Don't ignore God's whisper
Should He intercept your day.
Seal His words unto your heart
And from them do not stray.

His timing is precise and wise
And always is "a plus".
He guides us with a loving hand
And gives His best in care for us.

"For He will give His angels (especial) charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways (of obedience and service)."
Psalm 91:11  Amplified Bible

The Lord desires to be heard
And by His words that we be stirred.
He will make the heart rejoice.
Pause to listen for His voice....

A voice of love, a voice of caring,
Radiant inspiration sharing,
Bringing depth within the heart,
Glorious wisdom to impart.

"Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee."

In the Lord we will find joy
And happiness we can employ.
No matter what our circumstance,
Our days with cheer He will enhance.

He gives perspective which is new
And insights with a heavenly hue
So we may rise above earth's "din"
And know his joy deep down within.

"You will show me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."      Psalm 16:11  Amplified Bible

The depth of God's Word has unending "store"
Which can be mined so many times o'er.
It never grows old... is never outdated.
Its worth and its power cannot be debated.

All of its wisdom is far beyond measure.
Knowing it well is life's greatest treasure.
The more that we study, its depths to explore,
The more we'll discover its bright, golden "store".

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

Each day new blessings for us wait,
God's goodness to anticipate.
As we seek Him we will find
Purpose by His hand designed.

Every day is filled with gold,
Our lives to change and lift and mold.
If we will look up and believe,
A flood of blessings we'll receive.

"The Lord is good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him."
Lamentations 3:25   KJV

Though things around us change or tremble
In the Lord we can be steady.
Standing strong we will not fear.
He strengthens us and makes us ready.

When we follow where He leads
We are sheltered and protected.
All our footsteps will be sure
And in Him will be perfected.

"He makes my feet like hinds' feet (able to stand firmly or make progress on the dangerous heights of testing and trouble);  He sets me securely upon my high places."         Psalm 18:33  Amplified Bible

When we're focused on the Lord
He gives us many thoughts to ponder...
Food and thought for each new day
So our time we do not squander.

Without this focus we're soon "lost",
And cluttered thoughts will rob our day.
Good focus guards against this loss
So we don't miss what God would say.

"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up."          Psalm 5:3   KJV

A loving gardener good seed sows.
From within him goodness flows
And brings results which have high yield.
God brings blessings on his "field".

If we'll follow as God leads,
He'll cause us to plant many seeds.
We'll meet His deepest heart's desire...
Many people to inspire.

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."          Matthew 5:16   KJV

In the stillness of God's presence
There is comfort, there is grace...
An all-pervading peacefulness
For anything that we might face.

In His presence is deep rest.
To linger there is as a gift...
A healing touch for all life's need
And gladsomeness, our lives to lift.

"And the Lord said, My Presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest."
Exodus 33:14  Amplified Bible

Loving thoughts and faithful prayer
Leave trails of blessing everywhere,
Spreading goodness to and fro,
Heaven’s blessings to bestow.

Prayer is a blessed “work”,
One which we should never shirk.
Faithful time in prayer each day
Brings answers found no other way.

“Rejoice evermore.  Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
I Thessalonians 5:16-18   KJV
