Numbering Our Days ~

When we learn,
to number our days
we will discover . . .
God’s righteous ways.

For then we will be,
well-advised and wise
how to keep our eyes
on the one real prize.

When we learn,
just how weak we are
we’ll find God’s strength
is never too far.

For then we will see,
without His power
we are nothing but . . .
cowering cowards.

When we learn,
our days our numbered
by our own foolish ways
we’ll not be encumbered!

~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 90:12

So teach us
to number our days,
that we may apply
our hearts unto wisdom.

Faith Stabilizing ~

Faith stabilizing,
is faith energizing
it’s strong and robust
for in God it trusts.

It believes in things,
it can’t possibly see
it knows Jesus still . . .
calms the storms at sea.

Faith steadying,
is faith unshaken
it’s firm and secure
in truth it’s awaken.

It believes God’s Word,
from it, it waivers not . . .
it remains truehearted
in its mind and thought.

Faith revitalizing,
constantly is renewing
as the narrow way . . .
it keeps on pursuing!

~~~~~~~

James 1:6

But let him ask in faith,
nothing wavering. For he
that wavereth is like a
wave of the sea driven
with the wind and tossed.

Day’s End ~

Heavenly Father,
my day is drawing to an end
and I just want to thank You
for all the blessings You send.

I thank You for Your presence,
whether felt or not
for showing me compassion
when feeling over fraught.

Heavenly Father,
thank You for protecting me
with heaven-sent angels
those that I can and can’t see.

Thank you for Your wisdom,
giving me the heart to hear
but mostly I thank you . . .
for always being ever near.

Heavenly Father,
as tonight I close my eyes
I pray for Your mercy new
tomorrow when I rise!

Lamentations 3:22-23

“It is of the Lord’s mercies
that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not.

They are new every morning:
great is thy faithfulness.”

Daily Seeking God’s Face ~

Seeking God’s face,
leads to eternal life
forgiveness of sin
peace from its strife.

It leads to blessings,
His daily provisions
gives understanding
much needed protection.

Seeking God’s face,
leads to faith and hope
offers instructions
gives grace to cope.

It leads to wisdom,
strength and renewal
it causes rejoicing
overcomes upheaval.

Seeking God’s face,
each day is a must
for it provides
continual trust!

“Seek the Lord and his strength,
seek his face continually.”

Daily Prayers ~

I pray each day,
for these things
and for the peace
that they’ll  bring.

For my weaknesses,
to be strong
lest I stop singing
salvation’s song.

For my daily needs,
to be met
lest God’s goodness
I forget.

For my fears,
to be set free
lest His mercy
I’ll fail to see.

For my worries,
alone not to bear
lest onto Jesus
I’ll cast not my care.

For my doubt,
to turn to trust
lest to God’s ways
I’ll not adjust.

Each new day,
before it I begin to start
I give to God . . .
the prayers on my heart!

~~~~~~~

Matthew 21:22

“And all things,
whatsoever ye shall ask
in prayer,
believing,
ye shall receive.”

God Makes Things Happen ~

God makes things happen,
in His time, at His will
He can make the wind’s gust
or He can cause them to still.

He can alter the course,
of the season’s of the year
He can make them painless
or cause in them great fear.

God, makes things happen,
nothing is a coincidence
everything He does . . .
is of great significance.

He makes kingdoms rise,
He causes them to tumble
He can withdrawn His wisdom
or give it to the humble.

God, makes things happen,
in His time, at His will
there is no one else who has
His power, or His skill!

Daniel 2:20-21

“Daniel answered and said,
Blessed be the name of God
for ever and ever:
for wisdom and might are his:

And he changeth the times
and the seasons: he removeth kings,
and setteth up kings: he giveth
wisdom unto the wise,
and knowledge to them
that know understanding:”
