Pathway of Righteousness

Posted on May 12, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

From Proverbs 10:2: “Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from death.”

Footsteps seeking shortcut

Tempted with distractions

Detours filled with wrong turns

Darkness shrouds each transaction

Father’s road forsaken

Evil offers his way

Man’s eagerness to shine

Misguided bypass each day

Pulled away from Father

North, then south . . . now alone

West, then east . . . deeply lost

Next destination . . . unknown

Spirit’s faithfulness breathes

Constant grace, always bright

Jesus walking ahead

Resurrection’s blessed light

Filled with hope’s renewal

Witness of Savior’s peace

Fruits of Spirit descend

Wondrous joy fills every piece

Pathway of righteousness

Obstacles cleared away

Father’s trusted wisdom

Faith’s choices follow His way

From Psalm 23:1-3: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for His name’s sake.”

God’s specialty is bringing renewal to our strength, not reminders of our weakness. Take it by faith.

From Proverbs 3:1-2: “My child, do not forget My teaching, but let your heart keep My commandments, for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.”

Fresh Beginnings

Posted on February 4, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 51:10-12: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your holy spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit.”

From Ephesians 4:21-24: “For surely you have heard about Him and were taught in Him, as truth is in Jesus, to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

What you can’t go through on your own, God will help you fly over.

From Isaiah 40:31: “But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

Woodrow Kroll (born 1944) is an American pastor, Christian author, and radio host. He has written over 50 books on the Bible and Christian living.

When affliction strips away every crutch, one has only the Lord to depend upon. Though some people are destroyed by that kind of situation, others are built into undaunted believers.

From Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”

Why does God lead us through desert places? That He might humble us, that He might test us, and that the true condition of our hearts might be revealed. There’s nothing like the desert to help you discover the real you.

From Ephesians 4:21-24: “For surely you have heard about Him and were taught in Him, as truth is in Jesus, to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

Back on Course

Posted on September 14, 2022 by bigskybuckeye

From Luke 15:31-32: “Then the father said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.'”

Marking calendar

Making this His day

Back on course with God

Kneeling now to pray

Forsaking darkness

Finding blessed light

Immersed in God’s Word

Hearing truth so bright

Growing in God’s grace

Worshipping with Him

Each precious moment

Walking in rhythm

Returning back home

Living in His peace

Promised Christ’s coming

Bringing life’s new lease

From 2 Peter 3:17-18: “You therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, beware that you are not carried away with the error of the lawless and lose your own stability. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”
