Working through each of us
Nurturing Word of God
Building up each neighbor
Sharing love of Jesus
Calling each believer
Stepping into life’s void
Following Spirit’s lead
Willing to share burdens
Observing their struggles

Welcoming thy neighbor
Living in harmony
Thriving to gather time
Helping hands step forward
Making a difference
Walking in Christ’s footprints
Accepting each other
Teaching from Father’s Word
Comforting and helping
Showing love to neighbors
From Galatians 5:14: “For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'”
To hunger and thirst after righteousness is when nothing in the world can fascinate us so much as being near God.
From Hebrews 11:1-3: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.”
From Psalm 97:10-11: “You who love the Lord, hate evil; He guards the lives of His faithful; He rescues them from the hand of the wicked. Light dawns for the righteous and joy for the upright in heart.”
Surrounding darkness
Evil’s world abounds
Life’s hesitation
Sinful, barking sounds
Playing with evil
Like kitchen’s hot stove
Waiting to burn us
Consuming faith’s grove
Hearing Father’s Word
Explicit warning
Hate evil, love God
Righteous good morning
Evil’s deception
Ignore its calling
Turning from darkness
Sinful flesh falling
Life’s new page opens
His goodness unfolds
Sprinting to daylight
Safe in God’s stronghold
From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: “When we learn to hate evil, we learn to love what God loves.”
From Psalm 25:4-5: “Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all day long.”

Accepting divine grace
Holding us together
Leading to heaven’s place
From Psalm 25:20-21: “O guard my life, and deliver me; do not let me be put to shame, for I take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for you.”
God’s voice isn’t all that difficult to hear. It’s right there, ink on paper. Count on it–that book will never lead you astray.
From Psalm 38:15: “But it is for you, O Lord, that I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.”
Reading, studying, and applying the Word may require sacrifices, but the reward of knowing your Savior better and living a life pleasing to God is worth it.
From Psalm 119:33-34: “Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes, and I will observe it to the end. Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.”
From Joshua 1:9: “I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Man’s human nature
Wrestling with new fears
Breathing with unease
Darkening frontiers
Fear all consuming
Racing with flurry
Suffocating breath
Heartbreaking worry
Root of lasting doubt
Distrusting our God
Overlooking grace
Hiding, sin’s facade
Strength walks with courage
Turning to God’s Word
Following His law
Trusting faith’s watchword
Scripture holding fast
Anchoring with peace
Receiving Lord’s love
Blessing life’s new lease
Christ’s moral compass
Shepherding with grace
Walking in His trust
Slowing down life’s race
From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley: “To conquer our fears, we should identify them but then focus instead of God and Scripture.”
From Romans 10:12-13: “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call Him. For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'”

Sitting here on a quiet, morning dawn
Drinking coffee, warming a drowsy mind
Passing the time with memories, all wrong
Looking for warmhearted hopes, none to find
Wishing countless troubles would go away
Thinking another day will bring some hope
Realizing now, my dreams are crushed today
Watching out the window, through hopeless scope
Opening a Bible, found by God’s Grace
Inviting me in, His Word reaches out
Sensing a way to change life’s dismal pace
Offering a new path, without a doubt
Witnessing Christ Jesus on a cruel Cross
Accepting my Savior, no longer lost

The more reverence we have for the Word of God, the more joy we shall find in it.
From Isaiah 40:8: “The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.”
