Wholeness of Faith

Posted on November 20, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

From Hebrews 10:22: “Let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

Accepting Christ as Savior

Truth filling with His light

His blood pays for each sin

Mercy enriched, forthright

Witnessing wholeness of faith

Christ’s righteousness, must trust

Prayer’s voice guides changes

Victory over evil’s lust

Experiencing healing

Now taking deeper breaths

Christ offers lasting hope

Triumph rising from death

Encouraging each other

Horizon’s promised fate

From Gospel’s saving grace

Forgiveness offers clean slate

Walking in Christ’s light each day

No longer lost, but found

Peace breathes with every step

Faith forever heaven bound

From Hebrews 10:38-39: “but my righteous one will live by faith. My soul takes no pleasure in anyone who shrinks back. But we are not among those who shrink back and so are lost but among those who have faith and so preserve our souls.”

God will use failure in your life to break down that strong desire in your heart to see your name in lights. And when He finally breaks you of that lust for recognition, He may place you before the lights like you’ve never imagined. But then it won’t matter. You won’t care if you’re prime time of small time, center stage or backstage, leading the charge or packing the baggage. You’re just part of the king’s army.

From Galatians 5:26: “Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another.”

Hope’s Faith

Posted on November 3, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

From 1 Peter 1:6-7: “In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”

Blessed Jesus Christ

Brings forth faith’s new birth

Trust in Jesus Christ

Father’s righteous Son

Called to embrace Him

Hope’s faith in the One

From 1 Peter 1:13: “Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when He is revealed.”

If we are to discover the Lord’s best for our life, we must trust His way is better than our plans and desires.

From Jeremiah 29:11-12: “For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. Then when you call upon Me and come and pray to Me, I will hear you.”

Discipleship’s Door

Posted on October 23, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

From John 1:38-39: “When Jesus turned and saw them following, He said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are you staying?’He said to them, ‘Come and see.’ They came and saw where He was staying, and they remained with Him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon.”

Meeting stranger

On life’s remote road

One calls Him, “Lamb of God”

Holy seeds, already sowed

Messiah found

Another saint born

Faithful see Father’s light

Trust growing, from grace airborne

Blessed greeting

Shared from Son of Man

Faith’s opportunity

Son of God’s trusted game plan

Always present

Christ be everything

Believers find their home

Hope transformed by stalwart King

Self-pride now sleeps

Spirit set to soar

Mercy’s reign opens wide

Discipleship’s righteous door

Worry ends when faith begins.

From 1 Peter 5:6-7: “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”

Sovereignty means that ultimately God alone has the right to declare what creation should be.

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.”

Stanley Grenz (1950-2005) was an American theologian and Christian writer.

Realize that if a door closed, it’s because what was behind it wasn’t meant for you.

You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go, and see what happens.
