Creator’s Spirit

From Genesis 1:1-3:  “When God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was complete chaos, and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.  Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

Stillness of another day

Creator’s spirit thrives

Composing eloquent song

Gentleness arrives

 

Morning’s sun always arrives

Creator’s love surrounds

Flowing with eternal peace

Harmony’s background

 

Wilderness coming alive

Creator’s welcome breath

Fathering tomorrow’s hope

Life renews from death

 

Nature’s intimate whispers

Creator’s rhythmic beat

Offering eternal joy

Love where rivers meet

 

Daylight replaces nightfall

Creator’s timeless clock

Aligning earth with heavens

Spirit’s key unlocks

From John 1:1-3:  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being.”

God specializes in turning the mundane into the meaningful.  Whether you see Him or not, He is at work in your life as this very moment.

From Zepaniah 3:17:  “The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will renew you in His love; He will exult over you with loud singing as on a day of festival.”

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

Monday Memories: Pleasing to God

From Proverbs 13:7:  “Some pretend to be rich, yet have nothing; others pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.”

Living a life, pleasing only to self

Ignoring God, leaving Him on a shelf

 

Competitive world, craving ambition

Pleasing to God, never this life’s mission

 

High expectations, demanding more time

Living the dream, seeking ladders to climb

 

Mankind commands, chasing full-time career

Pleasing to God, never happens this year

 

Targets set higher, with each passing week

Hustling to scale, another highest peak

 

Life fills with emptiness, something amiss

Pleasing to God, change focus . . . lasting bliss

 

God lights the way, spiritual journey

Coming to Him, forgo the attorney

 

Heart and mind, accept Father’s deepest love

Pleasing to God, eyes now find Him above

 

Daily meditation, filled with God’s Word

Rejoicing in His truth, no longer blurred

 

Priorities flip, following the Lord’s light

Pleasing to God, faithful voyage takes flight

From Ephesians 5:8-10:  “For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light–for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true.  Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord.”

Everything should be made as simple as possible.

From Philippians 4:8:  “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

With each morning sunrise

Lifting eyes to heavens above

Praise every blessing

Embracing Savior’s love

 

With each tribulation

Embracing Father’s grace above

Praise every blessing

Breathing from depths of His love

 

With challenges ahead

Breathing from ever tranquil seas

Praise every blessing

Taking steps to be free

 

With each evening sunset

Taking control of endless seas

Praise every blessing

Walking with Christ, now free

From the words of American pastor and Christian author, Charles Swindoll:  “Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.”
