Psalm 119:9

 

With All of My Heart and Soul ~

Lord may I love You,
forever to You, may I cleave
may my heart and soul
from Your ways never leave.

May my heart obey You,
diligently may I conform
may my love for You
never grow lukewarm.

May I always trust You,
and the power of Your might
may I draw all of my strength
from the greatness of Your light.

May I remain faithful,
may the joy of my salvation
cause me to be full of hope
filled with peaceful jubilation.

Lord, with all my heart and soul,
I love You more each day . . .
may You continue to guide me
to walk in all your ways!

Joshua 22:5

“But take diligent heed
to do the commandment and the law,
which Moses the servant of the Lord
charged you, to love the Lord
your God, and to walk in all his
ways, and to keep his commandments,
and to cleave unto him, and to
serve him with all your heart
and with all your soul.”

Road Signs ~

There are many road signs,
that we all must obey . . .
they direct and guide us
how to go the correct way.

They warn us of the speed,
on every twist and bend
some alert us what’s ahead
is only a dead-end.

Some tell us we must yield,
before we enter into traffic
or we might find ourselves
suffering something tragic.

Others tell us when to go,
some when we’re to merge
some say to slow down . . .
others when to converge.

At every intersection,
we’re told where to stop
or else we should be ready
to be pulled over by a cop.

There are many road signs,
that we all must obey . . .
and so it is with the Bible
but, it only leads . . . one way!

Psalm 119:20

“My soul breaketh . . .
for the longing that it hath
unto thy judgments at all times.”

Childlike Faith ~

Give me faith like a child,
without fear and doubt
where the Word of God
can root, grow and sprout.

Give me an attitude,
that believes readily
where happiness and joy
overflows steadily.

Give me childlike faith,
pure and simple . . .
one that is steadfast
not unsure or fickle.

Give me a mindset,
that to God is reachable
a mind that is open
hungry and teachable.

Give me a heart,
that is willing to obey
that humbly follows
without going astray.

Give me a soul,
that is calm and quiet
one that on God
is always reliant.

Give me faith like a child,
innocent and sweet
eagerly anticipating the day
when  Jesus and I will meet!

Matthew 11:25
King James Version

“At that time Jesus
answered and said,
I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth,
because thou hast hid these
things from the wise
and prudent,
and hast revealed
them unto babes.”

All Things Are Possible ~

All things are possible,
when in God you trust
all things are promising
when you see He is just.

All things have meaning,
when in God you believe
all things have purpose
when His Spirit you receive.

All things are a blessing,
when God you obey
all things come together
when to Him you pray.

All things are attainable,
when God is your hope
all things are brighter
when He helps you to cope.

All things are achievable,
when in God you rest
all things will work out
when He does what is best.

All things work together,
when your life to Jesus you give
all things are beautiful
when He’s the reason you live!

Luke 1:37
King James Version

“For with God
nothing shall be impossible.”
