PRESS TO THE MARK



PRESS TO THE MARK


I know that my life is not over
Although much of my sight is gone
I put my trust in God and Yeshua
To guide me so that I can Carry on

I’m unable to do as much as I used to
But there are still things that I can do
I absolutely refuse to have a pity party
And just deal with all things that are new

Yeshua gave His life for me
So that in and through Him I can live
It’s because His Holy Spirit lives in me
That I’ve learned to receive as well as give

Thank you Lord for my Godly wife
Who picks me up when I may fall
With her support I’ll press to the mark
Until the day that I get Your final c

GRACE AND MERCY ARE IN GOD'S HANDS



GRACE AND MERCY ARE IN GOD’S HANDS

I learned something new the other day
Something that I knew but didn’t see
Or perhaps I saw it but didn’t believe
If that was the case then shame on me

The incident I’m referring to is healing
I questioned whether I could be healed
This way of thinking was so very wrong
I didn’t see that my fate was already sealed

For when Yeshua said that by His Stripes
The Believers are healed once and for all
We must think that way in all situations
Even after the Lord gives us that final call

Forgive me Lord for ever doubting Your Word
It was satan that put this thought on my mind
Now I know Your Truth and it has set me free
Allowing me to leave negative thoughts behind

WHAT MAKES YOU TICK



WHAT MAKES YOU TICK

Have you ever thought about your body parts
And why they do some of the things they do
There’s a very simple explanation out there
But in actuality it’s not even about you

You see you were made in God’s image
Every part is where it’s supposed to be
And other parts play an important role
Connecting places that you can’t even see

Every single one has a specific function
It may be to see feel hear smell or taste
God even provided a couple of parts to
Help you get rid of unnecessary waste

At times you have problems with the parts
It might have even been caused by you
A couple of prominent examples of this are
What you eat and lack of exercising you do

There’s one thing that we don’t have power over
It’s when things go wrong that we can’t control
The natural aging process is one of many causes
It’s God’s eventual right and claim to your Soul

So thank Him for all of the good parts
Don’t fret over those that you can’t see
Either way it’s all in God’s Hands and
One day you’ll be totally sickness free

GETTING GOD'S WORD OUT



GETTING GOD’S WORD OUT

Getting God’s Word out to the world
Has not been the easiest thing to do
I do my part as one of God’s vessels
Going the rest of the way is up to you

Whenever you profess Yeshua as Messiah
You’re not spouting any meaningless word
Like me you are a vessel in your own way
To spread God’s Good News to be heard

Perhaps you’re not adept at doing this just yet
That’s where other vessels such as me stand in
You can lead them to me or others you know
To help rid the ungodly of the world of sin

The reason that the Lord wants so many vessels
Is not because He cannot do this all on His own
God wants to show the blessing of His Salvation
Through you so His truth and love may be known

Show them through the Old and New Covenants
One which leads into the fulfillment of the other
This is one of many ways that God shows us how
We’re connected as a Spiritual Sister and Brother

Here is another suggestion that you may want to use
If you’re trying to lead others to Salvation in the Lord
It will show them the faith and the strength that we have
And that those who believe are of one Spiritual accord

Every one of us is a child of God’s Creation
Through Him you can trace your family tree
Profess your love to Father God who made you
Then you will know God’s Truth that set you free





DEALING WITH FRUSTRATION



DEALING WITH FRUSTRATION

Have you ever had one of those days
When everything that could goes wrong
It may just start with something small
Like constantly singing the same song

Then you go to get on the computer and
The server has changed things around
You keep trying to get into your email
But sadly it’s nowhere to be found

So you decide to take out the daily trash
The bag is overflowing and it’s very heavy
It tears and everything falls all over the place
And your clothes get covered with gravy

Finally when you get the mess cleaned up
You open the door and the dog escapes
It makes you wonder what else could go wrong
So far your day has been filled with sour grapes

That’s the time when you need to pause
You need to take one giant step back
If the rest of the day continues like this
It’s just liable to cause a heart attack

Instead of fretting about all that’s happened
There is something else that you can do
Just turn these frustrations over to the Lord
And then you can start the day anew

The Lord will bear your burden
By yourself you can’t fix the mess
Move on with the rest of the day
And God will take care of the rest

Stay calm and go about your business
It’s amazing how it will all work out
All because you let go and let God
That’s really what it’s all about

THE HOME

THE HOME

 
The home that you reside in now
Is just as much a House of Prayer
I know this to be an undisputable fact
Because God’s Presence is everywhere

It reflects so many of the aspects about you
It says who you are and good things you do
Like cleanliness which is next to Godliness
And reading from both of the Covenants too

You don’t have the need of a prayer closet
Particularly when someone else is around
You communicate though God’s Holy Spirit because
As one of His Children you’re on Spiritual Ground

Perhaps if you feel the same way that I do about the Lord
Put objects of faith in the home that show Him Reverence
Even though God already knows how much you love Him
His love is manifest to you in the power of an ever presence

The last thing that I’d say about when you’re home
Is to be thankful in all your ways for goodness sake
God sees you at both your best and at your worst
He knows your moral character asleep or awake

A CONVERSATION WITH MYSELF

A CONVERSATION WITH MYSELF?

I often ponder what’s going through viewer’s minds
It'’s really something that I’m unable to comprehend
I’ve ask them to respond to what I’ve written and
It’s a one way dialog with no one on the other end

So I’m putting it out there ask for the umpteenth time
Will you respond with a simple or complex explanation
Although it’s something that I’m unable to understand
This problen won’t ever cause writer’s block frustration

I 'd like to create some sort of dialogue with my readers
To see if what I’ve written can or has helped in any way
The one thing about the responses that I do get is that
I know it helps to keep me on the lord's path every day
