Every Day Thanksgiving

1 Reply 
Thanksgiving
The world sets aside a day
To give thanks
But shouldn't that be everyday?
Thanks for the air I breath
Thanks for the water I drink
Thanks for the sun that shines
Thanks for the stars at night
Thanks for. The clean white snow
Thanks for the bright rainbow
Thanks for a gentle breeze
Thanks for the leafless trees
Thanks for a God who loves
So much that he gave His son
A sacrifice for you and me
So that we could all be free
Make every day Thanksgiving!

Today, Not Tomorrow

Today
Not tomorrow
Not next week
Not next month
Not next year
Today
Today is the day of salvation
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for
Today you will be with me in paradise
The kingdom of God is within you
Consecrate yourselves today
This is the day that the Lord has made
Today
What are you waiting for?
Why do you not speak?
Why do you not go?
Why do you not give?
Today is your day
Today is the only day God has given you.
There is no guarantee of tomorrow
Yesterday is gone
Today is your day
Now is your time

God Meets With Me

Leave a reply 
In the quiet of the morning
God meets with me
In the stillness of the evening
God meets with me
When I take time to be still
God meets with me
We can see His presence
Everywhere we look
When can marvel at His majesty
In His amazing creation
We can know that He is with us
Everywhere we go.
And He speaks to us!
The God of the universe
Speaks to us.
Daily.
Hourly.
Minute by Minute!
Take time to listen.
To listen to His voice.
To hear His sweet words.
Drawing us near
Ever so near.
"Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the cross where thou has died
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord
To the precious bleeding side.

Glorious Splendor

Leave a reply 
The rain gently falls
The sound is oh, so sweet
Nurturing the ground
Refreshing the air
Life giving water from above
This blessing falls on the just
And the unjust
As does the warmth of the sun
The calming breeze
The birds sweet lullaby
The brilliance of sunset
And the glorious splendor of the stars
Do you take notice?
Do you give thanks each day
For the blessings of that day?
Even when all is going wrong
God is still sending His blessings
Start to count them
Name them one by one
Count your many blessings
See what God has done.

Sow

Leave a reply 
Sow.
Sow no matter what
Sow in times of sadness
Sow in times of joy
Sow in times of turmoil
Sow in times of peace
Sow
You may not see
Or hear
Or feel
Or even touch
A harvest
But that does not mean
The harvest does not come
Or will not come
Sowing is never in vain
When we sow into God's kingdom
Sowing is never in vain
When we try to reach the lost
God will honor our efforts
he will touch their hearts
He will bring a harvest
Sow.
Every day
Every opportunity
Every person
Sow

All Of Creation raises The Lord

Leave a reply 
All of creation praises the Lord
The trees lift their branches in praise
The leaves change to show His beauty
Then they are released to dance with the wind in praise
The wind whistles praises through the night
And causes the wheat to bow in reverence 
The sun rises and displays His mighty power
It walks through the day and plays with the clouds in praise to our God
At night, the sun sets in glorious splendor
Showing His handiwork to all who will see
And then yields to the stars
The stars display His majesty at night
The moon smiles in praise to God
The stars twinkle for His glory
They stay in place by Him mighty power
There is no place I can go
No trouble I can have
No sorrow to great
That can not be calmed 
By viewing His handiwork
And being still before Him
All of creation praises the Lord

God Never Changes

Leave a reply 
God never changes.
If there are trouble in your life, God can change them to miracles
If you have doubts, God can change them to faith
If you are sick, God can change you to healed
If you're in sorrow, God can change it to joy
If you're trouble, God can change it to peace
If you're heart hurts, God can change it to comfort
If your lost, God can change you to found
If you're in sin, God can change you to righteous
If your alone, God can change it to oneness with Him
God never changes in His character, but he is ever changing our character - if we let Him.
Allow Him to change you as He sees fit - It's always for the best.

The Fruits of Righteousness

Leave a reply 
Righteousness,
Imparted only by God,
Through Jesus Christ His Son,
But given to us as a fruit
To be shared with others
To be implanted in others’ lives.
Be filled with the fruits of Righteousness
When we are filled,
We should spread that seed to others
Do you treat others with respect?
Do you do thing that are lovely?
Do you do things that are of good report?
Do you do things that are pure?
Do you do things that are holy?
Do you do things that are true?
Are you spreading righteousness in all you do?
If not, ask for His mercy
And start today

I Long For You

Leave a reply 
I long to behold Him
To be in His presence
To sense His glory
To have Him smile upon Me
To here His voice.
I long to serve Him
To share His presence with others
To declare His glory
To bring a smile to someone else's face
To introduce someone to Him
I long to worship Him
To dwell in His presence
To bask in His glory
To bring a smile upon His face
To lend Him my voice
I long for His touch
The touch of His presence
The touch of His glory
The touch of His delight in me
The sweet touch of His voice in my ear
I long for Jesus, 
My Lord and my Savior
My King and my Comforter
I long for you.

Hold On

Leave a reply 
Hold on
When the road gets long and hard
Hold on
When their seems to be no hope
Hold on
When the trial seems to large
Hold on
Hold on to Jesus
Hold on
When the task at hand is scary
Hold on
When the night is dark and lonely
Hold on 
When your faith is disappearing
Hold on
Hold on to Jesus.
Just hold on
He will help you through this test
He will give you peace and rest
He will help you find your way
To a place where souls are calm
Just hold on
He will come to your rescue
He will make the old things new
There is always hope when Jesus enters in
So hold on.
