Rejoice Forever More ~
If we were to give,
thanks for everything
we would have more joy
no matter what life brings.
If we were to pray,
without ever stopping
we’d have God peace
in our heart’s throbbing.
If we were to be,
always prayerful
we’d remain in Jesus
always faithful.
If we were to seek,
God’s will each day
we’d be on our knees
whenever we pray.
If we are thankful,
to God when we implore
then we will rejoice . . .
with Him forever more!
~~~~~~
Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing.
In every thing give thanks:
for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus
concerning you.

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 open’s 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.”

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
