A walk in the garden.

Sunday Aug. 3 Positive thinking.

1Sam 17:4-51. Eph. 6:10-18

In life there will be a fight.

Overwhelming in worlds sight.

Knowing where the enemy’s from.

Reveals the fight can be won.

For God your father is on your side.

Don’t be scared and go and hide.

Stand firm in the Lord.

From belt of truth to the sword.

Your righteousness now in place.

Peaceful faith will fill your days.

Your spirit sure as you pray.

Help me Lord to win this day.

Pondering.

Mathew 13:24-51

vs 24

Gods good seed was first sown.

Then satan’s weeds became known.

This caused some doubt.

Should the whole be thrown out.

The Lord says far better ignored.

Could kill what I restored.

Wait until the harvest time.

Then I’ll claim what is mine.

vs 31

Remember from small beginnings

Grow such large amazing things.

Heavens kingdom on earth

From such a small seed at birth.

vs 33

Another story was then told.

How a small ingredient could hold.

Influence over the whole.

Your body, spirit and soul.

Deut. 30-32

I have lived life nearly out.

Have seen what it’s all about

That Salvation cannot be earned.

To the Lord I have returned.

To again sit with him.

Holy Spirit now dwells within.

As I choose to now depend upon.

The word where hope comes from.

Future I now do see.

Clear and obvious to me.

Jesus in this world will lead.

Suppling my every need.

So now can be strong.

For l know to whom I belong.

But still can be a foolish clown.

And let the Lord down.

Yet when facing a disaster.

Can turn again to my master.

He will forgive and renew.

Be with me in all l do.

Now I can write a song.

Showing to who l belong.

His blessings I do see.

His loved poured out on me.

He is my solid rock.

I depend on him a lot.

Just and faithful all day long

How l praise him now in song

Upright and just is he

How happy I am to be.

With his hand in my hand.

Did flee that desert land.

Though always must beware.

Of falling prey to next snare.

Deut. 28-29

There is a narrow path to follow.

Any other path will prove hollow.

Choose well is Gods advice.

All things will then turn out nice.

Choose to not listen or to obey.

Then wonder why things go astray.

Though so often you saw.

How he rescued you before.

So always you must be aware.

And remain under the Lords care.

Mth. 13:47-58

God casts out his net.

All have at sometime him met.

If then in the end they believe.

That determines what they receive.

A store house of new and the old.

Teaches his disciples to be bold.

Even when then rejected by.

Them saying you’re just a local guy.

With oaths that are binding.

To do right in Gods sight.

For all men to be totally free.

But you must beware.

Of deceivers who do not care.

Can always have a safe place.

Careful you don’t condemn.

In case they’re innocent men.

Remember who you are before.

Going into war.

Kill enemies who within abide.

In your land that is free.

Will not remain reborn.

Seed on the good ground

Grows so fruit abound
