The Fruit Of Meekness ~

The fruit of meekness,
is complaint and submissive
to the Holy Spirit’s whispers
it is never dismissive.

It is teachable,
obedient and wise
it esteems not itself
in it own eyes.

The fruit of meekness,
is never weak
for it is God’s strength
that it daily seeks.

It puts aside all evil,
to fight the good fight
for it is a doer of the word
and for Jesus is the light.

The fruit of meekness,
humbly permits
to be lead and guided
by the Holy Spirit!

Galatians 5:22

But the fruit of the Spirit is Meekness,

The Shield Of My Faith ~

Lord may Your word dwell,
deep within my heart
so I can fight off . . .
satan’s fiery darts.

May the shield of my faith,
give me full protection
so along with my trust in You
they can’t make a connection.

Lord, may Your wisdom,
teach me how to act
whenever I begin to feel
satan’s fiery attack.

May the shield of my faith,
give me the confidence
so he may know in my life
he has no dominance.

Lord, may Your word I use,
when fiery darts I see . .
by taking my shield of faith
so to make satan flee!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 6:16

Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Hold Fast ~

Hold fast to words sound,
hold them close to you
let them be your guide
in all the things you do.

Hold fast to your love for God,
hold tight onto His grace
let the Holy Spirit lead you
as you run the faithful race.

Hold fast to godly wisdom,
hold firm to that which is wise
let them direct you always
to keep your eyes on the prize.

Hold fast to the hope you have,
hold out until the very end
let the future promised keep you
from being to the world a friend.

Hold fast to words sound,
hold dear the Life, Truth and way
let nothing or no one . . .
cause you to ever stray!

2 Timothy 1:13-14

Hold fast the form of sound words,
which thou hast heard of me,
in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
That good thing which was committed
unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth in us.

Seeking What Is Wise ~

Lord, may I be a seeker,
a follower of Your Light
may I have the wisdom . . .
like the Magi’s did that night.

May I travel the distance,
regardless of how far
may I be willing to go
to wherever You are.

May I have the resolve,
to follow where You lead
may I have to Your will
the strength to always heed.

May I have the tenacity,
not to give up or quit
may I be to Your ways
determined to submit.

May I have the fortitude,
to journey into what is wise
may I have the insight
so Your path I’ll recognize.

Lord, may I always seek You,

Good Morning Quote ~12.15.22~

Sometimes God Nudges Me ~

Sometimes God nudges me,
to see if I am listening
to that still small voice
inside me whispering.

He wants to see if I’ll heed,
to His inaudible leading
to see if to His guidance
I’m willing to be yielding.

He applies gentle pressure,
in my heart and on my mind
to see if His plans for me
I’m willing to go and find.

He wants to see if I’ll ask,
to be by Him directed
and if by His wisdom
I’m willing to be perfected.

Sometimes God nudges me,
with whispers calm and sill
to see if I am willing . . . .
to really know His will!

Ephesians 5:17

 Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the
will of the Lord is.

When you’re not sure,

Open up your ears,

When you’re not convinced,

the wisdom to discern.

Open up your Bible,

and God will lead you
for the rest of your days.

When you need directions,
so you can be Spirit led . . .

Ephesians 5:17

I am Amazed ~

I fear God for one reason,
and it’s not that I’m afraid
I fear His mighty power . . .
for, it leaves me amazed.

I stare in astonishment,
at the works of His hand
how all came together
just by His command.

I worship Him and marvel,
as I gaze out into space
in awe I stand in wonder
of His mercy and His grace.

I tremble and I shake,
my understanding fails me
for, it’s hard to comprehend
all I can and cannot see.

I fear God for one reason,
but, it’s not that I am fearful
I fear Him because I know . . .
He is mightily powerful!

A Life Gentle ~

A life that is gentle,
doesn’t loose it’s cool
instead it follows
after the golden rule.

For it knows to treat,
others with respect
has a Light bearing
impact and affect.

An easy-going soul,
is mild and docile
for its tongue is tamed
and not judgmental.

For it knows how to be,
of its words in control
for the Spirit of God
lives in its very own soul.

A life that is gentle,
is one that is tactful
it doesn’t get even . . .
for it’s a life thoughtful!

James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from
above is first pure, then peaceable,

James 3:17

God’s Wise Ways ~

God’s ways are wise,
they’re full of wisdom
for they go against
the world’s system.

They lead and guide,
to the righteous way
not the one followed
so widely today.

God’s ways are holy,
they are profound
nothing about them
are found unsound.

For they are rich,
thoughtful and deep
bringing mercy and hope
when His truths we keep.

God’s ways are wise,
for He has a plan
redemptive and perfect
for all of man!

~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 55:8

For my thoughts are
not your thoughts,
neither are your ways
my ways, saith the Lord.

Romans 11:33

O the depth of the riches both
of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out!

Growing In Jesus ~

Grow in grace today,
plant faith in your heart
let it root itself in love . . .
and more grace it’ll start.

Grow in wisdom today,
let it dig its way into you
let it branch out and touch
everything you say and do.

Grow in humility today,
let meekness bud inside
so compassion can begin
to develop and divide.

Grow in charity today,
let is spring up and rise
make a contribution
no matter what the size.

Grow in knowledge today,
harvest from the Word
reap from the truth you find
then share all you’ve heard.

Grow in grace today,
grow in knowledge too
grow so others will see . . .
Jesus growing in you!
