From Psalm 118:24:  “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

The main inspiration for this poem comes from the hymn “On Our Way Rejoicing.”  Enjoy singing along!

There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.

From Psalm 100:4-5:  “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise.  Give thanks to Him, bless His name.  For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.”

Infectiously joyful believers have no trouble convincing people around them that Christianity is real and that Christ can transform a life.

From Philippians 4:4-5:  “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.  Let your gentleness be known to everyone.  The Lord is near.”

Lofty heavens proclaiming

God’s awesome, mighty glory

Creation’s lasting showcase

His handiwork, our story

 

From day to day, night to night

Our Lord’s knowledge powers forth

His Spirit sustaining life

Praising His glory, henceforth

 

Covering soaring heavens

Faithful sunrise to sunset

Life manifests on this earth

Walking within God’s mindset

 

Nothing hidden from God’s eyes

Realm filled with wisdom and truth

His law always runs perfect

Commandments shout with pure truth

 

Coming forward, fear our Lord

Following Holy decrees

More precious than finest gold

Sweeter than honey, shall please

From Psalm 19:13:  “Keep back your servant also from proud thoughts; do not let them have dominion over me.  Then I shall be blameless, and innocent of great transgression.

Life Well Lived

Seasoned with many years

This ancient man delights

Very little he fears

Life tastes humble highlights

 

Living alone these days

Outliving many friends

Memories still ablaze

Through color-filled zoom lens

 

Nearly century old

Blessed career long gone

Bride’s love never grows cold

Still waking up at dawn

 

Sits at kitchen table

Daily Bible reading

Praying through God’s cable

Lord’s “Bread of Life” feeding

 

Walking at nearby park

Bench invites him to sit

Lifetime’s blossoming spark

Dreaming shall never quit

 

Parked at life’s interchange

Lifetime’s poetry writes

Witnessing time’s changes

Faith and love holding tight

The life we create is useful to God only if it is consistent with Jesus Christ’s foundation.

From 1 Corinthians 3:10-11:  “According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it.  Each builder must choose with care how to build on it.  For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ.”

Praying for His guidance

Needing our Lord each day

Kneeling in humbleness

Love answers with His way

 

Troubles overtake thee

Confessing now to Him

Finding peace in Jesus

Blessings fill saintly hymns

 

Taste and see, God is good

Life’s every heartbeat

Casts temptation aside

Walking to His drumbeat

 

Departing from evil’s sin

Each day, every hour

Come, listen to Father

Grace fuels mighty power

 

Calvary’s cross beckons

Love’s road to salvation

Empty tomb proclaiming

Life’s faithful foundation

This poem’s message of “Holy Deliverance” is intensely felt through the singing of Chris Tomlin in “Lord, I Need You.”

Though I have walked with God for several decades, I must confess I still find much about Him incomprehensible and mysterious.  But this much I know:  He delights in surprising us.  He dots our pilgrimage from earth to heaven with amazing serendipities.  

From Psalm 145:16:  “You open your hand, satisfying the desire of every living thing.”
