Adversity is always unexpected and unwelcomed. It is an intruder and a thief, and yet in the hands of God, adversity becomes the means through which His supernatural power is demonstrated.
From 1 John 5:3-5: “ For the love of God is this, that we obey His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”
Always Our Friend
This poem is inspired by a favorite hymn of many, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.”

Living weak in character
Laying at the Cross, past torts
Jesus, always our friend
Hearing our troubling reports
Stepping humbly to our Lord
Dumping these tribulations
Jesus, always through His love
Building our life’s foundation
Facing polarizing darkness
Bearing pain, feeling alone
Jesus waits, always trusting
Welcoming us to His own
Taking us, lifting us up
Rescuing us from sin’s shame
Jesus, always rebuilds faith
Saving through His Father’s name

Be patient. God is using today’s difficulties to strengthen you for tomorrow. He is equipping you. The God who makes things grow will help you bear fruit.
From Ephesians 1:11-12: “In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of Him who accomplishes all things according to His counsel and will, so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of His glory.”

God makes us broken bread and poured-out wine to please Himself. To be separated unto the Gospel means to hear the call of God.
From 1 Corinthians 9:16: “If I proclaim the Gospel, this gives me no ground for boasting, for an obligation is laid on me, and woe to me if I do not proclaim the Gospel!”

Embracing Our Golden Years

Watching television, what is so wrong?
Proclaiming vitality, glowing youth
Idolizing outward beauty and more
Turning down the chatter, looking for truth
Savoring this life’s fertile, golden years
Knocking at the door, God’s Word always clear
Finding our inner beauty, filled with love
Embracing the later years, without fear
Assuring us of our Lord’s divine plan
Receiving far more than we can afford
Propelling us forward, with Jesus near
Guiding our daily walk, by His accord
Gaining beauty from our relationships
Discovering family love each day
Restoring our energy with these gifts
Growing closer to our Lord as we pray
Sharing our wisdom and experience
Bringing opportunities, we also grow
Living as role models in God’s spirit
Opening new pages, as blessings flow

Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
From 2 Corinthians 9:6: “The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”

You must ask for God’s help. After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again.
From Psalm 111:10: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.”
