LOOK AND TRUST  

HEBREWS 12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; …

TITUS 2:13  Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

ISAIAH 45:22  Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

NAHUM 1:7  The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

MICAH 7:19  … he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

PSALM 91:2   I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

WHERE IS MY HOME?

HEBREWS 11:10,16  10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 16 … desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

JOHN 14:2  In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

HEBREWS 12:22  …  come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, …,

EPHESIANS 2:19  … ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

ROMANS 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

GALATIANS 3:26,29  26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs …

COLOSSIANS 3:1-2  1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

ANY FAITH OUT THERE?

HEBREWS 11:1,6  1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

ROMANS 5:1  Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

ROMANS 10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

PROVERBS 29:25  The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

PSALM 37:3  Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

1 PETER 5:7  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

MARK 11:22  A nd Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God

LUKE 18:8  …when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

LUKE 8:25  And he said unto them, Where is your faith? …

YE MUST BELIEVE

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge

I will heed your word praying not to turn to folly

Thy grace alone can make this heart to change

Should I not obtain, tis but myself I must blame.

Lord, I want confidence, truly indeed I truly do

Lord, but not in and of myself, but rather in you

My skills and knowledge are lacking at my best

Wisdom from you I seek to obtain, nothing less

VIEWING THE MOUNTAIN FROM ABOVE

Struggles are real in this life here we know,

Climbing mountains to the top from below

The challenge lies at our heart’s door within

Will you take the path of life, or path of sin?

The decision is ours, and it is ours, it is alone.

The easy pathway, or that filled with stones.

Ah, you say, the smooth path seems so right.

So perfect that one has not the need to fight.

To reach to the top of the mountain on high

So perfect one traveling it would seem to fly.

So much one need not as to put up a fight.

But please don’t’ be deceived so my friend.

It can lead your life to an untimely fatal end.

Look upon the path filled with jagged edges.

Look do you see upon also the many ledges?

Now forward go praying as you journey on

Taking Jesus hand, leaning of the Lord alone.

JOSHUA 24:15 (KJV) AND IF IT SEEM EVIL UNTO YOU TO SERVE THE LORD, CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE; WHETHER THE GODS WHICH YOUR FATHERS SERVED THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD, OR THE GODS OF THE AMORITES, IN WHOSE LAND YE DWELL: BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.

2 CORINTHIANS 6:2 (KJV) “(FOR HE SAITH, I HAVE HEARD THEE IN A TIME ACCEPTED, AND IN THE DAY OF SALVATION HAVE I SUCCURED THEE: BEHOLD, NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME; BEHOLD, NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.)”

TILL WE MEET AGAIN

The Lord our anchor this night by you and me

Now as each other’s side we must now leave

Together our hearts are entwined by love divine

We will meet again we know in just a matter of time

Trusting our Father above knows what lies ahead

All our worries to him we will gladly give instead

THE MASTERS PROMISE

This too will pass I hear my Saviour’s voice say alas.

THROUGH TEARS OF PAIN LOOK TO THE LIGHT,T

FOR THE DAWN THAT COMES AFTER THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS.

MY CHILD I AM WITH THEE THOUGH THE VALLEY BE LOW,

WILL YOU TRUST ME WHEREVER YOU SHOULD GO?

FOR I SHALL NEVER FORSAKE THE SHEEP IN MY FOLD,

IF IT WERE NOT TRUE, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU SO.

YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD FEEL THIS WAY,

BUT YOU SHALL OVERCOME THIS TOO, TO BE WITH ME ONE DAY.

THE GIFT OF A FRIEND

Each time I came to your home to visit

There we would sit and pass the time

You made me feel like family indeed

Oh, so many memories, so very divine.

You would smile and laugh so sweet

Lightening my day as we talked together

Your gentle nature shown in your eyes

Indeed, we were two birds of a feather

We were like children happy as can be

With no need to pretend with one another

Open and honest right down to our core

Treating me as had my very own mother.

You always had time to spend with me

Never possibly could there ever be again

Even when the miles separated us apart

My gentle, loving, kind beautiful friend

Remembering our good times together in past

Memories together will always bring a smile

And the love of a true friend I truly cherish,

Though we must part, it is but for a little while
