LOOK TO JESUS

 

Even though I struggle,

I won't stop living.

Because moments like this,

is when I start praying.

I trust the Lord,

I won't give up.

Because of his promises,

I know there's hope.

So what he said,

he would never forsake.

So I seek the Lord,

the best decision I made.

So during these trials,

it matters how I react.

So with my emotions,

I won't panic.

He has a new plan,

so my life is not over.

So what he allows,

is to draw me closer.

It's through tribulations,

that develop perseverance.

The race set for me,

I run with endurance.

FOCUS ON TODAY

 

I forget about the past,

I leave it all behind.

What's now before me,

a new day has arrived.

It's all about today,

there's no time to waste.

There's so much to do.

and the challenges I face.

I approach this day,

like it's my last.

No matter what I do.

I'll give it my best.

My days are numbered,

just like God planned.

So my only focus,

is now what's ahead.

God is in control,

everything is in place.

One thing left to do,

is to finish the race. 

GOD'S WAY OF LIVING

 

If I read God's Word,

and trust what God said.

My faith will stand firm,

no matter what's ahead.

If I choose to live,

on God's instructions.

God will help me,

in my words and actions.

If I make God's Word,

my way of thinking.

My life will change,

to God's way of living.

If I submit to God's will,

and purpose for me.

And follow his ways,

then surely I'll see.

He'll direct my path,

led by his Spirit.

So the work I do,

is done through him.

God's plan will unfold,

based on God's time.

So any good works,

the Lord's light will shine.

JONAH AND THE BIG FISH

 

All through the Bible,

we know for sure.

That page after page,

there's truth in every scripture.

But with any Bible story,

there's something we can miss.

Like Jonah and the fish,

there's more to this.

The Lord spoke to Jonah,

he was given a mission.

A message to Ninevites,

for their sinful actions.

"Go to the city of Nineveh,

and preach against it." 

Because of their wickedness,

God had seen it.

But Jonah ran away,

with no intent to return.

He sailed for Tarshish,

to flee from the Lord.

But God did something,

that got Jonah's attention.

The big fish had a purpose,

God's plan was accomplished.
