THE BEST LAID PLANS

THE BEST LAID PLANS

The quote from a well known saying is that the
Best laid plans of mice and men often go awry
Have you ever stopped to think about the reason
And when it happens do you ask yourself why

Things happen that may make you change your plans
Could it be that someone is trying to get your attention
Because whether you believe it and perhaps you may not
All things that occur in life come from Devine intervention

If you truly know God then you understand that
Some things we think and do are not His ways
And just like any child’s good father would
He knows what is best for each of our days

Yes we make plans and they don’t always work out
And more often than not we belabor the situation
Just let God know that whatever His will let it be done
Thereby saving yourself a lot of aggravating frustration

There are times when you’re on the same page with God
And things work out just exactly as you expect them to
Sometimes they may surprise you and work out even better
I’m sure it’s because of the way that God understands you

By declaring the words, “Yes, I let go and let God.”
Blind faith shows that you walk with Him each day
More often than not all good things tend to happen
When you exalt God with praise and when you pray

WHAT IS LOVE

WHAT IS LOVE

First and foremost it is the love of God
You exalt Him with both praise and prayer
And because your relationship is one on one
God is always right beside you everywhere

Next is the love of parents
Who some may not even know
But they still have God the Father
To whom their love they can show

Then there is the love of your spouse
Support them although you may not agree
Be there for them in strength and wisdom
The fruit that it bares you will always see

After that please love your children
By using both example and emotion
Teach them to know right from wrong
This in turn will earn you their devotion

If you are a part of the work force
Show love by doing the best you can
Don’t forget to tithe on your income
It’s all a part of God’s Eternal Plan

God commands you to love your neighbor
And yes He tells us even to love our enemy
When you obey what God commands
God’s Truth will set you spiritually free

God especially wants you to love yourself
A happy person can fulfill all the above
Because what goes around comes back
Especially the presence of God’s Love

There’s a bonus to all this love and goodness
It’s in the love that God gives you in return
He is preparing a place for you in His Kingdom
It is a time for which one day you’ll yearn

ETERNITY

ETERNITY

Just exactly how do we define eternity
It can’t be measured in time or distance
I believe that God has given you a choice
And that it’s the point of last resistance

Think about where you’d like to spend it
There are really only two distinct choices
The first is hell to be tormented forever or
Heaven where you’ll rejoice at angel’s voices

There are two ways to make that choice
One is by continuing with your sinful ways
Or to repent and seek salvation through Yeshua
Coming face to face with God and sing His praise

If you should want to choose the first way
It could be too late to change your mind
But if you confess your sins and accept the Lord
It means you’ve left your worldly ways behind

Welcome to the world of new beginnings
Where you’ve been spiritually born again
Confident because you made the right choice
All God’s people join you and say, “AMEN."

A NEW YEAR/A NEW YOU

A NEW YEAR/A NEW YOU

Another twelve months have come and gone
And for a brief moment you need to look back
Not at the year’s events in the news but
At the good you did and what did you lack

Were you one of those who were in the world or
Did you spread God’s word as He commands
What can you do that will bless God in the New Year
That you know fits in with His eternal plans

It may just be some little things
Such as kindness giving and love
But things like this all fit right into
What God is doing from up above

Spread God’s word when and where you can
Tell everyone about Yeshua God’s only Son
How He died that your sins would be forgiven
By your example show the victory that He won

Do these things throughout the coming year
God will grant you blessings beyond measure
And when your time on the earth has ended
You’ll reap the benefits of your heavenly treasure

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND BLESS IN YESHUA

DELIVERANCE

DELIVERANCE

For many of the years into my adult life
I used the name of Jesus Christ in vain
As a young Jew growing up it was
A name that I was taught to disdain

I had no reason to question or doubt
Because the Rabbi’s word was taken
As the final word and authority
That is until my faith was shaken

In time God chose to take my blinders off
I read both Covenants all the way through
I saw the error of my sinful ways and now
I am completed and have been born anew

Yeshua came to set us free for both
Jews and Gentiles who are grafted in
His body was broken and His blood
Cleansed all who believe in Him of sin

Although I know that I have sinned
God said that He‘d remember it no longer
And because His Holy Spirit lives in me
Each day my faith grows even stronger

Now I minister God’s Message through
The poetry which I’ve been truly blessed
And if I’m able to plant a seed in someone
I know that the Lord will handle all the rest

He will remove many blinders throughout the world
With the power of His swift and mighty sword
And one day all God’s people will proclaim,
“Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”

So I implore both Jew and Gentile
Let God take them off for you to see
Once the devil’s bonds have been broken
You will know the truth that set y

CHRISTMAS AND MESSIAH'S BIRTH

CHRISTMAS AND MESSIAH’S BIRTH

We know the date that Yeshua’s birth is celebrated
The church in Rome decided on this particular day
It had nothing to do with the Messiah’s actual birth
It was instituted by them to make paganism go away

Not one person knew the exact date of Yeshua’s birth
So I guess this day to celebrate was as good as any
What’s important here is the fact that He was born
To be loved, revered and Deified by so very many

And as the very famous saying goes
Yeshua is the reason for the season
Those who deny Him will be condemned
To the dark pit of hell for eternal treason

But if you love and revere Him as Lord
He will surely return that love to you
Make Yeshua an integrated part of your life and
He’ll influence everything that you think say and do

Yeshua is an integral part of God’s eternal plan
In the Tri-Unity of the Holy Spirit Father and Son
So we accept this day even though it was chosen by man
To celebrate Messiah’s birth and the victory that He won

Merry Christmas and Blessings in Yeshua to all.

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

Once upon a time there were two brothers
Each one believed that their cause was true
One would don a uniform of Confederate gray
The other would choose to wear Union blue

They both had fought many battles
Each trying to keep their cause alive
But regardless of which side won the war
They prayed that the other one would survive

Then one day a very crucial battle would occur
And each of the Generals needed to use their ace
In the heat of this bloody skirmish
The two brothers came face to face

The next thing that was supposed to happen
Was for each of them to pull their trigger
But their brotherly love was far too strong
It’s the one thing that the Generals didn’t figure

When the war ended they both survived
So it didn’t matter who had won or lost
Because if only one brother had survived
It would have been too high a cost

The lesson to be learned from this poetic story is
That no matter what the cost or for what good
One reason why the Son of God gave up His life
Was for mankind to seek peace and brotherhood
