BIBLICAL DAYDREAMS OF FAITH

biblical daydreams of faith

In random daydreams I would fantasize

About living in various time frames in the bible

The trying and the joyful times

For which, since I was there, I would be liable

I felt the presence of the LORD

With Moses, I saw the bush that burned

To humble myself and have reverent fear

Are just two of the lessons that I’ve learned

I was in the camp of Abraham

When God’s covenant was given

He was commanded to sacrifice his son

His love of God and to obey kept him driven

When Joshua surrounded the city

By honoring the trumpet’s call

It was as God did decree

And I saw the walls of Jericho fall

I was on the battlefield with David

Hopelessly all looked to be lost

But his Godly faith would slay goliath

With rocks from a slingshot that were tossed

I stood in the court of King Solomon

God gave him wisdom beyond his years

Two women claimed a newborn child

The outcome brought me joyful tears

After the victory of Judah Macabee

With little oil for a Godly dedication      

Miraculously it lasted for eight days

Wow! What a cause for celebration

On and on throughout the bible

I saw all the miracles God had amassed

And though they were all wondrous

I’ve saved the best for last

I was part of the multitude

That saw God’s son hang on a tree

Because He was the only perfect sacrifice

For which God set the sins of mankind free

The daydreams that I have are awesome

But God has other plans for me

Messiah said to minister God’s word

Of salvation now and for eternity

FISH STORY

Fish story

As a child I went on fishing trips

Most of them were with my dad

At that point in my life it was

The greatest time I'd ever

Before dad would let me fish all by myself

He taught me how to use the rod and reel

That I would know if I had one on my hook

Because It's something that he said I'd feel

I sat there waiting very patiently but

My nervous stomach churned inside

I felt a jerk and quickly reeled it in

Unfortunately it was just the tide

I cast my line out once again

With all of the utmost speed

When it yanked again I pulled it in but

I had hooked clumps of thick seaweed

Once more I cast into deep water

By now I really didn't give a hoot

The next time that my line came up

I had hooked a size eight army boot

I was just about ready to give up

So I reeled it in and to my dismay

There was the biggest fish I'd ever seen

The largest one that was caught that day

The one thing that I learned from this

Is that no matter what gets in the fray

Be patient it will work out in the end

The goal that you seek is on the way

A RETREAT TO ADVANCE THE GLORY OF GOD

A RETREAT TO ADVANCE THE GLORY OF GOD

Another year has just flown by

It’s time again for the Men’s Retreat

Filled with praise and prayer and fellowship

And a speaker who I’ve yet to meet

We do not know the message

Of the sermon that this Israeli Rabbi brings

But with open minds and ears and hearts

Our spirit will absorb so many things

When the retreat has ended

This weekend will be more than a memory

For we will go forth and spread the word

Of how God Truth has set us free

Tell everyone who listens

How God sacrificed His only Son

To cleanse our sins and bring eternal life

Just by professing Yeshua, Messiah, The Holy One

Each of us who ministers God’s word

Will be blessed beyond all measure

Our fear of the Lord is reverent

Our reward an abundance of Heavenly treasure       

Before you know it we’ll meet again

With many stories of salvation

This will continue until Messiah’s return

In the year of Jubilation
