Accepting life’s ongoing gifts

Filling wonder, never adrift

 

Marveling at heavens above

Inspiring vastness of God’s love

 

Walking in righteousness with God

Comforted by His love, unflawed

 

Looking ahead, with peace and hope

Holding tightly to God’s firm rope

 

Treating others with words which say

Sharing compassion’s rich bouquet

 

Gathering strength for life’s travels

Trusting God, nothing unravels

 

Listening to deepest feelings

Surveying each moment’s healing

 

Receiving mid-course corrections

Hearing God’s faithful directions

 

Sailing in darkness, never cursed

Navigating by God, headfirst

 

Achieving goals, each passing day

Tasting our Lord’s hope-filled buffet

 

Tackling challenges without fear

Taking risks, with God set to steer

 

Stepping forward beyond life’s dreams

Following each path as God deems

From 1 Corinthians 10:16:  “The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ?  The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?”

With God’s help, we can cultivate our thoughts, pulling up weeds and planting the fertile soil of His Word.

From Colossians 2:6-7:  “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”

David Jeremiah (born 1941) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Embracing Savior’s peace

Heart replenished with grace

Walking with dignity

Words employing Christ’s love

Reaching to Heaven’s hands

Mediator above

 

Persevering to pray

Christ’s Holy presence felt

Encouraging boldness

Every word be heartfelt

 

Trusting always Christ’s light

Believer’s truthful way

Following Good Shepherd

Called now to simply pray

 

Sharing faith’s compassion

With everyone in need

Sowing Savior’s witness

Hope fulfilled with each seed

Hardship forces us to grab hands with one another and pull up closer together.

From Philippians 2:17-18:  “But even if I am being poured out as a libation over the sacrifice and the service of your faith, I rejoice, and I rejoice together with all of you; in the same way also you should rejoice and rejoice together with me.”

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

Scottie Scheffler Quote

I love the challenge.  It’s one of the greatest joys of my life, but does it fill the deepest wants and desires of my heart?  Absolutely not.

From Ecclesiastes 2:11:  “Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had spent in doing it, and again, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.”

Scottie Scheffler (born 1996) is an American professional golfer.  He has often given testaments that his Christian faith is more important than his golf career.  This quote came from an interview with Scheffler.
