Gods Greatness And Compassion

Tomorrow…The Hope for Today

Tears fell all day
And continue into night on the bed you lay
Thinking of the harshness life brought your way
So what hope is there you say…?
Tomorrow.
It’s a new day God will make
On tomorrow things can change
On tomorrow, His miracle can bring what you prayed
On tomorrow, God can open the happy gates
Tomorrow—the hope for today

Lord, thanks for hope, it allows us to wait
Thanks for tomorrow, your mercies are new each day
When the night gives way to day light
It brings fresh chances to see God work His might
He can make the tears dry
He can make the wrong right
In a matter of hours things can be okay
Lord, thanks for tomorrow… it’s the hope for today.

Scripture Reference: Psalms 30:5, Lamentations 3:22-23
Background

I remember the time in my life when things were so bad I would cry myself to sleep. The only thing that kept me going was the unknown of tomorrow—just wait until tomorrow. Maybe that thing we were waiting for will come tomorrow. Maybe the problem will be resolved tomorrow. Maybe joy will come tomorrow like Psalms 30:5 says. Lamentations 3:22-23 says God always has compassion for us and grants us new mercies every day. That’s hope—knowing that God can deliver on tomorrow.

If I Fall…

In this earthly life there are trials and falls
I’d rather not go through one at all
But if I do, Lord help me to
Not panic or have a fit
But remain as cool as a waterfall’s mist

Knowing that You will see me through
And when You do
Let me come back robust, running , and standing tall
Just like a waterfall.

Scripture reference – Isaiah 55:7

My MVP

As I watch the Olympic games in Rio
I thought about who in my life deserves the gold
Which flag of dominance should be raised
Which world anthem should be played
Who to me, is the MVP?

It would be the one who Trained me for a lifetime
To Run through the hurdles of life to the finish line
To Wrestle negative thoughts away
To Box the devil out of my place
To Jump on good opportunities
To Sail on until I accomplish my dreams
To Swim away from what’s troubling me
All the while, keeping me in His protective Rings

Yes the Lord Almighty, Jesus Christ the King, is my MVP
And while on the cereal box His picture won’t be
I endorse Him for everything wholeheartedly
The flames of love for Him will burn continuously

Scripture Reference: Isaiah 41:10
Background

In many of our lives there is a dominant one who provides the most encouragement and support in whatever we do. In my life that dominant one happens to be the Lord. He is my most valuable player and if I could give Him a gold medal I would. But I can raise my hands and wave them like a flag as I worship Him and recognize Him as number one. In Isaiah 41:10, the Lord gives assurance on how He will provide strength and help. And how He will uphold us and keep us.
