Diligently Seeking ~

Lord, help me each day,
to diligently seek You
let it be Your light
I see shinning through.

Give me the dedication,
to study and read
so that in Your Word
I’ll find all that I need.

Lord, help me each day,
to trust in what I believe
give me the patience
so my crown I’ll receive.

Let me have the faith,
most pleasing to You
make me a believer
through and through.

Lord, help me each day,
to wait for Your direction
so that I may be rewarded
with the peace of perfection!

~~~~~~~

Hebrews 11:6

“But without faith
it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that
he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him.”

I know I will endure.

For, my God is steady,
He is immovable
with His guidance
anything is possible.

United ~

When God teaches you,
the truth He will show
and the things of His will
you will want to know.

When God in His Word,
begins to guide you
you’ll want godly conduct
in the things that you do.

When God teaches you,
how to walk on His way
you will choose carefully
the things that you say.

When God gives directions,
to the Cross it will lead
there you’ll find Jesus
and the grace to be freed.

When God teaches you,
of His power and might  . . .
He’ll fill you with holy fear
and your hearts will unite!

Teach me thy way, O Lord;
I will walk in thy truth:

Man’s Plans ~

You may have plans,
you want to pursue
you may have ideas
brand spanking new.

But God’s purposes,
are the ones to prevail
and His intentions
you won’t be able to derail.

You may have a vision,
you want to maintain
you may have dreams
you want to attain.

But God’s designs,
cannot be thwarted
His will for your life
cannot be aborted.

You may have plans,
but only God will decide
the steps you will take
when He is your guide!

“A man’s heart deviseth his way:
but the Lord directeth his steps.”

Judges 6:12-14

And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him,
and said unto him, The Lord is with thee,
thou mighty man of valour.

And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord,
if the Lord be with us, why then is all
this befallen us? and where be all his
miracles which our fathers told us of,
saying, Did not the Lord bring us up
from Egypt? but now the Lord hath
forsaken us, and delivered us into
the hands of the Midianites.

And the Lord looked upon him, and said,
Go in this thy might, and thou shalt
save Israel from the hand of the
Midianites: have not I sent thee?”

God Has A Plan ~

God has a plan,
I don’t know what it is
but, I don’t doubt it . . .
because it is His.

It’s probably not,
what I’d choose to do
for often my own thoughts
I selfishly pursue.

So, I’m going to let God,
lead me all the way
and from His plans
I’m not going to stray.

For, if I were to deviate,
from His strategy
it would be to Him
a grave travesty.

God has a plan,
I don’t know what it’ll be
but, I know it is one . . .
that will be good for me!

A Heavenly Vision ~

I need to make,
a really big decision
oh, how I wish I had
a heavenly vision.

I need to acquire,
a clearer insight
oh, how I wish I had
a bright cloudy light.

I need to find,
the way I should go
oh, how I wish I had
a pillar’s fiery glow.

I need an answer,
on the direction
oh, how I wish I had
a lit up connection.

Lord, I confess,
I don’t know what to do
so I’ll just be leaving . . .
this decision up to You!

Exodus 13:21

“And the Lord went before
them by day in a

to lead them the way;
and by night in a

Your Navigation Tool ~

When into your life,
a storm blows in
before it commences
to bring turmoil within.

Open up your Bible,
it will map out for you
how to maneuver
your way through.

When in deep waters,
uncharted, unknown
before the conditions
turn into a cyclone.

Your Bible is the tool,
to help you navigate
all the heavy swells
till the waters abate.

When into your life,
a storm blows through
use the Word of God
to calm and still you!
