Trust and obey, for there’s no other way,
not for a month or a week or a day,
it’s a life-long commitment to bear his name:
part-time players are out of the game.
Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
I think this turn of phrase has gone a bit too far.
There is no glamor, no personal fame
because war and hell are exactly the same.
Standing on the promises of Christ my king,
taking him at his word to bring
peace on earth, goodwill to men,
a chance to start all over again.
O God, our help in ages past,
how long, good Lord, will evil last,
the kind that tears apart our land,
condemns each woman, child and man
to suffer the pain of power and greed,
that refuses to speak to human need.
O God, our hope for years to come,
must we live on evil’s crumbs.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine.
So why do you whimper, complain and whine?
If Jesus really belongs to you,
should not that determine what you say or do?
Just some thoughts for your meditation today.
Receive the blessing, then become the blessing.
Shining Spirit
