In almost everything that teaches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we’re pleased.  He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker’s praise without anxiety.

From Isaiah 43:1-2:  “But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel:  Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine.  When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.“

Aiden Wilson (A. W.) Tozer (1897-1963) was an American pastor and Christian author.  He served as spiritual mentor for many Christians.

Monday Memories: Evening with Family

Sun sets on another day

Evening calls, wanting its way

 

Family gathers around

Home now, love and peace abound

 

Night sky envelopes the land

Stillness breathes on high command

 

Supper cooking, hunger calls

Mom’s spaghetti and meatballs

 

All hands on deck, helping mom

Frenzy soon returns to calm

 

Television calling out

Favorite show brings a shout

 

Mom crochets, sitting nearby

Dad reads book, about Shanghai

 

Final chores, homework to do

Soon slumber stirs up its brew

 

Before the last light goes out

Prayers praise God, so devout

Time is such a precious commodity.  With God’s encouragement, may our own use of it bring Him glory.

Monday Memories: Ultimate Grace

From Romans 5:1-2:  “Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.”

Our sinful nature

Takes Christ to the Cross

God responds with love

Grace reaches across

 

Jesus defeats death

Living cornerstone

Sacred salvation

Grace comes to atone

 

Father’s gift of life

Receive daily bread

Through our faith alone

Grace walking ahead

 

Christ teaches of love

Shares His peace of mind

Hearts and minds now cleansed

Grace saving mankind

 

Never fear again

Look forward to peace

Fate sealed with God’s love

Grace, life’s Holy lease

From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley:  “When facing painful trials, we may be tempted to doubt God’s love for us.  Remember that God orchestrated the greatest demonstration of love possible–His Son’s death on the cross.”

Be the light in someone’s darkness.

From John 1:2-5:  “He was in the beginning with God.  All things came into being through Him, and without Him not one thing came into being.  What has come into being in Him was life, and the life was the light of all people.”

Joy’s Heavenly Place

From Philippians 3:14:  “I press on toward the goal, toward the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Journey through darkness

Consumed by fire of sin

Filled with desires of flesh

Bound for hell’s tailspin

 

Enemy’s false words

Promises unfulfilled

Confidence now waning

Whisper of hope killed

 

Shepherd’s gate opens

Calvary’s light beholds

Kneel now, accept His grace

Heaven’s path unfolds

 

Flesh left in darkness

Repentance of past ways

Leaving sin’s wilderness

Faith in Christ each day

 

Lord’s grace accepted

Covered with Father’s love

Savoring hope’s reward

Glory from above

 

Holding fast in trust

Faithful, transforming pace

Redemption forever

Joy’s heavenly place
