Blessed Change

When God creates a change in you
Don't look back at what is past.
Do not mourn the former things.
Move into what in Him will last.

Listen to His voice within.
He'll lead in ways which are profound.
His direction in your life
Will create blessings which abound.

"He has made everything beautiful in its time."
Eccesiastes 3:11  Amplified Bible

Thank You, Lord, for joy-filled days,
Full of cheer beyond the norm.
In You we reach a higher plane
In all we think or can perform.

Joy's perspective is a gift
Which lifts us up and will enthuse,
Causing us to be light-hearted,
Making bright our daily views.

"The joy of the Lord is your strength."
Nehemiah 8:10  KJV

Events which come will shape our lives
And quickly make us realize
It's good to pray and lean on God.
His leading always will be wise.

He gives us footsteps which are sure.
In Him we can have confidence.
Our lives will blossom as they should
With blessings and bright consequence.

him, that, if we ask any thing according
to his will, he heareth us."

The depths of God's wisdom will always inspire
When we reach deeper, our thoughts will rise higher...
Insights, perspectives will flood through the soul,
Bringing encouragement in which to enroll.

His wisdom surpasses the world's dreary view,
Offering discernment to me and to you.
How rich the refreshing that wisdom will bring,
As waters which flow in a clear, sparkling spring.

“Understanding is a well-spring of life to those who have it."
Proverbs 16:22  Amplified Bible

You cause us to blossom, You cause us to grow,
And so many blessings on us you bestow.
We can move forward with wisdom and grace,
Allowing Your rhythm to set a new pace.

In You we're able to do what is new,
Accomplishing much and making debut.
As we move in that which You have designed,
Our lives are so blessed and so well-defined.

"The Lord will perfect that which concerns me."
Psalm 138:8  Amplified Bible

Wisdom And Change

Always when we go through change
There is something we can learn.
This is how we stretch and grow.
Experience will bring good return.

Sometimes change may challenge us.
This is when we will be stretched.
But as we choose to "measure up",
Wisdom in our lives is etched.

Gather wisdom.  Hold it close.
It will be a strong foundation,
Building in us strength and might,
Filling us with inspiration.

"Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man
who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the
man who gets understanding (drawing it forth
from God's Word and life's experiences)."
Proverbs 3:13  Amplified Bible

Promise In Each Day

Every day holds promise new,
Waiting just to be explored.
As we listen for God's voice,
On this day we will have soared.

His perspective lifts us up
To see the beauty of each day,
Brightening our very thoughts,
Filling us with "gold" to weigh.

We can "bypass" daily fray
And be filled with Heaven's gain,
Free from ordinary thoughts,
With joy more than we can contain.

"This is the day which the Lord hath made;
we will rejoice, and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24   KJV

Lovely Imprints

Our lives can leave an imprint
Of much beauty and of worth.
When we find God's path for us
His riches in us then have birth.

Potential in us comes awake
And our direction will be sure.
His design will spur us on,
His highest wisdom to procure.

Our lives will blossom with new flair
And issue forth a fragrance rare...
Lovely imprints left in hearts,
More than we know... beyond compare.

"And let the beauty and delightfulness and favor
of the Lord our God be upon us; confirm and
establish the work of our hands - yes, the
 work of our hands, confirm and establish it."
Psalm 90:17  Amplified Bible

One-Line Prayers

One-line prayers are better than none
So timing doesn't slip away.
It's better just to pray right then,
Lest we forget by end of day.

God will know our inner thoughts
And will pay heed to quiet prayer.
Though the words we speak be short,
Of caring thoughts He is aware.

Our prayers just may bring some hope,
Or confidence in place of fear.
We can leave a trail of "good",
For even short prayers God will hear.

"Let each of you esteem and look upon and be
concerned for not (merely) his own interests,
but also each for the interests of others."
Philippians 2:4  Amplified Bible

Contentment

Contentment is a blessed state...
Sunny, peaceful, calm and carefree.
Deep within our heart is cheered,
With gladness and serenity.

As we focus on the Lord
And in Him are satisfied,
Our perspective becomes rich.
Contentment's gain is multiplied.

"Godliness accompanied with contentment (that
contentment which is a sense of inward
sufficiency) is great and abundant gain."
I Timothy 6:6  Amplified Bible
