Guarding Your Heart ~
Guarding your heart,
is a daily must . . .
and the Holy Spirit
you’ll need to trust.
For He’ll alert you to,
satan’s earthly snares
so to his tipsy bait
you will be aware.
Preparing your heart,
is a daily thing . . .
for you never know
the cares it’ll bring.
For a heart ready,
is a warrior sober
and to satan’s lures
it will not trip over.
Guarding your heart,
is a daily to do . . .
for it may be the day
Jesus comes for you!
~~~~~~~
And take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts
be overcharged with surfeiting,
and drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day
come upon you unawares.

Signs Of The Times ~
Signs of the times,
everywhere you look
all once foretold . . .
in the Good Book.
Rebellion rampant,
morality unbridled
unbelievers in God
defiance entitled.
Seductive beguilers,
lovers of gratification
lust and sin loaded
reeking of corruption.
Hatred unrestrained,
ingrates thankless
pleasure seekers
unruly and godless.
Signs of the times,
love for pleasures worsening
all because satan . . .
is evil and deceiving!
~~~~~~~~~~
This know also, that in
the last days perilous
times shall come.
For men shall be lovers
of their own selves, covetous,
boasters, proud, blasphemers,
disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection,
trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers
of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded,
lovers of pleasures
more than lovers of God;

Oh, To Hear His Voice ~
Oh, to hear His voice in clarity,
confusion to come to cease
to rid our life of all anxiety
with the infusion of His peace.
To know His voice of wisdom,
all foolishness put to an end
to listen for His instructions
on life’s every path and bend.
To know His voice of counsel,
all bad advice to be banished
to oust the voice of darkness
until wickedness has vanished.
To know His voice of rest,
all fear brought to its knees
to drive out the enemy
and watch him as he flees.
To know His voice of truth,
all deception put to bed
to cast out satan’s trickery
so we can be Spirit lead.
Oh, to hear His voice in clarity,
is our Shepherd’s prayer
to rid our lives of anxiety . . .
so to find rest in His care!

“And other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold:
them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice;
and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.”

When Today I See A Rainbow ~
When today I see a rainbow,
in the rainy, cloudy skies . . .
I have to ponder if it’s formed
from all of our tears and cries.
For, a rainbow can’t be seen,
unless the Son shines too
and I wonder if it holds . . .
God, surrendered hearts to You.
When today I see a rainbow,
I see a commitment once made
I have to ponder if it’s formed
of lost sheep that have strayed.
For, a rainbow can’t be seen,
unless the Son comes out too
and I wonder if it holds . . .
God, those coming back to You.
When today I see a rainbow,
I sit and I ponder . . .
the promise that God made
and I marvel at its wonder!
~~~~~~~~~~
And God said, This is the token
of the covenant which I make
between me and you and every
living creature that is with you,
for perpetual generations:
I do set my bow in the cloud,
and it shall be for a token
of a covenant between me
and the earth.
