We live our lives under the careful, loving, gracious, albeit sovereign, hand of our God.  And the movements of time and history tick off according to His reckoning, exactly as He ordained.

From Psalm 31:14-15:  “But I trust in You, O Lord; I say, ‘You are my God.’  My times are in Your hand.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Night’s Retreat

Sunset riding west

Daytime closes eyes

Darkness offers rest

Waiting for sunrise

 

As curtain lowers

Behold heavens’ stars

Pages turn slower

Dreaming from afar

 

Silence deepens breath

Moonlight’s fullness glows

Sleeping finding delight

Sailing each rainbow

 

Rhythm finds restart

Troubles take backseat

Calmness filling heart

Shaping night’s retreat

Devoted to Father

Hearing His endless thoughts

Witnessing heavenly goodness

Life’s lessons always taught

 

Filled with Father’s steadfast spirit

Trusting His timely grace

Lifting wayward heart from darkness

Love offers mercy’s place

 

Called to walk in Father’s vision

Turning away from sin

Answering each burden’s prayer

Faith’s glorious linchpin

 

Delivered light shines upon thee

Words filling confession

Lifting soul from forgotten place

Forgiving transgressions

 

Comforted with Father’s favor

Rising from empty tomb

Sowing with every seeded field

Peace gathered from each bloom
