EACH BREATH I TAKE

EACH BREATH I TAKE

I thank the Lord for every breath I take

For only God knows when all life ends

It may come when you are young or old

What's is in His plans well it all depends

Perhaps He will give you a longer life

That enables you to minister His Word

Maybe you have yet to accept the Lord and

Years may go by before His Truth is heard

He may call a baby or a youth to glory

Their families distraught and full of pain

But God has a higher purpose for them

In time they'll see their loved once again

No matter how much time you have left on earth

Pray to and Praise and glorify our God and King

Obey whatever the Lord God may ask you to do

To understand that abiding in Him is everything

Then when by the Grace of God He calls you

And He says that it's time to end your years

Yeshua will bring you to His Father's House

Your answered prayer filled with joyful tears

THIRD ANNIVERSARY

Today is the third anniversary of the passing of my husband, Joel Steinhauer.

He is the author of all the poetry posted here.

I'm doing my best to continue posting more of his poetry weekly if possible.

May the Lord continue to bless you and use these poems to uplift and teach each of you!

THE WRESTLER

      THE WRESTLER

A few years ago I met a very talented student

He had joined the high school wrestling squad

He won every single match that he competed in

What he was lacking was a relationship with God

He was so skilled in this sport that

People saw him as the best around

He spotted his opponent's weakness and

Then proceeded to pin them to the ground

He went to the state finals and was defeated

But he learned a valuable lesson on that day

He accepted his Jewish Messiah and was humbled
He knew that win or lose God was in his life to stay

THE NUMBER ONE PRIORY

THE NUMBER ONE PRIORY

God does works in many different ways

That you and I will never understand

But we know Him through the Holy Spirit and

We know that our future has been pre-planned

We also know that God's Son paid the ultimate price

So as Believers in Messiah our sins are washed away

It doesn't mean that we don't have to ask forgiveness

For sins that we commit or are not aware of each day

Don't judge others because we too will be judged

Avoid offensive things that we know are wrong

Our rabbi has minister on this so many many times

By act accordingly our faith will always stay strong

Stop making excuses for not coming to Shabbat services

Like it's too far or my Kids need to be driven to a game

We know that if we're too busy for God we're just too busy

When we think about it these excuses are really very lame

Serving God always should be

Our very first one priority

He controls every facet of our lives because

His Word is always will be the final authority

A good example about what I mean

Is at your daughter's ballet practice session

She takes a spill and is unable to dance at her recital

Don't you think God is trying to teach you a lesson

If your priorities had been in the right order

The Lord would surely have let you know

Her recital would have been a huge success 

Her performance the highlight of the show`

Or perhaps your son allowed the winning to score

I'm pretty sure that both of you would be very sad

If you had lined yourself up with the word of G-d

Instead his winning hit would have made you glad

By now I hope that I have gotten my point across

The order of life's priority is G-d family then you

Ask His forgiveness and He will see that you know

As a believer you know that it's the right thing to do

READ GOD'S WORD

 READ GOD'S WORD

The word of the Lord is Sacred

And His Holy Word is also pure

If you do not read God's Perfect Word

Obviously you're spiritually insecure

Although I read the bible every day

There is much I do not understand

So I go back and read it over again

It's all a part of God's Eternal Plan

Many religions just have it read to them

Of the two testaments many just read one

Without the Old there would be no new and

Then no one would ever know God's only Son

I tell the Gentiles to seek their Jewish roots and

To the Jew Read the old and you'll crave the new

Do this and your eyes will be opened to the point

That the Blessings of the Lord will abound in you

Each of our days on this planet are from breath to breath

Read both testaments and it will become extremely clear

That the only way to get to the Father is through His Son and

God alone knows the day but we sense the end is drawing near

Your good works will not get you into heaven

You need to accept Yeshua and save your soul

Only through Him will you know eternal life

The final gift from God that makes you whole

I JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS

  I JUST TELL IT LIKE IT IS

 I have seen so many religious hypocrites

But God has told me that I shouldn't judge

So I put all situations like this into The Lord's hands

It's a Godly Command from which I will not budge

It is not enough just to attend religious services

Just good works won't get you heaven bound

By accepting Messiah as Lord and savior

You'll be turning your entire life around

When your life on this planet is finished

The judgement you face is in your hands

The only unquestionable way to do this

Is by obeying all that the Lord Commands

 

One example which I can give you is

In life don't put on that blinder hood

Learn to love your neighbor as yourself

God said to do this for His Greater Good

God is not there just for when you need him

He is there for you through all night and day

You can reach Him anytime anywhere

When seek Him you just need to pray

You may not get the answer that you seek

Perhaps what you ask should not be done

But it comes From God who is right and just

Who else could have sacrificed His only Son

Yeshua's blood was shed for your salvatio

From this there's a lesson that you must learn

It is to follow His Word as best you can and

And God will always stand by you in return

He's told you to go forth and minister His Word

From Genesis all the of way through Revelation

Messiah's return will be coming really soon because

All of the signs point to us as the end time generation

If through your ministry only one person finds Salvation

And they follow your example by dong the same as you

Multitudes will come to know the Glory of the Lord God

And they will be among those who are heaven bound too

When you go through the Pearly Gates there are riches

Which go beyond anything you could possibly measure

But the greatest reward that you will receive on that day is

That Father God through Yeshua is your heavenly treasure

LEANING ON THE ROCK

LEANING ON THE ROCK

At the very moment of my darkest hour oh Lord

It looked like I had reached the end of my rope

I clung to You in prayer with all of my strength

For You are my Salvation and in you there is hope

My prayers were answered just as You promised

By faith You have helped me turn my life around

I had no doubts or fears when I sought Your help oh Lord

For I knew that on the rock I am planted in solid ground

You gave your life to absolve me of my sins and now

In You my past troubles are no longer even a memory

Here and now I will forever be Your faithful servant

Let Your Holy Spirit tell me what I can do for Thee

Return soon Lord and bring us Your Shalom

Then lead us to Your Kingdom of Eternal Life

To abide in mansions that You have provided

Where tranquility replaces all illness and strife
