Now Traveling Light

From Psalm 55:22:  “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved.”

Life’s stumbling footsteps

Sullen heart weighed down

Darkness at doorstep

Day’s final breakdown

 

Burdens never light

Load much too heavy

Collapsing at night

Floodwaters’ levee

 

Spirit’s tiresome tone

Christ walks alongside

Merciful seeds sown

Faith breathing, clear-eyed

 

Shelter’s welcome place

Prayer’s trusted reach

Overflowing grace

Christ’s faithful outreach

 

With every new day

Worry taking flight

Christ’s open gateway

Now traveling light

From Matthew 11:28-30:  “Come to Me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Charles Swindoll Quote

When you worry about what you don’t have, you won’t be able to enjoy what you have.

From Matthew 6:25:  “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear.  Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?”

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

God shall never rest

 

God’s future glory

Becomes our story

Caring, righteous Lord

Trusting His accord

 

Patience encouraged

Waiting with courage

Humbleness fills life

Removing all strife

 

Sowing fertile seeds

Harvest’s bread now feeds

Just think, you’re not here by chance, but by God’s choosing you.  His hand formed you, He made you the person you are.

From Psalm 139:13-14:  “For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.”

Roy Lessin has dedicated his life to Christian ministry.  During his 50 plus years, he has been studying the Bible, sharing its teachings with others, and authoring numerous Christian books.  He is also one of the co-founders of DaySpring Greeting Cards.

Faith’s steady journey

Walking in God’s way

Keeping His decrees

Spirit sings each day

 

Glories of God’s law

Marking path ahead

Embracing His Word

Faithful, daily bread

 

Righteousness leading

Grasping trusted rope

Fixing eyes on God

Faith seals promised hope

 

God remains steadfast

Sharing divine love

Treasuring His flock

Grace flows from above

 

Commandments followed

Running to God’s light

Forgiving man’s sin

Cleansed heart taking flight
