You have promised,
to save me. (John 3:16)
You have promised.
I am Your child. (John 1:12)
You have promised,
never to leave me. (Hebrews 13:7)
You have promised,
to guide me. (Psalm 23:3)
You have promised,
to be my strength and protector. (Psalm 28:7)
Your promises are life and breath.

How can I not praise You with thanksgiving for Your promises give life to life.

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6 NIV

Dancing Clouds

Clouds in constant movement.
Dancing to the wind.
Gossamer of golden sunshine,
Touches us with goodness.
God the choreographer of joy.

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Psalm 95:1

Waiting for Morning

Sunrise Over Wedge Mountain

When I am anxious—
And every moment brings new worries.
I remember my hope is in the Lord.
I wait for Him as watchmen wait for morning.
Longing for the Lord to come and hold me.
I quiet myself remembering the Lord’s great love.
Still I must wait.
His love will never leave me.
In stillness I wait
His mercy has shattered death and removes my shame.
In gratitude I wait
His love is better than life.
In thanksgiving I wait
His peace which surpasses all understanding guards my heart and mind,
And in His love I wait.
I rejoice in waiting,
for when He draws near, I forget about the waiting.

Growing Old

When I thought, “My foot is slipping,” 
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. 
When the cares of my heart are many, 
your consolations cheer my soul. Psalm 94:18-19 ESV

In elder years I begin to fret.
Forgetting things makes me upset.
Is this normal, a mind that’s blurry,
or do I have cause for greater worry?

I forget the date and peoples names.
I forget instructions to children’s games.
In my angst I lose my sight,
that Jesus is with me through the night.

I’m tempted to fear what may be.
Angry at God for the hardship I see.
Feelings takeover and hide the truth—
I must rely on His strength as I lose my youth.

Thankfully He’s numbered the days that groan,
and holds my hand to guide me home.
Amazing grace from above,
Embraced forever in unfailing love.

Many sorrows come to the wicked, but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the LORD. Psalm 32:10 NLT

Quiet!

Quiet has a voice,
Stronger than the guns of war,
Louder than the wail of grief.
Calling us out of our anxiety.
“Be still and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10

And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 8:9 NIV

Blessings of abounding goodness,
in the work we’ve been given to do.
Transforming life from menial,
to purveyors of life made new.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 3:10 NIV

Trials

Trials are shadows to be remembered

Then I thought, “To this I will appeal:
the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
I will consider all your works
and meditate on all your mighty deeds.” Psalm 77:10-12 NIV

In this current trial,
I will remember Your mighty deeds.
As I meditate my heart rejoices,
“How great and good are You O Lord
Your love endures forever.”

Sunset Promise

The sun dips low.
Forever gone this day,
and I must let daylight go.
Even though I wish it to stay.

But I know the one who loves me,
He will go with me through the night.
The promise of Resurrection Morning—
The coming of endless light.

We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Romans 5:5 NIV

The Gift

Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” John 4:10 NIV

If you knew the gift of God,
The forgiveness His life has won.
No darkness can prevail
over the grace through Christ that’s come.

Sing with joy for His redemptive power.
Mighty songs of those washed clean.
Smashing chains of fear and sorrow
Led forth in peace serene…

if you knew

Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. Psalm 98:1 NIV

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12 NIV

Beautiful sunrise

Beautiful sunrise,
words cannot describe.

The goodness God,
goes beyond all imagination and dreams.

Love Him, trust Him, worship Him.
For God loves with unfailing love.

“No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” 1 Cor. 2:9 NLT

For since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him! Isaiah 64:4 NLT

How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world. Psalm 31:9 NLT

Your unfailing love, O LORD, is as vast as the heavens; your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. Psalm 36:5 NLT
