From Psalm 65:5:  “By awesome deeds You answer us with deliverance, O God of our salvation; You are the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.”

Headwaters on mountaintop

Watered from heavens above

Praises from valley below

Earth’s bounty fills with God’s love

 

Holy temple blooms with peace

Sky, earth, seas breathe with God’s grace

Light proclaims deliverance

Salvation for human race

 

Faithful river dries each tear

Troubled seas no longer toss

God answers as He promised

Hope fulfilled on darkest cross

 

Quietness covers each land

Eternity’s Son shall rise

Spirit opens morning sky

God answers with new franchise

From Psalm 65:9:  “You visit the earth and water it; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; You provide the people with grain, for so You have prepared it.”

Something

Browsing life’s sketches

With another day

Searching for patterns

Something waits to say

 

Framing every word

With another thought

Discovering joy

Something ties each knot

 

Tasting sweet moments

With another page

Blending heartfelt dreams

Something comes of age

 

Leaving nest empty

With another flight

Seeking novel themes

Something waits to write

 

Plotting new sketches

With another scene

Finding new patterns

Something stirs, unseen

Every morning I take a few quick minutes to complete a mini crossword puzzle.  The short journey helps to focus the mind on my next task.  Of course, my thoughts may be pulling together a theme for a new writing sketch as a poem or short story.

How do you respond in times of crisis?  When you encounter trouble and distress and don’t know what to do . . . fix your eyes on your mighty God.

From 2 Chronicles 20:12:  “O our God, will You not execute judgment upon them?  For we are powerless against this great multitude that is coming against us.  We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You.”

Crying Out

From Psalm 23:4:  “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff—they comfort me.”

Darkness shields life’s guiding light

Causing worries to take flight

 

Life’s trials, too much to bear

Ask, who really seems to care?

 

World seems to be crashing down

Running dry, emptiness drowns

 

Words and actions, meek and weak

Ask, who shall one run to seek?

 

Vacant wilderness, so dark

Crying out, life’s question mark

 

Heart and soul, feeling hollow

Ask, what voice shall one follow?

 

Voice answers, restoring hopes

Searching from distant slopes

 

Good Shepherd, looking for one

Saving His flock, one by one

From John 10:14-16:  “I am the good shepherd.  I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father.  And I lay down my life for the sheep.  I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold.  I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice.  So there will be one flock, one shepherd.”

From Psalm 85:8-9:  “Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for He will speak peace to His people, to His faithful, to those who turn to Him in their hearts.  Surely His salvation is at hand for those who fear Him, that His glory may dwell in our land.”

Uncertain darkness

Surrounds me this day

Humbly take a knee

Bowing now to pray

 

Prayers calling God

Remain unhurried

Unanswered questions

Never be worried

 

Christ’s teachings feed thee

With the bread of life

This eternal gift

Blessings without strife

 

Lord of life and love

He feeds and frees all

Through His Holy Word

Never builds a wall

 

Allow me to pause

God prods thee along

Hearing His questions

Answers make me strong

 

God everlasting

Faith remains with thee

Through life’s harsh chaos

Calming stormy seas

From Romans 10:10-13:  “ For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved.  The scripture says, ‘No one who believes in Him will be put to shame.’  For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on Him.  For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'”
