An Original Work / October 15, 2018
Tricked by masters
Duped by fools
Conned by artists
Using tools
They pull the wool
Over eyes
Always catch folks
By surprise
Clever crafters
Do their tricks
Searching victims
Them to prick
Be on your guard
Prayerfully
Trust in Your Lord
Patiently
Don’t be...
An Original Work / October 5, 2018
Based in part off Proverbs 27
Better is Love’s chastisement
From a friend,
Than to have your sins coddled
To no end.
Wisdom is seeing danger –
Flees from sin,
Trusting in your Redeemer,
Pure within.
Jesus is your salvation –
Freed from sin –
Giving you life...
Psalm 63:1-5 NASB
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Thus I have seen You in the sanctuary,
To see Your power and Your glory.
Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My...
This morning, the Lord Jesus reminded me of a writing he gave me in January of this year, so I went back and read it (1). It is called “Resting in Him,” and it is written mostly from personal experience, although it is also written from the knowledge of what others have shared with me about...
It has been raining hard here for a week. It has been dark and dismal. I feel a head cold coming on, nose stopped up, and I have been struggling to stay awake throughout the day. I have had some dizziness during this time, too.
Yet, we are not flooded like many people are right now, who have...

When we don’t understand,
Trust His plan.
When life doesn’t make sense,
Trust His ways.
When things often confuse,
Trust His care.
When the answers don’t come,
Trust His grace.
When the myst’ries are there,
Say a prayer.
When bewilderment nods,
Overcome...

They’re Liars, deceivers
Who mimic believers,
Controlling the masses
Regardless of classes
Thievery, trickery,
They’re from the enemy
They’re always so charming
It is quite alarming
They’re not to be trusted
For they will get busted
Think they’re...
Isaiah 46:1-2 NASB
Bel has bowed down, Nebo stoops over;
Their images are consigned to the beasts and the cattle.
The things that you carry are burdensome,
A load for the weary beast.
They stooped over, they have bowed down together;
They could not rescue the burden,
But have themselves gone...

Based off Psalm 42
Why downcast?
Why downcast is
My soul within me?
Put your hope in God.
For I will yet praise Him,
My Savior and my God.
My soul thirsts for God.
Where can I meet Him?
Why downcast?
Why downcast is
My soul within me?
Put your hope in...
Isaiah 48:1-6a NIV
“Listen to this, you descendants of Jacob,
you who are called by the name of Israel
and come from the line of Judah,
you who take oaths in the name of the Lord
and invoke the God of Israel—
but not in truth or righteousness—
you who call yourselves citizens of...

Based off Psalm 71
O, Lord, I take refuge in You,
For You are my God.
Turn Your ear now to me.
Be my Rock and Fortress
To which I do go.
Deliver me, God. You’re my hope.
My lips now give praise to You, God.
I always have hope,
Since You saved me from sin...
Last night I sat down with paper, pencil and my Bible, and I inquired of the Lord if he would be pleased to give me a song to write. I had not written any for about 2 years, for I did not have the space needed in order to do that. But, now that he has blessed me with that space, I asked him for...
Psalm 116:1-4 ESV
I love the Lord, because he has heard
my voice and my pleas for mercy.
Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
The snares of death encompassed me;
the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me;
I suffered distress and anguish...
Romans 14:1-4 NASB
Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. One person has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables only. The one who eats is not to regard with contempt the one who does not eat, and the...

Sad to see so many lost,
So many so afraid.
Sad to see the circumstance
When Christians fail to pray.
Sad to see the Bibles closed,
Now sitting on a shelf.
Sad to see the church engaged
In entertaining self.
Sad to see the gospel told
To satisfy the flesh...
Psalm 119:145-148 NASB
I cried with all my heart; answer me, O Lord!
I will observe Your statutes.
I cried to You; save me
And I shall keep Your testimonies.
I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I wait for Your words.
My eyes anticipate the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.
The...
1 Samuel 16:7 NASB
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
Half-Obedience
Summary 1 Samuel 15

The numbers of people in this world of ours who are suffering because of spousal unfaithfulness and abuse are astounding. The sad reality of it all, though, is that these numbers are high even among those who call themselves Christians. Porn addiction...

Trav’ling down the highway
Of blessed peacefulness,
Walking with my Savior,
Live to His righteousness.
Trusting in His mercy,
And resting in His care,
Oh, what blessed communion
With my Lord I do share.
Believe in His promise,
And trust His ev’ry word...
John 15:1-6 ESV
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I...
