Transforming Fate

Dawn of new day descends

Sky buckles from thunder

Clouds of darkness contend

Filled with newfound wonders

 

Storm calms, dances away

Sunny face welcomed back

Good vibes arrive to say

Filled with joy’s precious snacks

 

Hours pass with timely bliss

Thirsty minutes consumed

Yet, life never amiss

Filled with flowers all bloomed

 

Moonlight ascends on cue

Tomorrow’s sunlight waits

Every shadow’s breakthrough

Filled with transforming fate

God has some extremely exciting things in mind for His children.  He knows exactly where He’s taking us.  Our job is to obey.

From Isaiah 41:10:  “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with My victorious right hand.”

Charles Swindoll (born 1934) is an American pastor and Christian author.

The immortal, invisible, all-wise God hid from your eyes, is at work.  Be very still, and for a change, listen.

From Isaiah 30:15:  “For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:  In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”

God specializes in turning the mundane into the meaningful.  Whether you see Him or not, He is at work in your life as this very moment.

From Zepaniah 3:17:  “The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will renew you in His love; He will exult over you with loud singing as on a day of festival.”

Transformative in vision

Merciful justice reigns

Filled with Father’s righteousness

Harvesting ripened grain

 

Transformative in purpose

Judgment from Father’s hand

Thirst quenched by living waters

Saving this weary land

 

Transformative in mission

Refuge upon hope’s rock

Eyes opened to Father’s truth

Encouraging faith’s flock

 

Transformative in passion

Forgiveness of debts owed

Resurrection’s eternal light

Walking Christ’s risen road

From Luke 24:13-16:  “Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened.  While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself came near and went with them, but their eyes were kept from recognizing Him.”
