With divine insight, subtle maneuvers

of Faith can guide us… on a daily basis;

God’s promises and principles keep us…

safely grounded in His spiritual oasis.



God’s challenge to us is… to trust Him;

His Son paid the heavy cost of Salvation,

whereby all of Mankind may have inclusion

as a family member… of an eternal Nation.

 

 

 

Author notes

 

Inspired by:

Psa 91; Eccl 9; Heb 11:6; John 3:16 …

We’re definitely blessed,

to know that we’re not…

blown about, like chaff;

if we perform, as taught,



then we’ll steer clear of

the ungodly, their counsel

and unforeseen troubles.

Via Jehovah’s holy council,



we delight in His Tenets,

Law, Principles, New Mercies

and Grace everyday; our lives

are planted as… sturdy trees



beside Christ’s fresh rivers

of everlasting, living waters;…

Emotional scars, not wounds, document

the totality of my Life experiences;

even though my spirit hasn’t yet shed

its temporary, earthly encasement,



this fleshly clay of human brokenness

cautions me to always be ever mindful

of my blessed Lord and His sacrifice.

Pretending to overlook the preciousness



of this gift of Life, that was bestowed

to me, was an act of absolute foolishness

that kept me apart from Him; ignorance…

Best-seller Murray Pura brings two new titles to MillerWords - http://empyricaltales.blogspot.com/2016/12/cover-reveal-murray-pura.html

Unlike Moses, we should live…

with unveiled faces, letting

the Light of our Faith shine;

as His Children, we’re getting

favor among men; with clear eyes,

smiles and a bright disposition,

our efforts will be pleasing unto

The Lord, as we honor His position

as King of kings; He divinely rules

and reigns in our lives and hearts.

His holy promises remain steadfast

and His Holy Spirit will never depart

from us; as His human candles,…

One of the many secrets,

for facing Life’s adversity

is a change of perspective;

adjusting the lens, we see

things from a Heavenly view-

whereby old problems are seen

as new opportunities, teeming

brightly, unsullied by routines

of dull, antiquated thinking.

Address all challenges head on,

without any semblance of fear;

employing some spiritual brawn

ensures that final solutions

can be found and implemented;

real…

Tranquility can’t be obtained

from external sources; ultimate

peace must come from within…

one’s own soul; when trained

by the local Church, ideals

of Truth’s tenets are taught;

they’re meant to elevate our

thinking, whereby what’s real

or true… becomes much clearer.

Life is simplified as false steps

are avoided; self-confidence grows

with Faith’s maturity; when nearer

to Jehovah, our Life is enhanced!

For His peace…

Oh, those store mannequins

with their pretty, empty heads

and unending, plastic smiles,

are forever standing, never dead

on their small, well-heeled feet.

As prime examples of fortitude,

they’re ready to make a sale…

at your expense; smug attitudes

can be imagined, as they strike

poses with ease and flexibility.

Do they mirror us, as placeholders

in Life? Having potential energy,

they remain lifeless in display Hell;…

Between self-deprecation

and ideas of lowliness,

who am I to believe, that…

I’m completely unlovable?

When can I love… what God

sees in me? Is my Creator,

wrong in thinking that I…

have value? Does this flesh

prevent me from being fully…

submerged in righteousness?

I’m of the humble opinion,

that His wisdom is greater

and far more knowledgeable

than my own; His judgment

remains unquestionable; He

reigns…

The time for decisions is NOW;

for tomorrow is… not promised.

Open up your spirit to Christ;

heed the words of the psalmist

and grow by the tenets of Faith.

Now is the time for Salvation,

which is acceptable in His eyes;

Upon The holy Word’s foundation,

we’re supposed to stand, as we

fight the good fight of Faith;

so press and move forward in Him,

until reaching… Heaven’s gate.

Procrastination isn’t the answer,

for we’ll…

Three hundred sixty-five times,

we’re been instructed to not be

afraid; therefore, we’re to live

fearlessly with the revelation

knowledge of Who, God really is.

Troubles occur in Faith’s climb,

when the human ego fails to walk

within the Godly principles of

Love, Peace and Discernment; all

deal with unwanted issues, that

pop up unexpectedly. Accountability

remains; we’re liable to take stock

and be responsible for our…

Though Today’s path is uncharted,

I’m not worried; being led by Love,

shows that my trust is in the One,

Who wanted a relationship started

with me, before I actually knew

Him and the sacrifice He had made.

When I trust the plan and purpose

geared for my Life, breakthroughs

that I seek, will materialize by

the very seeds of Faith I possess;

with Him alone as my inner guide,

my soul will soar and divinely fly

as we journey…

When you… embrace His Grace,

you are made complete in Him;

the moral purity of His Word

and the power of His Presence

are sufficient for your race,

that you take alone on Earth.

He is your definitive Source,

your eternal, tireless Counsel,

your All-in-All and The Almighty.

Christ’s shed blood was worth

the sacrifice, He made for you!

Trust His Word, the finished work

on The Cross and His promises;

speak His Truth…

I had been sadly blinded

by my sinful misery,

listening to Life pass by;

Would I, be able to see

the Love that You had bestowed?

I’m stuck on this broken road;

restore my vision today,

as my purpose has been slowed.

I was like Bartimaeus,

waiting for Christ to find me;

unto Him, I cried and called;

He lovingly met my plea.

He greeted me where I was,

shunned by the neighborhood crowd;

transfixed, I stood before…

Planted by the river of Living Waters,

I remain rooted and grounded in Christ;

He provides for my thirst, my hunger,

my Salvation and my everlasting Life.

With the foundation of Biblical Truth,

I’m rooted and grounded in the Holy Word;

the application of its principles gives

my heart hope with peace that’s assured.

When walking in holiness and rectitude,

I stay rooted and grounded in God’s love;

His Essence softly embraces me with…

O Lord, my heavy heart hurts

and my tongue can’t find words

to articulate the inward pain,

as my spirit struggles to avert

reiterations of disappointment.

My thoughts of being distraught,

exhausted and overwhelmed steal

the inner peace of my contentment.

I’m humbled by my circumstances;

now I’m casting my cares upon You;

I’m reaching for Your rest, yoke

and peace, to have another chance

of moving forward with Your…
