Encouragement



I am against the ropes,
I am looking for hope.
My faith in Him,
It is growing thin.
I cry out the more;
I am about to hit the floor.
It is then I see Him standing there.
It is then I see him showing such love a care.
It is not over, it is not done.
For there is a love that cannot be undone.
I lose sight but for just a moment.
I know He is with me. I know He is in it.
I can stay in this fight. I know I can win it.
The victory is His to have the glory for
I come back from the ropes… I do hit the floor.
But not in the way my opponent expects.
Not in the way that would cause him to jest.
I bend the knee and say a prayer,
It is in this that the Lord meets me there.
This fight is not over.
This fight is not done.
I have called on Him. He who has already won.
He comes on with a force so much greater than I,
For if it was me, I would surely die.
My faith and trust, though it is small, is sufficient for him to answer my call.
My opponent is buffeted, pushed back from my place.
He recoils and hides. He cannot look at his face.
The one who has stepped up in my place.
The one who can help me keep this pace.
I hear his words of encouragement now;
Stay in this fight. Don’t give in now.
For greater is He that is in you,
Than he that this world does rule.
I am with you and always will be,
Our father is watching just wait and see.
The reward is greater than you can imagine
I know you cannot see it, but believe me it’s there.
It is taking time, but it is because I care.
Hang in there, I am always fair.
Judgement is coming and final will be.
Victory is mine. Just wait and see.

    Praise God! I didn't know you wrote poetry. This is pretty good.

Continue to Strive

 We all have our own lives. For me, it has caused a stop in my posting anything for a long time. Many events have happened since I was last on here. I never forgot that I had this "blog". thank you to those who have read many of my past postings. Once again, I have something for your reading enjoyment. I may not be great at having the scriptures at hand to back my words, but I know they are scripturally sound. Combative Desires   The battle continues to rage in my mind A reprieve from this fight I cannot find Take stands for what I perceive to be true Have plenty of scripture for strength to endue But my mind I find is still on the proverbial fence The desires I have are not wrong and very intense   Examples around me seem to show a different story Lives I see being lived to give God the glory Taking a path that to me seems contrary To the truth of His word not being wary   I strive to seek guidance from a higher power And still no assurance in this present hour I ha...

Hiking and the path of life

Teen Camp 2019 @ Twin Bears Alaska. This is a place of "holy ground" for me. A place of many memories now both bitter and sweet. A place that has been used often in my life to bring about a time of God communicating with me through many of the messages. As tradition would have it, we once again hiked the Angel Rocks trail. As the years have passed, I must admit that the hike has become more of a challenge. Some would look at it and decide to stay behind and wait for the teens and "younger adults" to come back. Whether a glutton for punishment or a hard head that will not accept the passing of time, I once again headed out. Many young adults and teens sprinted off in order to be the first to reach the top. As I walked along the trail, most of the time alone, God started to pour some spiritual applications about the trail into my mind. In our spiritual walk with God, we are all heading in a direction to become more Christ-like. Just like the trail, it becomes mor...

Life's Ambitions

Prov. 16:9 A mans heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. We can often plan out our day, week, month, year, or life. We set long term goals and dreams and either head in those directions or continue to plan to achieve the outcome. There is nothing wrong with the setting of goals. However, we must not "write them in stone". How often have the ideas and plans you have set have gone awry? The life events that has been handed you, end up derailing your dreams and ambitions? It can become something that emotionally brings you down to the point of depression. You can end up loosing your temper and becoming angry at people or situations that have interrupted or brought to an end your desires. How foolish we are to think that we are in control. God allows us breath. God keeps our hearts beating. God gives us strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. Oh we can plan. We can have hopes and dreams. But please remember that they are at the mercies of God...
