Make no mistake about it, “He’s got the whole world in His hands.” In doing so, he weaves everything together into His design.
From Proverbs 16:20: “Those who are attentive to a matter will prosper, and happy are those who trust in the Lord.”
God has entrusted to us a great deal. He knows that we can do all things by His grace, so He’s trusting in us to trust Him.
From Psalm 31:7-8: “I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have taken heed of my adversities, and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place.”
Walking through life’s fire
Never to blindly stumble—
God always walks close
Darkness testing faith
Patiently trusting Father—
Accepting His plan
Holy Spirit seeks
Guiding tongues in bringing forth—
Pure and blessed speech
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.”
Forgettable years adding up
Spiritual health needs checkup
Winter’s never-ending season
Now asking, “What is life’s reason?”
Empty heart filling with sorrow
God not waiting for tomorrow
Lost on dusty shelf, answer speaks
Holy Bible verses now seek
God’s guiding hands open each page
Grace unlocking life’s gloomy cage
Gospels speak of Messiah’s love
Son journeys to earth from above
Jesus speaks truth with conviction
Mercy’s faith heals each affliction
Son of God tells of one to come
Spirit beating hope’s steady drum
Lord’s Advocate, incessant voice
Each day fills with His divine choice
Trust and obey our Triune God
Righteousness shatters sin’s facade
Unforgettable years beaming
Spiritual health now gleaming
From 2 Corinthians 13:13: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.”

From Psalm 37:23-24: “Our steps are made firm by the Lord, when He delights in our way; though we stumble, we shall not fall headlong, for the Lord holds us by the hand.”
God wants us to succeed today
Asking for our patience and trust
Allowing faith to rebuild hope
Studying from His Word, we must
Always trusting in our Father
Bringing us guidance and His love
Achieving good through His name
Touching hearts, His joy sings above
We are never forsaken, never
Leading, God offers direction
Finding the means, moving forward
Meeting trials with reflection
The wicked gather all around
Following the Enemy’s lies
Causing God to judge their follies
Coming Judgment Day will apprise
Our Savior’s coming, all waiting
Receiving God’s Grace, what a gift
The Lord standing with the righteous
Accepting His plan, lives not adrift
We may still misstep and stumble
Preventing us from falling down
Reaching out, God’s hand guiding us
Fleeing, the thirsty Enemy frowns
Through His Word, the Father blesses
Giving generously, all with love
Choosing Jesus, Salvation comes
Seeking God’s guidance, from above
From the words of Dutch priest, writer, and theologian Henri Nouwen: “A spiritual discipline is necessary in order to move slowly from an absurd to an obedient life, from a life filled with noisy worries to a life in which there is some free inner space where we can listen to our God and follow His guidance.”

Life’s

Steadfastly built upon
Holy Word of God
Unbreakable
Life’s
Darkening journey
God’s light filling
Our lantern of hope
Everlasting
Life’s
Faltering trust
Sin’s empty promises
Driving us toward God
Redemptive
Take a moment to ask the Lord if anything is clouding your internal signals, and trust in His promise to make your path straight.
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.”
Start planting noble seeds and watch your life grow.
True refuge demands a complete and utter trust fall into the arms of reality.

From Psalm 42:2-3: “My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and behold the face of God? My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me continually, ‘Where is your God?'”
Darkness comes upon
Evil drawing near
Thirsty and hungry
There’s nothing to fear
Discouraged feelings
From dark, fallen world
Approaching Father
His Spirit unfurled
Rest assured with God
Observing our tears
Hearing nightly cries
Boldly He shall steer
Facing life’s hardships
Never giving up
Faith shall overcome
Overflowing cup
Believing in God
Trusting divine walk
Casting away storms
Grace shall always talk
From Psalm 42:11: “Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my help and my God.”
