God’s Preparing The Way ~
God’s working everyday,
in the believer’s life
every experience
be it victory or strife.
He has a purpose,
behind all He exercises
He warns and corrects us
so our sin will recognize.
God tests where we’ll put,
our faith and trust
so He sends us trials
to see how we’ll adjust.
He has a reason,
for the storms that blow
and He wants to see
where we’ll choose to go.
God is preparing us,
working in us each day
for our future glory . . .
He is purifying the way!

“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:

Abiding On The Vine ~
If we are to remain,
abiding on the Vine
our life’s with Jesus
must intertwine.
If we are to abide,
in Jesus each day
we must be willing
to trust and obey.
If we are to stay,
connected to Him
we must allow Jesus
our branches to trim.
If we are to produce,
for Jesus good fruit
we must daily give
our ego’s a boot.
If we are to remain,
obey, produce and stay
then we must abide . . .
in His Word everyday.
~~~~~~
“I am the vine,
ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me,
and I in him,
the same bringeth
forth much fruit:
for without me
ye can do nothing.”

From the Beginning ~
From the beginning of time,
sin has played its part . . .
in severing any fellowship
with God from man’s heart.
Once a walk in the garden,
turned into a stroll down sin’s path
it was bound to lead mankind
to the throne of His wrath.
Man’s love for knowledge,
to increase his superiority
took away from God . . .
ever ounce of His authority.
Once man became his own god,
heย no longer saw theย need
to pursue afterย the living God
or to His Commandment’s heed.
From the beginning of time,
man has walked away . . .
from fellowship with God
so it is . . .ย the same today!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
“And they heard the voice of the Lord
God walking in the garden in the cool
of the day: and Adam and his wife hid
themselves from the presence of the
Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.”

Let Me Be Obedient ~
Lord, let me be obedient,
to Your Spirit,ย always true
let me seek and follow
only after Him and You.
Help me to be filled,
withย theย Spirit’s power
so, I may be guided . . .
my every waking hour.
Lord, let me be faithful,
in my daily walk
let it be Your words
in my daily talk.
Help me to trust You,
with all myย heart andย soul
so that You can be . . .
the one,ย always in control.
Lord, let me be obedient,
help me to trust You fully
for, when left on my own . . .
I’m defiant and unruly!
