Faith in Christ

From Matthew 14:25-27:  “And early in the morning He came walking toward them on the sea.  But when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’  And they cried out in fear.  But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.'”

Facing life’s darkest times

Tempest sweeping over thee

Hiding from storm’s anger

Light’s shadow approaching thee

 

Fearing who comes forward

His tenderness touches thee

Rising from death’s darkness

His body’s blood saving thee

 

Recognizing Jesus

His hand reaches out to thee

Quieting surging tides

Joy now rushes upon thee

 

Hearing His faithful voice

Savior’s grace now covers thee

Forgiving life’s missteps

Redemption now awaits thee

 

Witnessing faith in Christ

Eternal love surrounds thee

Securing hope with peace

Tomorrow brightens for thee

From Matthew 14:28-30:  “Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to You on the water.’  He said, ‘Come.’  So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus.”

Our faith opens up a road with only one choice.  Embrace the light found in Jesus and leave behind those who accept walking in darkness.

Remember, ultimately we are not submitting to human authority but to divine authority.

Sometimes during a Montana spring, the prairie’s flowers seem invisible . . . covered under a blanket of snow.

Mighty Deeds

From Psalm 77:14:  “You are the God who works wonders; You have displayed Your might among the peoples.”

In days of trouble

Enemy’s darkness flees

Hearing heavens’ thunder

Father’s grace, always free

 

In midst of trials

Trusted light shall arrive

Feeling comforting peace

Father’s passion alive

 

In deepest abyss

Hopeless, yet not alone

Reaching for mercy’s hand

Father’s mighty deeds sown

 

One more miracle

Absent of His footprints

Transforming with wonders

Father’s breath offers hint

 

Another sunrise

Joy found in heaven’s love

Restoring fragile health

Father’s touch from above
