You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
Love is the most durable power in the world. This creative force is the most potent instrument available in mankind’s quest for peace and security.
From Psalm 119:97-98: “Oh, how I love your law! It is my meditation all day long. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is always with me.”
Eternal Lord in Heaven
Our faithfulness flows from Him
God’s Word pilots creation
Through time’s ages, never dim
Evil prowling in darkness
Waiting to maim and uproot
God’s love, lasting protection
His grace lighting life’s new route
Accepting God’s Holy law
Life filling with His delight
Marching with our conviction
Saved from misery’s dark night
Reading daily from Scripture
In His Word, Lord shall converse
Living with Father’s wisdom
Love every single verse
Father’s Word always teaches
Guiding life’s faithful mindset
Lives led by His commandments
Follow now, never forget
From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: “We need godly knowledge and principles to guide us, which is why we must make meditation on the Word a daily habit.”
Divine love is perfect peace and joy, it is a freedom from all disquiet, it is all content and happiness; and makes everything to rejoice in itself.
From 2 Peter 1:4-7: “Thus He has given us, through these things, His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and may become participants of the divine nature. For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.”
From Psalm 98:5-6: “Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody. With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.”
With joy, singing life’s new song
Lifting up voices, filled with praise
Hailing Father’s steadfast love
Let our eyes to Heaven gaze
Our Lord does marvelous things
Victorious in His deeds
Judging world with righteousness
Tirelessly His Spirit leads
Earth’s faithful hearts shall rejoice
Accepting His love and grace
Forever praise God’s presence
Darkness, never will we chase
Ageless joy recites God’s Word
Life’s solid foothold responds
Promises backed up by trust
Faith, hope, love form lasting bonds
Guide every daily step
Reigning from Heaven above
With Son and Holy Spirit
From God comes lasting love
From Psalm 98:7-8: “Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who live in it. Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy.”
You’ve got to say yes to this miracle of life as it is, not on the condition that it follows your rules.
At the darkest moment comes the light.
Holy Spirit breathes
Navigating Christian faith—
Feeling His presence
Saved through Christ Jesus
According to His Spirit—
Transforming new life
Children led by God
Tasting adoption’s Spirit
Heirs of Lord and Christ
Many Christians today are trying to find a shortcut to a closer relationship with the Father. But intimacy takes times and effort; knowing God better is a lifelong pursuit.
From Psalm 63:5-7: “My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast, and my mouth praises you with joyful lips when I think of you on my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy.”
Proud of my memory with its endless perfection
My impeccable recall never needs any correction
As a small child from many years ago
My memories remain vivid, this I know
My family stands astonished and amazed
While my data files work through a maze
I remember many, many things from my past
Hoping that these remarkable powers will last
Many beautiful memories organized to be found
I am thrilled by a brain that is sharp and sound
Sometimes my mind feels like an encyclopedia
Please don’t ever challenge me with Wikipedia
God has blessed me with an awesome mind
As for my car keys . . . please help me find?
Follow your heart and take a chance that you’ll be wrong.
Admire other people’s beauty and talent without questioning your own.
From Romans 8:38-39: “For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Burdened with sin-filling guilt
Questions about salvation
Worn down, feeling overwhelmed
Life struggling with temptation
Surrounded by sin’s gloom and doom
Meager actions not enough
Salvation ignores life’s works
Grace shining through evil’s bluff
Remember God’s faithful truths
Choosing us, always with us
Spirit marks each with new life
His love, hope’s guaranteed plus
Father’s Word holding us fast
Always our righteous anchor
Steadies weary, stumbling steps
Answers doubts, quiets rancor
Jesus pays our debts in full
Forgiven, transformed, renewed
According to His mercy
Taking our place, flesh subdued
From Titus 3:4-5: “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”
