Walk Quiet

The quiet fills my soul and body

as I walk this winter water.

 

The wind murmurs in the pines on high,

the oak leaves rustle as I pass by,

the airplane drones up in the sky,

the blue jay squawks as he and I

go through his territory.

 

Prayers flow forth:

For children, family, friends;

That those who know Him will come closer

and those who don't will hear Him say,

'I am the Truth, the Life, the Way.'

 

And may I always turn my face

to God, the Lord Creator

in times of hardship in my life

and in this quiet place.

 

 

 

 



Astounding Reds

 

 

Have you ever seen a ruby throated hummingbird?

A wondrous testament of God's creative power.

The intricate beauty astounds;

The brilliance compounds

as it dips and whirls

displaying its exotic beauty all around.

 

What a God we have.

Makes galaxies so high

and little birds that fly...

All for us.

Imagine what awaits

beyond heaven's gates!

 

 



Fly United

I love watching the sun rise

and the shadows chase away;

Sitting in my breakfast nook

reading God's Word at the break of day.

I'm in Ephesians 1:3 where Paul says:

Christ has blessed us

with all spiritual blessings

in heavenly places.

 

I think on that, as the sun climbs higher;

Earthly high places are the sky

the heavens, the universe.

But spiritual high places lift us higher,

lift our spirits into His heavenlies.

 

Oh, I'll soar with Him today

and thank Him for taking me away

into His high places!

 

 

 

 

I peeked ahead and what did I see

that Paul said later in Ephesians?

 

It's not just me sitting there above:

Jesus Christ is there with me.

 

And not just there all by ourselves!

It's you and I raised up in love

seated together

in those heavenly places!

 

Come fly with me!

 

 

 

You say 'No way, that can't be me.

I'm too far gone, too far away.'

 

Well verse 2:5 here addresses that

It's just by grace we're saved,

by grace we're raised

together with Christ!

 

And 2:13 says we're brought close

by Jesus' blood we are made whole.

 

So you can fly

with healed spirit and soul.

 

We're called to be one body (4:4),

one spirit with Him, one Hope.

 

We work on this earth together

and fly the heavenly skies united

in Jesus Christ our Lord!
