Not My Will Lord ~

Not my will Lord,
but Yours . . . .
not my desires
but Yours . . .

For You Lord know,
what is best
and so my prayer
in Your hands rest.

Not my will Lord,
but Thous
not my dreams
but Thous . . .

For You Lord have,
all in control
and so all is well
with my soul.

Not what I will Lord,
but what You wilt
not what I would Lord
but what You wilt!

Luke 22:42

Saying, Father, if thou be willing,
remove this cup from me:
nevertheless not my will,
but thine, be done.

Proverbs 3:5

God Is Working ~

I know God is working,
I can feel His hand . . .
I know it’s in His strength
I am still able to stand.

I can sense His presence,
I know He is near
I can perceive there’s not
anything for me to fear.

I know God is around,
I realize His intention
I know He is wanting
my humble attention.

I can hear Him saying,
this is under My control
so trust it to Me . . .
with all your heart and soul.

I know God is working,
though Him I cannot see
He’s behind the scene . . .
doing something new in me!

~~~~~~~~

1 Peter 5:6

Humble yourselves
therefore under the
mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt
you in due time:

Job 23:9

On the left hand, where he doth work,
but I cannot behold him:
he hideth himself on the right hand,
that I cannot see him:

In God’s Almighty Hands ~

Sometimes troubles come,
changing all our plans . . .
making it ever clearer
all things are in God’s hands.

Hands that long to hold,
to comfort and to console
hands that want to heal
the ache within the soul.

Hands that desire to reach,
far into the heart and mind
hands that hold perfect peace
for fearful ones to find.

Hands that crave to embrace,
grieving hearts in the night
hands that yearn to lead
all to His saving light.

Hands that are capable,
hands confident and sure
hands that calm the storms
hands that holds life’s cure.

Sometimes troubles come,
and we must change our plans
so that we may come to rest . . .
in His almighty hands!

~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 41:10

“Fear thou not;
for I am with thee:
be not dismayed;
for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee;
yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee
with the right hand
of my righteousness.”

Psalm 37:24

“Though he fall,
he shall not be utterly
cast down:
for the Lord upholdeth
him with his hand.”

Good Morning Quote ~12.31.21~

Hello Jesus ~

Hello Jesus I need to talk,
I need an ear to hear
how the root of evil
in today’s world I fear.

I need to know from You,
all is in Your control
I need to have Your peace
resting here in my soul.

Hello Jesus I need to ask,
how in this world I’m to cope
when there are so many
who haven’t a drop of hope.

I need to understand,
just what it will take
to help save those
from their eternal fate.

Hello Jesus I need to talk,
I need You to tell me
why in today’s world
so much evil I now see!

~~~~~~~~

John 16:33

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.

Isaiah 14:24

Don’t Be Discouraged ~

Don’t be discouraged,
though things are depressing
rather into Jesus . . .
keep deeper pressing.

For in the midst of chaos,
of upheaval and unrest
Jesus is the only one . . .
who can bring you rest.

Don’t be dragged down,
by what you are seeing
rather in God trust . . .
with all of your being.

For in the midst of anarchy,
God is still in control . . .
so let this truth your heart
soothe and console.

Don’t be discouraged,
neither be you dismayed . . .
for one day Jesus will return
so be strong and not afraid!

~~~~~~~~~~

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and of a good courage,
fear not, nor be afraid of them:
for the Lord thy God,
he it is that doth go with thee;
he will not fail thee,
nor forsake thee.

Bargain With God ~

Some people think,
with God they can bargain
some think to their terms
He will gladly hearken.

But, God will not make,
with us any kind of deal
He only wants us to know . . .
what’s for us is His perfect will.

Some people say to God,
if You do this ~ I’ll do that . . .
some will haggle with Him
and take Him to the mat.

But, we cannot entice,
God to do anything . . .
for He is in control
of absolutely everything.

Some people with God,
think they can bargain
but to our haggling
He will not harken!

Ephesians 1:11

In whom also we have obtained
an inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who
worketh all things after the counsel
of his own will:

God Holds The Stars ~

God holds the stars,
right in their place
sets the whole earth
into orbit’s race.

He commands the sun,
to up and shine
then tells it when
it needs to recline.

He moves the clouds,
seasons He forms
He controls the calm
orders up the storms.

He tells the moon,
when it’s time to rise
then orders it to dip
right into the skies.

God holds the universe,
right in His hands . . .
for His own pleasure
according to His plans!

~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 147:4

He telleth the number of the stars;
he calleth them all by their names.

Revelation 4:11 

Thou art worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory and honour
and power: for thou hast created
all things, and for thy pleasure
they are and were created.

Sticky Note From God ~02.06.19~

Creator Of All Things ~

God made and keeps,
all things in order
everything moves
within His border.

The sun and moon,
are set high in the sky
their course plan
is controlled by His eye.

The earth and plants,
revolve by His design
His purpose for them
are perfectly in line.

The stars and cosmos,
come out at His will
He says when to shoot
or to remain sky still.

God is the creator,
of all things we see . . .
by faith I even believe
His image is in me!

~~~~~~~~

Hebrews 11:3

“Through faith we understand
that the worlds were framed
by the word of God, so that
things which are seen were not
made of things which do appear.”
