Under The Shade of An Olive Tree ~
Under the shade,
of an old olive tree . . .
is where Jesus often
meets alone with me.
It’s where we converse,
after prayers are said
it’s where I find myself
by His Spirit being lead.
I sit there for a spell,
listen to His prodding
with my eyes shut tight
and my head nodding.
It’s then that I open up,
my mind for His access
so on my heart His lessons
He can instill and impress.
Under the cool shadows,
of an old olive tree . . .
is where I meet Jesus
so He can disciple me!
~~~~~~
When Jesus had spoken these words,
he went forth with his disciples
over the brook Cedron, where was
a garden, into the which he entered,
and his disciples.

Ensconced In Prayer ~
Lord, I don’t want to sound,
like a record that’s broken
to You I know these words
I have already spoken.
But, I am still expecting,
answers to my prayers
so again I’m giving You
the weight of my cares.
Lord, I don’t want to sound,
like a faucet dripping
nor come across to You
as if I just nagging.
But, I was wondering,
if I needed to repeat
my laying this burden
once more at Your feet.
Lord, I’m still waiting,
on Your response
so I guess in prayer . . .
I’ll stay ensconced!
~~~~~~
Pray without ceasing.

That Secret Place ~
I found that sweet spot,
where with God I can be
I found when I’m there
He too is there with me.
I found that place of peace,
where to God I can pray
I found when I’m there
we have so much to say.
I found that niche of hope,
where with God I’m alone
I found when I’m there
there is no real time zone.
I found that nook of stillness,
where with God I converse
I found when I’m there
in quietude I’m immersed.
I found that secret place,
where with God I can be
I found when I’m there . . .
He dwells there too with me!
~~~~~~~~~
He that dwelleth
in the secret place
of the most High
shall abide under
the shadow of
the Almighty.

The Sound Of Silence ~
Upon the break of day,
I feel a calming stillness . . .
where everything appears
to be oddly motionless.
The sedated quietness,
infiltrates the early dawn
to the sound of silence
I find myself gently drawn.
The placid tranquility,
awakens up my soul
to ponder how only God
could this quietude control.
The peace radiating down,
seems so imaginable
that in its grip I remain
completely immovable.
Surrounded in the silence,
I sense this to be
just the kind of stillness . . .
that Jesus wants for me!
~~~~~~~
Be still, and know that I am God:

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

~ What Can Man Do? ~
I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
