Challenges overwhelm

Accidents, poor health

Seeking God’s divine grace

His healing power

Come to gracious Father

Binding up these wounds

Through abundant mercy

Life restored again

Road of recovery

God strengthens, blesses

Built upon living Word

Peace offers comfort

Healing brokenhearted

Buoyant life returns

Praise Father’s compassion

Trust His mighty hand

Life filled with confidence

Praying back to God

Thankfulness to Father

His mercies abound

From Psalm 147:7: “Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre.”

Troubles we bear truthfully can bring us a fresh vision of God and a new outlook on life–an outlook of peace and hope.

From Isaiah 40:28-29: “Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless.”

Daniel Webster Quote

Keep cool; anger is not an argument.

From Proverbs 22:24-25: “Make no friends with those given to anger, and do not associate with hotheads, or you may learn their ways and entangle yourself in a snare.”

Daniel Webster (1782-1852) was one of America’s greatest orators and statesmen. He served in the United States Congress for 18 years as well being Secretary of State under three different Presidents.

As long as a person keeps his faith in God and in himself, nothing can permanently defeat him.

From Proverbs 24:16: “For though they fall seven times, they will rise again; but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.”

God’s Presence

Posted on March 30, 2022 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 19:1: “The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims His handiwork.”

Witnessing God’s presence

Singing of His glory

Creation shouts with joy

Reading Bible’s story

Declaring His knowledge

Forming this earthly place

Father’s ageless Word speaks

Filling eternal grace

Blessing heavens above

Seeing Creator’s hand

God’s perfect plan at work

Spanning across this land

Soaring with each sunrise

Praising from empty tomb

Son of God defeats death

Breathing faith, now in bloom

Lasting Word from God’s heart

Covering creation

Blessed rock and refuge

Forming life’s foundation

From Psalm 19:14: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”

All the persons of faith I know are sinners, doubters, uneven performers. We are secure not because we are sure of ourselves but because we trust that God is sure of us.

From Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping-stone. Close the door on the past.

From Proverbs 13:21: “Misfortune pursues sinners, but prosperity rewards the righteous.”

New Hope

Posted on March 27, 2022 by bigskybuckeye

From 1 Corinthians 6:11: “And this is what some of you used to be. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”

Witnessing renewing birth

Receiving Gospel’s new hope

Living through Christ on this earth

Grace flows down slippery slope

Leaving former sinful ways

Washing us clean with new hope

Walking in God’s trust each day

Resurrection’s firm tightrope

Raising up Christ, sin’s payoff

Blessings of faith fill new hope

Anchoring light, hell casts off

Holy Spirit, life’s tow rope

Sharing His goodness and grace

Sensing Christ fueling new hope

Grasping life’s new, righteous place

God justifies Glory’s scope

From 1 Peter 1:3: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By His great mercy He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”

Few acts have a greater impact on those who mistrust us and abuse us than our telling them we forgive them, and we are asking God to forgive them too.

From 1 Peter 4:8: “Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.”
