By Faith, Count It All Joy

“For they were strangers, and pilgrims;
On earth to seek, a heavenly home”;
May we likewise, walk by faith ;
Count all our trials, with joy unknown.

Our Feelings or God’s Favor?

Now godliness with contentment,
Is surely, great gain,
God shall supply, all your need ,
By Christ Jesus, we obtain.

Led by Lusts, or the LORD

Again, recall our God provides.
An escape, when we are tempted.
He will rescue, as we obey.
For in Christ, we are protected.

Facing Fires of Adversity

Be not weighed down, in life’s struggles;
Our enemy, deceives, destroys;
Resolve each step, to keep believing;
Be not robbed, of Jesus’ joy.

Life Trials and Tribulations

For life’s not feelings, nor comfort
Rather, sacrificing self
Trust and obey, like Jesus
Serve daily God, and not myself.

Victory in our Trials

So ever, give thanks to our God;
Yes, all through Christ Jesus;
To spread His fragrance, and knowledge;
For in triumph, He always leads us!

My Rejection

Recalling Jesus, despised, rejected
Calls us, come follow Him
He knows well, all our sorrows
He gives us grace, comforts within.

A Victim, a Victor or Vector?

So depending, not on others
Their affirmation and praise
And no matter our lot
Be a God-Vector, always.

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”

Closed Doors

When a door slams shut
There is rarely a ‘why’
God suddenly closes
‘Oft a puzzling surprise.
