Searching for God’s Kingdom

Life held back, born of flesh

Restrained by sinful chains

Spirit comes to refresh

Earthbound, God’s grace arrives

Breathing as Son of Man

Eternity opens

Laying out divine plan

Being born from above

God’s Word descends with Light

Son’s faith, unselfish love

Spirit’s mercy takes flight

Believing in Savior

Accepting grace of God

Spirit’s destiny breathes

Trinity, God’s tripod

From Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

No one needs to tell you that these are very troubling times; however, the Word of God can give us assurance for a hope and a future, even in a troubled world.

From 2 Timothy 3:1-2: “You must understand this, that in the last days distressing times will come. For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy.”

Jack Wellman is an American pastor and Christian author.

Listen in Silence

Posted on January 15, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

From Isaiah 41:1: “Listen to Me in silence, O coastlands; let the peoples renew their strength; let them approach, then let them speak; let us together draw near for judgment.”

Daily life racing ahead

Bearing with its constant noise

Searching for journey’s beachhead

Father’s mercy transmits poise

Listen in silence, God speaks

Hearing His comforting voice

Quieting peace, each heart seeks

Father calms, let man rejoice

Heaven breathes, stillness exhales

Shining His light, never fear

Leaving dark, wilderness trails

Father leading, always near

Schedule time, only for God

Drawing near, learning His way

Transforming sinful facade

Father’s blessed Word, let’s pray

American writer Madeleine L’Engle captures the essence of meaning found in this poem with these words: “Deepest communion with God is beyond words, on the other side of silence.”

Trusting God is not by what you read or know. It is by doing what you have learned from His Word, Bible.

From James 1:22-25: “But be doers of the word and not merely hearers who deceive themselves. For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like. But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers who act—they will be blessed in their doing.”

From Proverbs 3:26: “For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.”

This early morning time

Brings moments of praise

Spirits gather to climb

Warmed by the sun’s rays

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

Another day appears ready

Feet will not stumble

God’s Word marches steady

Never afraid to tumble

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

For the humble receive

God’s favor and love

Avoid those who deceive

Look to Heaven above

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

Arise, prepared for the Lord

He’s endlessly in control

Arming all with His sword

Leading us out on patrol

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

This morn sings a song

Filling with God’s praises

One cannot be wrong

With Salvation, He raises

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

Nourish us right now

God’s manna is ready

Take a knee and bow

He keeps us steady

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

Our day comes alive

From God’s trusting light

Allowing us to thrive

‘Til day becomes night

God’s Word arrives at dawn

Always full, never gone

Saint Augustine Quote

Posted on November 11, 2022 by bigskybuckeye

I love you, Lord, not doubtingly, but with absolute certainty. Your Word beat upon my heart until I fell in love with you, and now the universe and everything in it tells me to love you.

From Ephesians 1:3-4: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as He chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him in love.”

Warren Wiersbe Quote

Posted on October 13, 2022 by bigskybuckeye

Bible history is filled with people who began the race with great success but failed at the end because they disregarded God’s rules.

From Proverbs 13:13: “Those who despise a word bring destruction on themselves, but those who respect a command will be rewarded.”
