Our Gifts & Talents

Thro’ His Spirit, God gives
In His people, are sown
Differing talents and gifts
That His glory, be known.
Our Duty or Choice?

Do learn, sit and listen
To hear the Lord’s voice
Seek His face, and presence
‘Tis our duty, not a choice.
Our Culture, or His Cross?

Will we live then for ‘self’
And our feelings that fail?
Or follow our God
Know, His truths will prevail.
Our Busyness or God’s Presence?

So, one thing most needed
Amidst our busyness, each day
To surrender, keep calling
Asking LORD, show the way.
O Come, Holy Spirit

Control and compel me
Conform me to Christ
Consume all the dross
His blood has sufficed.
Making Sense of Life

To make sense, we need God
To find purpose and meaning
So, turn to our Creator
We need, His intervening.
Lessons from Jacob

When God makes a promise
It never can fail
Tho’ the vessels He uses
Seem often, so frail.
Jars of Clay

We’re just, jars of clay
Mere, earthen vessels
Yet we choose, how to fill
Be unique, and special.
Is ‘Self’ Your Goal?

Know God, our Creator
Remember, He is Lord
Created us, for His kingdom
In Christ, we’re restored.
If We will but Heed

But should we rebel
Turn from God’s Word
Disobey His commands
We surely are cursed.
