Thoughts for Today!

Suffering brings fruit!


If you want victory surrender to God first!


The world is tainted with truth but the Word is an absolute


If you want to experience the Holy Spirit thirst!


Give to the unnoticed and misguided because Jesus did!


If you want freedom abide in Christ


Be mature like an adult but like love like a kid


Forgive 77 x 7 times not just twice

Soul’s Ache

Withstand

Every demand

With your head

In your hand


Feeling scared

Underprepared

If you trust God

Know He cares


Delegations

Uncomfortable situations

Be bold

Keep your ambitions


Jesus to the cross

Shows whose boss

It’s destiny

Not a coin toss


This world is ugly

Deepest black sea

A current

Of hypocrisy


Jesus says

To pray

For everyone

Esp. for your enemy


Trust your faith

The soul’s ache

The map of longing

To never forsake

Footsteps in the Garden

Idle talk 

Can you walk the walk?

Some days are strange

Can’t handle the change

Bad fruit on the vine

But I say I am fine


Pluck the weeds

To cover up my greed

And idle hands

And unmet plans 

God, where are You?

Will you make my heart anew?


I hear your footsteps in the garden 

I hope my heart doesn’t harden

But I am scared

And underprepared 

But You say, “I take you as you are”

I will be with you no matter if you travel far

The Power of Scripture

For the Lord takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory

Blessed are the pure in heart for God they will see

A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord will direct his steps 

I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths 


We can’t do anything without the power of Scripture

He is our peace and blessed assurance

Without Him we wouldn’t be content and pure

He gives love and life insurance 

Your word is a lamp to my feet

Let patient ever have its perfect work, 

That you lacking nothing and may be perfect and complete

By His promised Holy Spirit seal you were marked


We can’t do anything without the power of the Word

It’s sharper than any two-edged sword

You want peace but your life is blurred

Remember Jesus by whose wounds you were 

cured


Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God

I am comforted by Your staff and rod

Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart

If you are lost, then the Bible is a great place to start

Mother Earth, Where Are You?

Mother Earth, Where are You?

This sandy air has no moisture to it

I feel the coming rage

Slumped shoulders bring war

Started by the chaos of a plague


If I have committed sins

I have asked for forgiveness

But I see Pharaoh

Judgement is imminent, nevertheless


I won the lottery

A chance of a lifetime

To be enslaved

You think I have it made


I see people not smile

It breaks my very core

I see the political system in upheaval

My praying knees are so feeble


This world is changing again

But for the worst

A pregnant planet

Whose sick baby is coming forth


So speedy and slick

When left to our own devices

We are weak and scared

Only holding it up closer in a crisis


No, I do care

Do you care that I have tended this garden of life?

I feel desperation coming through

Mother Earth, where are you?

Statues of Old (Everything will Eventually be Fine)

As the leaves fall like a forgotten dream

You think you knew the answers

Now nothing is as it seems

You crush the leaves into tiny parts

Reminiscent of your remorse


Statutes of old will crumble

Business of polish will stall

Religious traditions will break

So our hearts will awake 


Can you see what’s happening?

We are being poured from the inside out?

Are we preaching what we are practicing?

It takes time for the planets to align

Trust me, everything will be eventually be fine
