Snippet of The Day 11.30.17

From the Poem:  Confused

Breaking Point ~

When you have reached,
your breaking point
turn to the Word of God
let it heal and anoint.

It will give you strength,
for what lies ahead
as you read the verses
pray to be Spirit lead

When you are confused,
not knowing what to do
open up your Bible
let its light show you.

On the pages you’ll find,
the truth and the way
and all of your tension
it will melt away.

When you have reached,
the point of breaking
trust God to do all . . .
your decision-making!

Psalm 119:105

“Thy word is a lamp
unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.”

Confused ~

Sometimes I get confused,
with everything I hear . . .
with so many Gospel messages
being hammered in my ear.

One says I must have works,
the other says by grace alone
still some say that for my sins
only grace with works will atone.

One says once saved always saved,
then I hear some one else say
if you want to get to heaven
Lordship salvation is the only way.

Some teach I need to be baptized,
if God, I ever want to see
some preach it’s not necessary
that eternity still waits for me.

Sometimes I get confused,
I feel tossed to and fro
but when I want the real truth . . .
into my Bible, I simply go!

Ephesians 4:14
King James Version

“That we henceforth be no more children,
tossed to and fro, and carried about
with every wind of doctrine,
by the sleight of men,and cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive;”

Be of Good Cheer ~

In this fallen world,
we’ll have pain and sorrow
but Jesus came to give us
a brighter tomorrow.

Oh, there’ll be days of defeat,
trials along with persecution
but Jesus came to overcome
the turmoil and confusion.

He knew we’d have troubles,
many worries and cares
but He came to comfort
and our burdens He does bear.

We’ll have grief and tragedy,
illnesses and disease
but He came to restore
and to set our minds at ease.

In this fallen world,
we’ll have pain and sorrow
but be of good cheer . . .
Jesus overcame our tomorrow!

John 16:33
King James Version

“These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace.
In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Fused ~

I’ve not always understood,
the path of pain God took me on
but, I am so very grateful
for it led me straight to His Son.

For, when my heart was troubled,
and my mind was confused
I learn to lean on my Savior
and now the two of us are fused.

When my life delivered me,
so many worldly cares . . .
I found I could release them
onto Jesus with my prayers.

Now the faith I have in my Lord,
cannot ever be shaken
for, He has proven to me . . .
He’d never leave me forsaken!

Proverbs 3:5-6
King James Version

“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.”
