Jehovah Jireh

Jehovah jireh, God will provide
Words so easily spoken until faith is tried
Who doesn’t believe that Elohim, King of kings
Is able to do great and powerful things?

When a river flows in the desert
Ten thousand sing His praises
Yet the sound of their voices change
When again the drought again rages

El Shaddai has left us!
He’s a God of sudden whims!
They shout, Curse God and die!
Just as Job’s wife once counseled him.

Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?
The simple question Job asked
Your reaction is foolish, woman
Through calamity can you not stand fast?

The Lord giveth and He taketh away;
May the name of the Lord be praised.
Naked I will leave this earth some day
For it was naked that I came

All that we have and treasure
Was not acquired by our strength alone
Even the children of our wombs
Were given to us on loan

All that we have belongs to Him
To do with as He see fit
Rest assured it is not some whim
But a plan we can be part of if we’ll simply submit

Isaiah 61

Isaiah 61 verses 1,2, & 3 The Spirit of the Lord  God  is upon me; because the  Lord  hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;   To proclaim the acceptable year of the  Lord , and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;   To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the  Lord , that he might be glorified. Words Inspired by Isaiah 61 I've climbed mountains and I've walked through valleys I've fallen into pits and gotten lost in caves But no matter how bad it gets or how far I've gone astray Just in the nick of time Jesus saves His hand guides me back to the path I left The light of His l

Opportunities

A lonely boy headed to nowhere fast. Taking the much walked road running from his past. Going towards disaster. Every failure makes him faster. Till he’s almost out of sight. Hidden by the darkness of night. Trudging through the woods like homeless seeking refuge. Standing beneath a tree as the rains deluge. Will he survive the harshness of life? Can he move on and lay aside his strife? Are the wounds on his knees the only thing he sees? As he leans against the tree, his heart longing to be free, does he know that there is more? A better life God has in store? Just a solitary child, largest smile, spirit mild. Simply asking for some love. Raising her head she looks above. Searching across the skies but no help in sight, a little more of her dies. She’s suffering, hurting, crying, begging. Just wanting someone to hold her. Let her cry on their shoulder. Tell her “girl, I love you.” Not cheap words but feelings true. For too often she’s seen those with eyes glowing green. As they ch

Standing Out

People are searching for something bold They struggle to defy the common mold To be an original is the ultimate mission As though nothing we have was taught or given They don’t comprehend the simple mysteries Like the greatest of all is the least of these They can’t see the tree with roots stretched to the sky Can’t understand how that to live we must die Perceiving not how to stand our knees Confused by saying all men are like trees They seek answers to questions they can’t state Solutions to problems impossible to formulate Sacrifice to them is great loss They don’t see a trophy only a cross When  the warfare begins They see more fails than wins Not knowing what armor to wear They entered the battle unprepared Because they didn't ever study They don’t recognize the enemy Defeat becomes a constant trend Till death puts the war to end For with eyes not seeing and ears that don’t hear There seems to be nothing special here So how c
