So life has its troubles and worriesIts snowballs and storms with their flurriesThe change in the weather with high temps and lowMakes life with its bumps not so certain free flow The colors of things always changingFor life has a way rearrangingWhat’s certain is not, rearranged on the spot,What’s hoped for is shot, and so … Continue reading All in God’s Hands

Living Water
My people have forsaken Me,Their Savior, who died on a tree;Made idols, and they worshipped them;So empty, they will ne’er fulfill. Lord, You are the hope of Your chosen ones.Those who turn away from You will be shamed;The Spring of Living Water left behind. Living Water satisfies. The thirsty, let them come and drink;Believe in … Continue reading Living Water
Need To Endure
Trials will come,You can be sure.Testing is part of life.Need to endure. Troubles increase.Need for release.Put your faith in your Lord.You will find peace. Sorrows you face.Tears, they will fall.You will find comfort whenOn God you call. Tempter lays snare.Do not be fooled.Hypocrites playing you.Give them no pull. God is aware.He knows your plight.Don’t let … Continue reading Need To Endure
When in the Stillness
September 26, 2011 I was reading in 1 Corinthians 10 for my quiet time with the Lord.

And yet, God was not pleased with them, because they did not … Continue reading When in the Stillness

Walking With Jesus
"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he … Continue reading Walking With Jesus
Wait
Sometimes in life we face situations that are difficult to handle or even to comprehend. We get hurt, sad, frustrated, impatient, and/or confused, etc., longing for the day when God will intervene on our behalf or on the behalf of those we love, and/or when our circumstances will begin to make sense, and/or when our … Continue reading Wait
Life’s a Game?
Headed nowhere, that’s the game.Changing nothing, still the same.Fighting battles, not to win,For intending to give in. Play with fire, will get burned.Not intending hearts to turn.Always running here or there,Seeming to not have a care. Making fun of everything.Joking, laughing, life’s a fling.Entertainment – where it’s at!They’re not kidding – that’s a fact! Have … Continue reading Life’s a Game?
Unless You are Born Again
Jesus told Nicodemus that no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. When Nicodemus questioned how this could be done, Jesus answered him that people are born of the flesh when they are born from their mother’s wombs, but they must each also have a spiritual birth if they want … Continue reading Unless You are Born Again
