Never Depleted ~

Though I am weary,
I am never depleted
for my Lord supplies me
with strength when needed.
He always leads me to find,
waters running still
whenever I follow
after knowing His will.
Though I am tired,
I am never exhausted
for, it’s in my Shepherd
all these years I’ve trusted.
He renews my soul daily,
my heart He hourly repairs
whenever I give to Him
the bulk of my earthly cares.
Though I am fatigued,
I am never powerless
for, my Lord keeps me . . .
from being weak and helpless!
~~~~~~~~
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want. He maketh
me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me
in the paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.

All for Joy ~

Count it all for joy,
each trial you go through
give it not a second thought
then watch what God will do.
Count it all for joy,
when tested for your belief
patience will be your reward
and His peace your relief.
Count it all for joy,
as He performs His work in you
let His perfection complete
and make you someone new.
Count it all for joy,
lest you be tossed about
seek by faith all your needs
and in God never doubt.
Count it all for joy,
for His wisdom is yours to gain
ask believing without fear
and in your life He will reign.
Count it all for joy,
no matter your despair
let His love fill you up . . .
and your life He’ll repair!
~~~~~~
“My brethren, count it all joy
when ye fall
into divers temptations;
Knowing this,
that the trying of your faith
worketh patience.”

Working Together ~

If we know all things,
work for our own good
why don’t we trust God
as we know we should?
For if we love Him,
no matter what happens
it’s so that our faith
He can hone and sharpen.
If we believe all things,
by God are appointed
why are we cast down
whenever disappointed?
For if we are called,
to knowing His perfect will
regardless what transpires
our heart’s will remain still.
If all things have a purpose,
if God is working them together
it’s for our own good . . .
so we can be with Him forever!
~~~~~~~~
And we know that all things
work together for good to
them that love God, to them
who are the called according
to his purpose.

Children Of Wrath ~

Son’s of disobedience,
daughter’s of defiance
bonded together by
a rebellious alliance.
Conformed to the world,
it’s thoughts and it’s ways
indulging in wickedness
to evil their hearts sway.
Their fleshly appetites,
are full of lustful craving
their earthly desires
are to sin enslaving.
They follow after those,
with the same philosophy
not wanting anything to do
with God and His sovereignty.
Son’s and daughter’s,
children of the wrath
need us to help them
get on the righteous path!
~~~~~~~~
Among whom also we all had
our conversation in times past
in the lusts of our flesh,
fulfilling the desires of the flesh
and of the mind; and were by nature
the children of wrath, even as others.

Life Over The Hill ~

Life once over the hill,
is not an unproblematic one
for the older you get . . .
the more into things you run.
Your eyesight begins to fade,
your hearing not so good
plus you forget the things
you once knew you could.
There are many obstacle,
you need to get around
and it is harder than ever
to rise up and rebound.
But, there is one thing,
that isn’t too doddering
for the older you get . . .
you can do more pondering.
For, with age comes wisdom,
like you never had before
plus all the time you need
for your Bible to explore.
Life once over the hill,
isn’t easy physically . . .
but oh, what a boost it brings
to you spiritually!
~~~~~~
With the ancient is wisdom;
and in length of days
understanding.
