You may as well quit reading and hearing the Word of God and give it to the Devil if you do not desire to live according to it.

Seeking God’s Wisdom
Photo by John-Mark Smith on Pexels.com
The text used for this poem is based upon Proverbs Chapter 10, with the 10th verse taking center stage: “The wise lay up knowledge, but the babbling of a fool brings ruin.”
Seeks God’s wisdom
His words bring wealth
A benevolent father
Welcomes a wise child
Virtue always delivers
Never going hungry
The judicious of heart
Follows the Commandments
Always walks in integrity
Makes for a secure life
Boldly calls out trouble
Brings peace to life
Use righteous words
Builds a fountain of life
Hate stirs up trouble
Love heals our offenses
Craves absorbing wisdom
Ignores a blathering fool
Leads an honorable life
Shuns sinful behaviors
Be prudent when speaking
Uses a blameless tongue
Seeks the Lord’s blessings
Comes in reverent prayer
Follows our heavenly Father
His stronghold protects us

Be filled with the Holy Spirit; join a church where the members believe the Bible and know the Lord; seek the fellowship of other Christians; learn and be nourished by God’s Word and His many promises. Conversion is not the end of your journey–it is only the beginning.

Integrity is the glue that holds our way of life together. We must constantly strive to keep our integrity intact. When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost; all is lost.
From Titus 2:7-8: “Show yourself in all respects a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, gravity, and sound speech that cannot be censured; then any opponent will be put to shame, having nothing evil to say of us.”

The beautiful thing about this adventure called faith is that we count on Him never to lead us astray. He knows exactly where He’s taking us. Our job is to obey.

Christ is the sun, and all the watches of our lives should be set by the dial of His motion.
Renewing Rain

From Isaiah 45:8: “Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation may spring up, and let it cause righteousness t sprout up also; I the Lord have created it.”
Rain showers continuously hydrate the lands
Sending restoring moisture from God’s hands
Perhaps God’s design will deliver to rinse off me
Washing away transgressions that affix on thee
Flowers, grass, and trees experience joy now
Smiling as additional raindrops take their bow
This errant life feels God’s restoring spirit of the rain
Helping me to reconcile and move away from pain
The clouds hang low, soon rain comes again
Witnessing Christ’s love, forgiving all our sin
Temperatures remain cool, clouds shroud the light
Feeling God’s lasting affection, realizing His might
My disposition cools, harsh feelings evaporate
Praying to my Lord, as the darkness grows late
God continually watches over His creation
Looking down from above, smiles of elation
For me, a blood-stained cross forever stands near
Thanking Jesus for bringing Salvation, without fear
Nature comes alive as the rains abate
Growing with God’s love, will be its fate
An imperfect man such as me, steps from sin’s shadows
Kneeling before God, forgiven for my disobedient travels

Sometimes your medicine bottle says, “Shake well before using.” That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are usable.
Sometimes . . .

Sometimes . . .
A heart and soul experience nothing but emptiness
Searching for a life overflowing with more happiness
Family and friends stop over, sharing bushels of love
Extending God’s righteousness, working from above
Sometimes . . .
A body no longer feels as young as it once was
Declining, outdated, and ancient, just because
Changes in a lifestyle produce renewal of life
Experiencing energy again, without the strife
Sometimes . . .
The day fills with shadows of darkness, without light
Questioning why this life no longer continues to fight
Next day’s sunrise brings a sustaining change
Illuminating the way, because God is His name
Sometimes . . .
This job generates nothing, only constant distress
Feeling passed over by others who perform less
Then one day, opportunity knocks at the door
Receiving that promotion, evens up the score
Sometimes . . .
Life feels like walking the treadmill all day
Ending out of breath, with nothing to say
Faithfulness enters a heart with a new intention
Accepting God’s grace, a total transformation
When life brings us challenges, our faith is sometimes challenged. We just need to remember that our God is a righteous and faithful one filled with immense love and thanksgiving.
Here are some previously published poems that explore a variety of life’s challenges. May we always remain faithful towards our Lord.
God’s Masterpiece
From Isaiah 65:17: “For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind.”

From the beginning of time
God’s creation changes each day
This eternal blueprint conveys mastery
His design takes center stage
His earthly canvas presents wonder
Artistic palette of colors astonish
His imaginative mind never ceases
Earth’s treasures continue to impress
Traveling around this awesome planet
Breathtaking venues await our call
Majestic mountains loom high above
Immense beauty reaches the clouds
Rolling plains shine with beauty
Grasslands thick with green tapestry
Swift rivers travel for months
Mountain-fed water reaches blue seas
Dense forests blanket the terrain
Trees of every description stand
Endless oceans bombard distant shores
Continuous tides frolic with beaches
Wide canyons stretch above rivers
Featuring amazing sculptures and hue
Desert sands infinitely scatter themselves
Continually sifting from God-inspired winds
Days launch with illuminating sunrises
Nights commence when the moon rises
God continues molding and shaping
Praise His incredible creation forevermore
