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

The Fear Of The Lord

I’m so in shock, I shake
Your miraculous powers leave me afraid
It was only yesterday when I looked to the sky and prayed
And you gave my dream blessing today

I walk slowly in disbelief
Lord, are You really giving this to me?
It’s been over a year
Many disappointments, many tears
I knew I needed a miracle
And I was willing to settle
If You only gave me this or that
But You not only gave, You fulfilled a dream
And You did it so fast, it’s hard to believe

You are beyond awesome
Your power is beyond wonder
I tremble at Your workings and ability
God You are real, so real to me.

Scripture Reference

Ephesians 3:20, Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 3:21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

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.
