God remains steadfast

Sharing divine love

Treasuring His flock

Grace flows from above

Tomorrow Offers Hope

Posted on April 17, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

Journey’s destination

Seeking life’s unknown

Coming to night’s station

No one answers phone

Voices remain muted

Chasing shadow’s trace

Feeling spirit looted

Darkness giving chase

Freedom’s ember cloaked

Walking toward peace

Igniting flame, well-stoked

Distant voice won’t cease

Tomorrow offers hope

Hearing wartime’s calm

Grasping sunrise’s rope

Listen, no more bombs!

Always near

God’s mighty hand

From heavenly high

His creation, as planned

Mercy’s light

Shares daily bread

God’s comforting peace

Anchored at faith’s beachhead

Gospel’s breath

Fills from His Word

God delivers hope

Future no longer blurred

Harmony

Blessed with God’s love

Grace feeds man’s spirit

Established from above

Righteous road

God walks with thee

Promises fulfilled

Enemy’s darkness flees

Martin Luther Quote

Posted on April 4, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

Even if I know that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

From Hebrews 10:23: “Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful.”

Each Tomorrow

Posted on March 30, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

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.”

Faith in future unseen

Trusting God’s divine Word

Tasting His every truth

Steps taken, hope conferred

Faith finds each tomorrow

Hearing Shepherd’s firm voice

Welcoming hope with love

Peace filling every choice

Faith follows righteous path

Holding hope’s precious grace

According to God’s plan

Enemy gives up chase

Faith moving beyond fear

Finding mercy’s new light

Grasping Savior’s fresh rope

Hope shines forever bright

Faith offers endless joy

Returning to God’s home

Praising as One Body

Destined hope freely roams

From Psalm 23:6: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.”

Experiencing God’s grace

Feeling His generous love

Tasting heavenly goodness

New life found in Christ above

Renewing spirit of grace

Casting aside former ways

Escaping darkest trials

Christ’s sunrise erases gray

Drinking from God’s well of grace

Reading His Word, laced with hope

Sharing His righteous message

Faith matures, viewed through Christ’s scope

Embracing truth in God’s grace

Nourishing faith, now rejoice

Sustaining joy with each step

Christ’s glory in risen voice

Harvesting gifts from God’s grace

Setting mind on peace above

Filling heart with blessed hymns

Harmony flows from Christ’s love

From Colossians 3:15: “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.”

Salvation’s Key

Posted on March 5, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

From Joel 2:12-13: “Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from punishment.”

Earth quakes, full of darkness

Wilderness surrounds thee

Wayward steps, no escape

Misplacing salvation’s key

Hope dwells in empty faith

Where is God’s gracious love?

Enemy’s fire burns bright

Obscuring Spirit above

Each transgression concealed

Yet, God views every one

Righteous breath covers land

Offering grace to outrun

Heart fills with repentance

Every sin be confessed

God’s forgiveness shall come

Redeeming faith’s final quest

Christ waits at Calvary

Hidden in faith’s Good News

Hope’s new pathway of peace

Offering love to infuse

From Proverbs 28:13: “No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”
