“The Majesty of Our God”


Can anyone truly look at a sunset
And say that there is no God.
Or gaze inti the heavens on a starry
Night and not know that we have been blessed
By the presence of an Almighty Creator.
And then there are those billowing cloud
Formations we lay staring at as a child.
Could this be an act of chance?
Or listen to the melodious tune of a babbling
Brook as it sings on its merry journey.
God’s handiwork is all around us and His
Signature is on each of His masterpieces.
And the greatest masterpieces He ever
created was YOU and ME!
Because He created us in His Image.
To say that we have tarnished that
Image is certainly an understatement.
But just like all His other Masterpieces
We are not complete until He signs His work.
God puts His signature on YOU and ME
The day that WE receive Jesus Christ as
Our personal Savior and Lord.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time,
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
taking, as Jesus did,
this sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it,
trusting that you will make all things right,
if I surrender to your will,
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with you forever in the next.
Amen

Always Find The Time

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do,
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due,
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of CHRIST to friends,
They’d laugh at me I’d fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the LORD,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands GOD held a book;
It was the book of life,
GOD looked into his book and said
“YOUR NAME I CANNOT FIND.”
“I once was going to write it down …..
But never found the time”
