From Psalm 37:3-4: “Trust in the Lord and do good; live in the land and enjoy security. Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

Trusting Father’s plans
Accepting His grace
Breathing in wisdom
Worry no longer gives chase
Taking faithful steps
Embracing His ways
Walking with Father
His patience teaches each day
Lending mercy’s peace
Expressing His love
Filling heart with hope
Father’s joy breathes from above
Leaving sinful flesh
Departing from night
Honoring Father
His righteousness leads with light
Sowing truthful seeds
Viewing empty tomb
Trusting risen Christ
Redemption’s fruits fully bloom

From Psalm 37:29: “The righteous shall inherit the land and live in it forever.”

Soothing chocolate
Smothered with sweet marshmallows—
Another heart warmed

Freshly baked cookies
Smelling every sweet morsel—
Cannot eat just one

Coffee cup’s corner
Another fresh brew to taste—
Now, which one to choose?

Habit is the deepest law of human nature.
One monster there is in the world, the idle man.

From 2 Corinthians 11:13-14: “For such boasters are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.”

Facing life’s harshest trials
Walking uphill in shadows
Keeping on the proper trail
Coveting greener meadows
Suffering darkest ordeals
Praying for divine advice
Listening for God’s response
Willing to pay any price
Hiding off the path, waiting
Offering cunning, false hope
Sliding into Satan’s net
Reaching up for rescue’s rope
Clutching God’s forgiving hand
Leaving the enemy’s grip
Finding new life with the Lord
Walking in His fellowship

From Romans 6:22-23: “But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
