Tomorrow Shall Come

Posted on January 26, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 30:4-5: “Sing praises to the Lord, O you His faithful ones, and give thanks to His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Trials of darkness

Arriving today

Feeling faith challenged

Hope slipping away

Another mountain

Blocking path of peace

Taking Father’s road

Trust builds, piece by piece

Truth comes each sunrise

Breathing with His love

Delivering hope

Joy fed from above

Heart’s rainbow brightens

Finding peace from light

Refilling faith’s cup

Mercy taking flight

Father’s promised grace

Gathering each crumb

Leading to Jesus

Tomorrow shall come

From Psalm 30:11-12: “You have turned my mourning into dancing; You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my soul may praise You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.

D. L. Moody Quote

Posted on January 8, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

From Psalm 18:2: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

D. L. Moody (1837-1899), also known as Dwight Lyman Moody, was an American evangelist and Christian teacher. He is frequently credited with inspiring modern mass revivalism.

Facing journey’s many troubles

Wilderness darkness creeping in

Praying to heavens high above

God’s unshaken love, faith’s linchpin

Praising God for enduring grace

Thirsty hunger, now quenched and fed

Sharing thanks for every sunrise

Faith nourished with His daily bread

Witnessing God’s benevolence

His wondrous works shall never end

Turning deserts into rivers

Faithful courage shall now defend

Breaking free from sin’s chains of gloom

Salvation descends from heavens

Shattering enemy’s falsehoods

Taste of freedom, blessed with leaven

Redeeming from journey’s troubles

God’s mercy delivers His light

Covering landscape with His peace

Darkness gives up her final fight

From Psalm 107:8-9: “Let them thank the Lord for His steadfast love, for His wonderful works to humankind. For He satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry He fills with good things.”

John Owen Quote

Posted on October 11, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

There is no way of deliverance from the state and condition of being in the flesh, but by the Spirit of Christ.

From Romans 8:3-4: “For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and to deal with sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”

John Owen (1616-1683) was an English Puritan church leader and theologian.

From John 4:23-24: “But the hour is coming and is now here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Wilderness travels

Darkness trembles, taking flight

Father always with thee

Witnessing Savior’s light

Mayhem’s daily noise

Stepping away, seeking peace

Father delivers truth

Savior transforms faith’s lease

Hope flowing with joy

Aligning with Spirit’s heart

Father’s eternal love

Savior’s breath brings fresh start

Cross proclaims mercy

Paying for every debt owed

Father’s unselfish grace

His love paves Savior’s road

Righteousness feeds faith

Bearing Spirit’s timely fruits

Savior nurtures each root

Saint Augustine Quote

Posted on September 22, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

He who is filled with love is filled with God himself.

From Psalm 18:1-2: “I love you, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
