God’s Plans ~

God’s plans for you,
are yours to discover . . .
they’re found in your Bible
from cover to cover.

A future of hope,
for you He has in store
once you open to Him
your seeking heart’s door.

Your life He will guide,
when you seek Him first
He’ll satisfy your needs
your hunger and thirst.

Once to Him you commit,
your steps He will guide
when directions you need
He’ll help you to decide.

God’s plans for you,
are easy to find . . .
but, first you must seek Him
with all your heart and mind!

~~~~~~~~

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the thoughts
that I think toward you,
saith the Lord, thoughts
of peace, and not of evil,
to give you an expected end.

Proverbs 16:9

A man’s heart deviseth his way:
but the Lord directeth his steps.

Matthew 6:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.

Fear Out Of Respect ~

I live with fear,
out of respect
for the Word of God
I do not reject.

I hold the truth,
close to my breast
so in righteousness
my soul can rest.

I live boldly,
wisdom I seek
for the more I know
the less I am weak.

I look to God,
in times trying
knowing my strength
He’ll be supplying.

I live with fear,
it makes me brave
for the Word of God . . .
shows me how to behave!

~~~~~~~~

Proverbs 14:2

 He that walketh in his uprightness
feareth the Lord: but he that is
perverse in his ways despiseth him.

Sticky Note From God ~02.10.26

2 Timothy 3:16-17


My True Inspiration ~


Lord, when I study the Word,
I’m filled with true inspiration
for it opens up to me . . .
thought for contemplation.

I see that You desire,
for me to seek Your will
I can see my objective
is learning to be still.

I see You have a purpose,
for me so many plans
I see that I must leave
everything in Your hands.

I see that You aim,
to renew me each day
I see that I must seek
the Truth, Life and Way.

I see that You endeavor,
for me to finish the race
I see that my good works
are perfected by Your grace!

~~~~~~~~

2 Timothy 3:16-17

”All scripture is given
by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness
:

That the man of God may be
perfect, thoroughly furnished
unto all good works.”

They flow all about,

A Light Burning In Me ~

There is a Light,
it’s burning in me
through the darkness
it helps me to see.

It’s like a pillar,
consumed with fire
kindling in my soul
God’s will and desire.

There is a Light,
in my heart it shines
through the darkness
the truth it defines.

It’s like a lamp,
it softly glows
my every step
God’s path it shows.

There is a Light,
unto the world it came
no man can put out
its eternal flame.

Jesus, is that Light,
He’s the Truth to the Way
and out of the darkness . . .
He wants to lead you today!

~~~~~~~~

John 8:12

“Then spake Jesus
again unto them, saying,

I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me
shall not walk in darkness,

but shall have the light of life.”

Getting Ready For Another Year ~

Lord, I am getting ready,
for another year . . .
and I pray it is one
that brings me to You near.

I know that we are close,
but I feel we could be
even closer yet . . .
and I know it’s up to me.

For, You are always here,
whenever You I need
You are never far away
when by Bible I daily read.

There I can find You,
with words comforting
as tender drops of mercy
You have for me awaiting.

Lord, I am getting ready,
for another year . . .
and I pray Your goodness
will crown me with good cheer.

Thou crownest the year

thy paths drop fatness.

Lord, My heart is steadfast,

In You it is stable,
it’s solid and sound
nothing in this world
can turn it around.

Lord, my heart is steadfast,
in You it is preserved
though Your love for me
has never been deserved.

In You it is rooted,
to Your truth grounded
for in Your word it is . . .
ingrained and founded.

Lord, my heart is steadfast,
to You I will sing . . .
a sweet thankful melody
with all of my being!

If We Love Jesus ~

If Jesus we love,
His words we’ll keep
we will follow them
like obedient sheep.

We will seek to do,
what He has taught
we will keep His words
in our daily thoughts.

If Jesus we love,
His word we will read
and to His instruction
we’ll faithfully heed.

We’ll keep His commands,
and do what they say
for we know they’ll keep us
on the straight, narrow way.

If Jesus we love,
He will come abide in us
and so will His Father
because His word we trust!

~~~~~~~~

John 14:23

Jesus answered and said
unto him, If a man love me,
he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.

God’s Word I Praise ~

I will praise God’s Word,
for its powerful and true
in God’s Word I will trust
in everything I do.

I will behold its wisdom,
it will be my guiding light
the lamp that directs me
whether it be day or night.

I will praise God’s Word,
I will hold it in high regard
for it will not let me down
its truth I will not discard.

I will cling to its promise,
to give me His power
I will claim its strength
my every waking hour.

I will praise God’s Word,
for it’s in God I believe
other gospels will only . . .
mislead and deceive!

A Way Of Escape ~

A way of escape,
God will make . . .
whenever temptation
at us satan shakes.

For He always has,
for us a way out
and using His Word
is the only route.

A way of escape,
God will provide
whenever with satan
our lives collide.

For He always has,
for us a battle plan
and it begins with
our taking His hand.

A way of escape,
God has for you and me
and if we follow it . . .
satan will up and flee!

~~~~~~~~

1 Corinthians 10:13

There hath no temptation taken
you but such as is common to man:
but God is faithful, who will not suffer
you to be tempted above that ye are able;
but will with the temptation also make
a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

Lord, Keep Me Thirsty ~

Keep me thirsty Lord,
let not my soul dry out
keep me in the Word
where hope runs throughout.

Keep me thirsty Lord,
let not my love wane or wither
keep me in the Bible
where joy flows like a river.

Keep me thirsty Lord,
let not my heart shrivel
keep me in the Scriptures
where peace never fizzles.

Keep me thirsty Lord,
let not my spirit dehydrate
keep me in the Verses
where grace never evaporates.

Keep me thirsty Lord,
let not my faith decrease or shrink
keep me in the Word  . . .
where living waters I can drink!

that great day of the feast,

Autumn’s Refreshing Rain ~

I love when God sends,
Autumn’s first refreshing rain
to wash away the grime . . .
on my soul’s windowpane.

It helps me to see,
how over summer’s busy break
the dryness that’s within . . .
and the changes I need to make.

I study the dust settling,
atop my old, trusty Bible
shaking it off I am ready
for a Holy Spirit revival.

The showers bring about,
a renewal in my heart
restoring my faith and hope
before winter’s chilly start.

I love when God sends,
Autumn’s first refreshing rain
so in my heart and soul . . .
Jesus can settle in again!

~~~~~~~~

Isaiah 45:8

“Drop down, ye heavens, from above,
and let the skies pour down
righteousness: let the earth open,
and let them bring forth salvation,
and let righteousness spring up together;
I the Lord have created it.”

The Lord Is My Portion ~

Lord, You are my portion,
You are all that I need
Your goodness fills me up
when on your Word I feed.

The measure of Your grace,
fills me to the brim
for, when I study and read
Your sufficiency sets in.

With each verse that I tuck,
deep down in my heart
my joy becomes complete
as eternal hope You impart.

I find peace in each Word,
and the promises they hold
for, they satisfy and keep
my heart from growing cold.

The degree of my faith,
can be found on each page
and the amount of my trust
in Your power is my gauge.

The scriptures refresh me,
they bring peace to my soul
and I find true contentment
knowing You are in control!

Matthew 4:4


Be Victorious ~

We can be conquerors,
if to Jesus we run
we can be victorious
if sin we would shun.

We can be contenders,
if our Bible’s we read
we can be champions
if to God’s will we heed.

We can be defenders,
if in afflictions we grow
we can be victors
if the Good Word we sow.

We can be winners,
if we run a faithful race
we can be examples
if we finish with grace.

We can be conquerors,
if we heed to Jesus’ call
we can be role models
if we share His love with all!

“Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors
through him that loved us.”

I Delight In God’s Word

My faith in God keeps growing,
it’s getting sturdier everyday
for, I delight myself in His Word
no matter the time of day.

There is a continuous renewal,
flowing right out of my Bible
daily there’s encouragement
no matter my burden or trial.

The Word of God is nourishment,
it makes me strong day or night
it brings refreshment to my soul
keeping me in the faithful fight.

I can see the fruit of growth,
maturing right inside of me
no matter what season I’m in
I know in God’s Word I need to be.

My faith in God keeps growing,
for day and night I meditate . . .
I delight myself in His Word
when through my Bible I navigate!

“But his delight is in the law
of the Lord;

Good Morning Quote ~ 08.31.25 ~


The True Vine ~

I can do nothing without Christ,
even though He knows I try
for when I try on my own . . .
my fruit so often turns dry.

I may think I can do it,
for my plans seem so right
but, without His assistance . . .
they lack the salt and the light.

There’s not one thing I can do,
that will last or succeed . . .
for without His directions
there is no way to precede.

I may tell myself I don’t need,
any guidance or any aide
but, without Jesus helping me
my fruit just begins to fade.

I can do nothing without Christ,
but, when to His will I resign
I can harvest all of the fruit
right off His one True Vine!

~~~~~~~~

John 15:5

”I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.

Matthew 4:4


Look Up To Jesus ~

Though the nights,
be long and dreary
and your eyes
are red and teary.

Don’t surrender,
to your fear
look to Jesus
for He is near.

Though the days,
be dark as night
and your eyes
can’t see the Light.

Don’t surrender,
to your despair
look to Jesus
for He is there.

Though the way,
may be rough
and your troubles
more than tough.

Don’t surrender,
to your doubt
look to Jesus
for your way out.

Though right now,
you are troubled
and your worries
have but doubled.

Don’t surrender,
to your plight
just keep Jesus . . .
in your sight!

~~~~~~~~~

2 Corinthians 4:17

“For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight
of glory;”

Hebrews 12:2

Looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before
him endured the cross, despising the
shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of God.

Beware My Friends ~

Beware my Christian friends,
satan is gunning after you . . .
putting on the Armor of God
is the first thing you must do.

He’s always a step ahead,
setting up his land mines
his first rule of attack
is to mess with our minds.

He’s waiting in a fox hole,
ready to ambush you
so be sure you’re prepared
with a Scripture or two.

You must be prepared,
you’re always in his range
the rules of combat
everyday he will change.

When things are going good,
it will draw his weapon out
being in the Word of God
will keep away any doubt.

Beware my Christian friends,
you’re not under friendly fire
for your very soul . . .
is satan’s one true desire!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 6:10-11

“Finally, my brethren,
be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.

Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.”
