That Good Thing

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.

– Jeremiah 33:14-16 KJV

Gifts 2017 #14 Surprises

Christmas Countdown: Surprises are a GIFT: While not all surprises are good, there are many that are such a gift, and can lift one’s spirit. The Lord has sent me many surprises, some of which were so delightful, even more so by the element of being completely unexpected! Thank you, Lord, for Your surprises. Please bless those who bless me, especially YOU, Lord!! ❤

Gifts 2017 #6 Patience

Christmas Countdown: Patience is a GIFT: If anyone knows patience, it is the Lord. He is patient with me, despite repeated disappointment. If anyone can give patience, it is the Lord. By his grace, I can do all things through Christ! He doesn’t give up on me which helps me not to give up. Praise his Holy and Patient name! ❤

 

While We Lament

Cry, cry, cry,
while we ask why.
Blaming the Lord
for what’s in store.
Yet Jeremiah reminds
of the truth he finds
that despite we transgress,
we are blessed
that God does not consume us.
Instead, He sent Jesus.
His compassions fail not.
He’s a great and faithful God.
Every morning He renews
with His good news.
So why, why, why
do we still cry?
Do we not yet see
His love and mercy?

That I Might Stay True

Lord, as I read of your people
and hear their many struggles of obeying,
I want to avoid jumping to judging,
and sincerely begin praying.
Please help me to keep my eyes,
mind, heart, soul, and all on You.
Help me to never take Your glory,
even if I didn’t mean to.
Keep me faithful, pure, and just,
that my holiness glorifies You.
Help me to resist society
that I might stay true.
Finally, Lord, I pray You stay
and never have reason to turn.
I really don’t want any more
ungodly lessons to learn.

Great and Mighty

Great and mighty is the Lord our God.
Worthy and honorable is the great JAH.
Our tongues and voices should never cease
to praise the God of eternal peace.
He created our bodies and souls.
He created the world which He controls.
He gives us mercy and shares grace.
He sent His only Son to save.
He resurrected His precious Son
to send to us the Holy One.
The Holy Ghost comforts us,
all because of the blood of Jesus.
How great God is to share so much
and all because of perfect love.
Sing ye people, sing of earth!
Sing of God and His mighty worth!
