Let me be a man on fire,
Holy Spirit, set me a blaze,
Against the darkness I aspire
To stand and honor God with praise.
S.T.O.P.
Hope your sleep was rejuvenating and long.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd - THAT'S RELATIONSHIP!
I shall not want - THAT'S SUPPLY!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures - THAT'S REST!
He leadeth me beside still waters - THAT'S REFRESHMENT!
He restoreth my soul - THAT'S HEALING!
He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness - THAT'S GUIDANCE!
For His name sake -THAT'S PURPOSE!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death - THAT'S TESTING!
I will fear no evil - THAT'S PROTECTION!
For thou art with me - THAT'S FAITHFULNESS!
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me - THAT'S DISCIPLINE!
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence
of mine enemies - THAT'S HOPE!
Thou anointest my head with oil - THAT'S CONSECRATION!
My cup runneth over - THAT'S ABUNDANCE!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life - THAT'S BLESSING!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord - THAT'S SECURITY!
Forever - THAT'S ETERNITY!
That is an awesome poem, and I'm going to make a poster out of it. May God bless you for standing the walls as a watchman for your brothers while we sleep.You and I have the same fight since we share the same employer. You understand. I will take what little sleep I get and give thanks that I get any. I had four hours, followed by a physically, emotionally, mentally exhausting night at work. I am tapped out and have little left to give at work. The Lord has been whispering in my ear for some time. He whispers:
Victory in Me is yours,
Keep My joy in your heart.
I give you this fresh start.
Make the move of healing,
Where My counsel is more revealing
And not clouded by wars.
Victory in Me is yours.
Move, now, to a quieter place
Where your thoughts and emotions
Reflect your honorable devotions.
Surrender now, and go forward.
Make the move to a quiet place,
Your vessel will cease to race.
I am thy Lord and Savior,
I give you rest,
I have heard your prayer request.
Be renewed and grow strong.
Sing the sparrows song;
Sing yourself to sleep tonight.
Tomorrow I give you a different fight.
Dear Christian soldier,
Victory is yours.

Morning has broken in this pilgrimage land
all around I can see the works of His Hand
In His wisdom and grace in His mercy He gives faith
to us who are weary and battleworn and stained
from the life that we live in this world for their gain.
The curious will come, the repelled will stay b/c
it's against their code to allow goodness the sway
Rather it be that chaos would rule
but rest is in Jesus and resistance for fools
For in the end justice will rule
and mercy for those who give to Jesus His dues.
Well spoke, poet.God's Rainbow
Rainbows appear after mighty storms,
When things look their very worst,
Just when the skies are darkest gray,
Look for the rainbow first.
The rainbow is a sign of God's promise,
That He will guide us through any storm,
That He will see us through all our troubles,
No matter what their form.
When you feel battered by life's storms,
And you are filled with doubt and dismay;
Just remember God's rainbow is coming---
It's only a prayer away.
Thanks for the blessing of true words spoken with love for the Father. That was beautiful.Night after night in bed I lie
And listen to the trains as they go by
The sound of the whistle gives me a thrill
To see what's on the other side of the hill
Look up at the moon and the star-filled sky
Get me a plane and away I will fly
Find me a ship and stoke up the steam
To travel the world would be a dream
Here comes a diesel; a ticket I'll buy
And circle the earth under God's blue sky
From childhood up that's the way I felt
But I'll play the hand that I was dealt
There's more to life than meets the eye
And whatever He asks I will comply
No time to retire and set in the sun
It's fun to dream but there is work to be done
He never sinned once; it was His will to die
For me He gave His life to be crucified
One day on the cross He removed my sin
Then He rose again the battle to win
All that's inside me I will apply
To work for Him until I die
To those who are lost I will campaign
To bring them to Jesus and be born again
If you listen my friend you can hear their cry
The millions who want to qualify
To pull themselves up from that sinful rut
To open the door they think is shut
Take all the gold on earth and you cannot buy
A tiny piece of that heavenly pie
Believing in Jesus is the only way
To know His laws and to obey
He will remove your sin, do not be shy
Ask Jesus to help and He will occupy
Your heart, emotions, and your life
And kill the flesh that's causing you strife
There is none more important than the One up high
It's Jesus you need to edify
A few simple words is all it takes to commit
A new way of life that will benefit
"Jesus come into my life and rectify
The wrongs I have done without alibi
Forgive all the sins I have committed
Everything that Your Commandments prohibited"
"You are the Son of God I cannot deny
Fill me with Your Spirit to purify
Give me Your promises and Your Grace
I'm tired of running the Devil's race"
Say the above words and do not lie
And He will be there to sanctify
The only requirement is to believe
And Christ will stay with you; He will never leave
And now my friend on you I rely
To witness to others and testify
The harvest is great and the laborers few
And the help I need will come from you
Great poem! Thanks for sharing it, Sister.I posted this in the Messianic forum & then saw this thread, so I thought perhaps some of you might appreciate it as well.
Passover
By Melissa Laurel Simpson
A Feast Revealing God's Great Love.
Miracles Came From Up Above.
To Free His People God Would Send
A Man Called Moses To Defend
His People. He Would Take A Stand.
He'd Take Them Out Of Pharaoh's Hand,
And Lead Them To The Promised Land.
A Feast Revealing God's Great Love.
His Miracle Came From Up Above.
To Save His People He Sent His Son.
A Victory, Over Satan, Won.
Our Holy Lamb That Day Was Slain.
To Die For Us Was Why He Came.
His Blood Cleansed Every Sinful Shame.
This Feast Revealing God's Great Love,
These Miracles From Up Above,
Although Our Days Sometimes Seem Dim,
Remind Us Why We Worship Him.
He Knows How Long These Days Will Last.
He's Seen The Darkest Shadows Cast.
Our Troubles, Too, Will Soon Be Passed.
