Background Baggage

We do not walk, based on our past;
Nor follow, old familiar feelings;
But live in Jesus’ Word, His love;
See transformation, our God is healing.
Psalm 23… in Our Lives?

So follow not, our feelings, ways
And neither follow, the flock
Nor false shepherds, deceiving
With the Good Shepherd, alone walk .
Learn from Political Dishonesty

Though we have, our Constitution
Our Bill of Rights, at core
But overridden, by deception
By duplicity, and even more.
Facing Disasters

“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”
“The LORD gave, the LORD has taken
Blessed be the name, of the LORD”
God’s Amazing Grace

God’s great love and mercy
Turns the worst into winners
Jesus paid for his wrongs
Crucified, to save sinners.
Fall upon me and fill me!

Do you yearn to draw nearer
So filled, by God’s Spirit?
Take this vessel, so faulty
Come restore LORD, and fill it.
Adversity? – God means it for good

And so, no matter our lot
Walk by faith, and not sight
Cling to God’s Word, His grace
Midst our darkness, His light.
Our ‘Flesh’ has to Die

So have we died with Christ
Our flesh on the Cross?
Are we carnal and selfish
Or count all things as loss?
God Restores

“To revive the spirit, of the humble
Revive the heart, of those contrite”
Our Master Potter, can reshape
We His clay, remold aright.
Israel and her Foes

And yet our hope is not in weapons
The arm of flesh, will fail
Pray Israel trust in the LORD
Know her Messiah, wholly prevail.
