The Deadline

The deadline is here
Satan said
“You see I told you God was not going to come through “
So, am I mad at God
No.
Do I feel as He cares no more?
No.
Why am I so calm.

Because He’s given me a peace that surpasses all understanding
Things have not improved
I’ve lost every battle
But God is not dead
He said His mercy endure the forever

I still believe
One day He’ll deliver me
He’ll do it in His own way on His own time
He’s Alpha and Omega
And He doesn’t operate on a deadline.

Scripture Reference:
And the peace of God,which passé the all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7

A Simple Chat

Today was a good day, had a joyous time 
Didn’t get some increase or a prize
Something long hoped for didn’t materialize 
The day was typical except for the use of my mouth and eyes

Some people I often see and usually just wave hi as they pass by me
But this day rather than just waving, we started chatting 
And it was joyfully interesting
A simple chat sounds routine and boring 
But talking feelings out and sharing 
Makes life joyfully uplifting 

Then later I picked up phone 
Just to have a simple chat with those I’ve been meaning to call in awhile 
The simple chat turned into long conversations with much laughter 
And at the end they said the enjoyed talking to me
A simple chat, can lighten the day, and make the heart merry
And Proverbs 17:22 says…A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.

On The Other Side

On the other side of the storm
Lies a beautiful rainbow
Created by sun after the rain goes
On the other side of the clouds
Is the prettiest sunshine
That beams in warmth and beauty
On the other side of the storm
Is something so wonderful
You’d never would have imagined

When you’re going through the storm
God’s working in disguise
He knows your very need
And he’s listening to your cries
When it’s raining, then it starts to thunder
And burdens get so heavy
Does God care? You wonder

But keep on going through the storm
He’s working His plan
He knows what’s best and He has your hand
Then in the sunshine you’ll see
Something good came out of something bad
Oh how God works so mysteriously.
