Up Against Satan ~
I fight not against the bait,
that is placed upon the hook
but rather against satan who want’s
to keep me out of life’s book.
I wrestle not against the helm,
that fights the winds at sea
but rather against the gusts of sin
that the devil blasts at me.
I struggle not against the storms,
that I battled with each day
but rather against the evil powers
that want me on the wide way.
I grapple not against a people,
that can’t see my point of view
but rather against their defiance
of a Savior they never knew.
I am up against a universe,
made by God for man’s delight
yet opts to live in the darkness . . .
then to dwell in His saving light!
~~~~~~~~
“Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life,
to which you were also called
and have confessed the good
confession in the presence of
many witnesses.”
For we wrestle not against flesh
and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places.

I Am Here ~
Here I AM,
guiding you all the way
looking out for you
be it night or day.
Here I AM,
taking away pain’s sting
healing your heartache
shielding you with My wing.
Here I AM,
always there for you
never leaving your side
helping you in all you do.
Here I AM,
bringing you new hope
working in you My peace
giving you ways to cope.
So, if you ever wonder,
where I can be found
all you have to do
is to take a look around . . .
For I AM here!
~~~~~~~~~
“And God said to Moses,
“I AM WHO I AM.”
Teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo,
I am with you always, even
unto the end of the world. Amen.

Every Day Choices ~
Every day we make choices,
what to eat, to wear, to do
day-to-day there’s options
God places in front of you.
Every day there are decisions,
influencing our daily life
some will bring endless joy
others only eternal strife.
Every day we must decide,
the things to us that matter
some make our faith stronger
others causes it to scatter.
Every day we can pick,
which path or road to take
some are straight and narrow
others lead to the wide gate.
Every day we need to select,
where to lay up our treasure
each new day we need to fix on
what will bring God pleasure.
We need to make choices,
each and every day
and it is up to each of us . . .
to follow Jesus along the way!
~~~~~~~
“Enter ye in at the strait gate:
for wide is the
gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction
and many there be
which go in there at:”
Trust in the Lord
with all thine heart;
and lean not unto
thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.

God Loves Us ~
We pick the daisy’s petals,
to see if we’re loved or not
we wish upon a star . . .
hoping our dreams are caught.
We rub a rabbit’s foot,
hoping love comes our way
we kiss a toad in hopes . . .
it turns into a prince one day.
We toss a penny in a well,
wishing love will finally come
we cross our fingers in hope
our heart-strings it will strum.
We look for the golden key,
to open our heart’s door
we seek the rainbow’s end
hoping true love we will score.
We pick the daisy’s petals,
to see if we’re loved or not
but, we know God loves us . . .
for our lives, Jesus bought!
~~~~~~~~~
“Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.”

Raise My Hands In Praise ~
Some days I want to stand,
on top of the highest hill . . .
raise my hands to the Lord
and tell Him how I feel.
I want to shout out my love,
hear His echo back at me . . .
I want to close my eyes tight
hoping His face I might see.
Some days I want to be alone,
on the tallest mountain top
sing my praises to the Lord
never wishing for them to stop.
I want to show my gratitude,
my heartfelt appreciation
I want to cry out to Him
my thanks for His salvation.
Some days I want to stand,
and soak in all of His peace . . .
and raise my hands upwards
as my praise to Him I release!

“My heart is fixed,
O God, my heart is fixed
I will sing and give praise.”

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

~ What Can Man Do? ~
I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
