 The thing that's most important in the stories that I read About our God and Father and how He did intercede To save His wayward children from the path of their pursuit To help me be more faithful though at times I must confess This thing does lose my focus when at times I face a test To emulate His character and do as He would do So others might behold this thing as present in me too Because when it is present through His precious Holy Ghost It brings His special healing in the ones who need it most And lives that once were broken are in wholeness once again And able by this one thing to be victors over sin And when this thing is present in my moments of despair When by my faith I grasp it through those moments spent in prayer The beauty and the power of this one thing that I see Adorns my soul with comfort that my God is still with me For in this thing that's often terribly misunderstood That's oft confused with mercy as the Father knew it would There's far more than abundance for the souls that seek for Him And more than just His willingness to place this thing in them Because it does encompass what His love is all about His love that from before we sinned had planned to help us out And gives to us provision to be like Him in all way Pertaining to His character for them who stop and pray That God's Grace be the anthem all the world can hear them sing That gives to them a wanting in their soul that everything God's Grace has placed before them as His stewards pure and true When they use their abundance as His Grace will lead them to To show His love and mercy and His power over sin Revealing that great miracle that molds and fashions men From what they were as sinners to what He would have them be His royal holy priesthood to live for eternity Declaring to all beings in the reaches far beyond This world where we are living that His Grace has saved us on Where all have been a watching to see what God's Grace can do And see if it's that precious in the lives of me and you Ephesians 2:1-10; 2 Corinthians 12-9
That Thing

 Let's pray- "Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. For I wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. You are my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge. I will sing a new song to You, O God; I will make music to You, to the One who gives victory…who delivers His servant. My sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and my daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace. Amen" Our Ambassador to Israel, Michael David Evens' comments: "There are times when people look down on us for having needs, but God never does. He is delighted when we come to Him in faith and pour out our hearts before Him. Psalm 102:16-18 "When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD." 521-525 one-line Scriptures for those of you who want to learn some more verses this week- or to review them from when they were first posted- 521- Ps. 48:14 "For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death." 522- Ps. 122:5 "The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand." 523- Job 28:28 "And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding." 524- Ps. 19:12 "Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults." 525- Ps. 95:1 "O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." Quote for today- ~ Dena Johnson Martin- "My Father sees the future. He knows what I need long before I do. His heart toward me is good, and His plan is to give me the best. But when I deliberately choose to disobey, I miss out on His best for me. . . I know I will remember that His heart toward me is always good, and I can always trust His guidance, always trust His next step for me." Words of wisdom- ~ Do you allow nature to speak to you of God? Because God created all things, they have a voice of praise for Him, (remember about the rocks that Jesus said would cry out if the people didn't give praise to Him?) When we're in need of encouragement in our walk, may we notice the created things, for they speak of the One who made them, if simply by their beauty. Look closely at a rose, for example, and notice the intricate design, and how all the parts fit together so perfectly. Seems as though we can trust such a Creator to guide us in our lives! Today's Popular post-  Harold Vaughan- The Bible instructs us to approach God with boldness, or confidence: "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" (Heb. 4:16).
