Calls us
For His use
Facing life’s daily grind
Faithfulness
Father
Helps us
Hearts set afire
Lighting way through darkness
Trustworthiness
Father
Teaches us
Lessons in forgiveness
Sending out His disciples
Worthiness

Morning’s gentle light
Welcomed sunrise testifies—
Heavens shine with hope
Evening dusk returns
Landscape’s relaxing sunset—
Tomorrow’s peace rests
Dreamy stars waken
Galaxy twinkling with love—
Stirring nightly joy
Another challenge
Opportunity knocking—
Granting acceptance
Next post unfinished
Social media turned off—
Unplugging today
Life’s steady treadmill
Maintained and reliable—
Trusting every step
From Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
Life filled with uncertainty
Wondering where next step leads
Eyes witness dark, empty tomb
Reaping Father’s faithful seeds
Holy Word always certain
Lighting up life’s righteous road
Father’s mercy surprises
Meeting us at life’s crossroads
Days fill with expectancy
Trading our uncertain ways
Jesus Christ, faith’s lightning rod
Navigating through life’s maize
Certain of each tomorrow
Teaching His children through grace
New life begins at one cross
Praising Savior, now embrace
Certain in uncertainty
Praying, filled with fortitude
Spiritual life blossoms
Building hope’s new attitude
From Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
From Revelation 21:5: “And the one who was seated on the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he said, ‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.'”

Jesus is the way
The truth, the life
Expects us each day
To always be trustworthy
Jesus testifies with truth
Heed each spoken word
Faithfully accept His truth
Diligently study His Word
Our Savior asks us
Be followers of Him
Make never a fuss
Follow the Good Shepherd
Eternity awaits all believers
Accept Christ as Savior
Discipleship comes and delivers
Releases us from bondage
Placing trust in riches
Doesn’t promise us Eternity
Only brings selfish glitches
Place trust in Jesus
To enter God’s Kingdom
Requires faith and trust
Brings us Eternity’s freedom
From Christ’s precious blood
Back to the Garden
Adam and Eve swap
Satan’s lies—no bargain
God’s truth rings forever
As the Apostles write
Being stewards of truth
Painting with one coat
Love rejoices in truth
Walk with God’s Word
Never, never against it
Bringing a peaceful bird
Just as Noah witnessed
Follow all the commandments
Faithfully obey His Word
No idols or ornaments
Truth resides in Christ
Trust in our Father
Christ rises to life
We look no farther
Than Calvary’s rugged cross
