Focus On Jesus ~
Some days good thoughts,
are hard to keep
sometimes it’s not easy
not to let the bad ones creep.
But, those who stay,
focused on the Lord
peace in their minds
will become shored.
Some days just crush,
our spirit’s into shards
sometimes it’s impossible
our hearts to guard.
But those who remain,
on the Lord centered
peace in their souls
will keep them sheltered.
Some days tranquility,
seems unobtainable . . .
but, those who focus on Jesus
will have peace unexplainable!
~~~~~~~
“And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding,
shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.

Pressurized ~
Feeling the pressure,
from your peers
no matter your age
or number of years?
Well, you won’t collapse,
under the pressure
if you keep your eyes on
your heavenly treasure.
Being influenced,
to follow the crowd
where anything goes
everything is allowed?
Well, you needn’t fold,
under the pressure
if you go to your Bible
for a daily refresher.
Being criticized,
for how you believe
because worldly views
you refuse to receive?
Well don’t you give in,
no matter the pressure
know your faith in God
brings Him pleasure.
Being mocked,
teased and made fun of
because you rather follow
the Light from above?
Well don’t you cave in,
nor be conformed . . .
instead let your mind
in God be transformed!
~~~~~~~
“And be not conformed
to this world:
but be ye transformed
by the renewing
of your mind,
that ye may prove what is
that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.”
King James Version

Peace Perfectly ~
If we’re to have peace,
in our daily life . . .
we need to stay fixed
on God not our strife.
For, hearts that are stayed,
on God’s tranquility
are the hearts trusting Him
in all totality.
If we’re to have,
peace perfectly
our minds must seek
Him thirstily.
For minds that are focused,
on God’s serenity
are the minds that believe
in Him entirely.
If we want to have peace,
our eyes need to be
steady on God . . .
not on the things we see!
~~~~~~~~~
“Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed
on thee: because he
trusteth in thee.

Today’s Verse ~ Bible Gateway- 1 Samuel 16:7“But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.””

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
