When You’re Delighted ~
When you’re delighted,
to walk in God’s ways
that’s the time you’ll have
more peaceful days.
When you’re committed,
to seeking God first
that’s the time after Him
you genuinely thirst.
When you give God,
what your heart desires
that’s the time you’re doing
just what He requires.
When you trust God,
for everything
that’s the time you’ll see
each blessing He brings.
When in God’s ways
you’re truly delighted
that’s the time to be
joyfully excited!
~~~~~~~~
“Delight thyself also in the Lord:
and he shall give thee the desires
of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the Lord;
trust also in him; and he
shall bring it to pass.”

Seeking God First ~
When in the morning,
when God you first seek
ask Him to make you strong
in the places you are weak.
Ask Him to reveal to you,
what is His perfect will
ask Him to give you calm
in the areas you aren’t still.
Ask Him to shine His light,
on the righteous way
ask Him to be your eyes
before you start your day.
Ask Him to fill your heart,
with His mercy and His love
ask Him to be your ears
so to hear His voice above.
When in the evening,
when to God you start to pray
ask Him to remind you . . .
to seek Him first, the next day!
~~~~~~~~~
” My voice shalt thou hear
in the morning, O Lord;
in the morning will I direct
my prayer unto thee,
and will look up.”

His Perfect Peace ~
When I struggle
with crippling doubt
it’s when I don’t . . .
first seek God out.
When I think,
I am not really free
it’s when the devil
is messing with me.
When I battle,
with high anxiety
it’s when I don’t . . .
trust God’s authority.
When I feel,
I am all alone
it’s when my eyes
are off His throne.
When my fears,
to God, I release
it’s when I have . . .
His perfect peace!
~~~~~~~~
“Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed
on thee: because he
trusteth in thee.”

God First ~
Whenever I seek God first,
I cannot believe my eyes
the first thing I can see . . .
is right though Satan’s lies.
When I put God’s kingdom,
straight ahead of me
it openโs up my heart . . . .
to the way I ought to be.
Whenever I put God first,
I gain spiritual insight . . .
everything looks different
in the newness of His light.
Making His righteousness,
in my life a priority . . .
help me to live a life
with meekness and modesty.
When I seek God first,
I see things differently
when I first put God . . .
all things look heavenly!

Matthew 6:33
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.”
