God's Timetable

God's Timetable

What we see is not all there is in Life. 

Our thoughts will never encompass all information. 

Therefore, we must always hope in God, 

Trust His actions, His timetable, and His providence. 

When you suffer, take strength in the Lord, Jesus Christ,

Take encouragement that your life matters to Him. 

Your life counts, because God sees and knows the condition of the heart within you. 

That it has received His Son as the completion of His Word.

Knowing then within He loves you,

That He will never abandon you. 

You are not alone for He will always be with you;

He cares when you hurt, 

He cares when you are lonely,

He cares when you are confused and fearful. 

He is not off in a corner of the Universe paying attention to another matter. 

He is living within your heart, 

Calling to remind you to keep your eyes upon the Lord,

For He will always be your strength in time of need.

God knows that your faith will remain strong in the struggle. 

God promises to set all things straight on that appointed day by His Timetable. 

What a celebration awaits, "Around God's Table of Grace,"

That day we look upon the Savior's Face.

Lord, guide my life that I never lose sight of the fact, "It is God's Timetable."

Here's to Our Heroes

Here's to Our Heroes

America was built on faith and togetherness,

Upon valued relationships,

And oh how God has truly blessed.

For at Her birth the founding fathers built,

A foundation,

Upon God and reinforced it in His Word,

One that would forever last.

Fear was never a part of them then,

For Freedom flowed in their veins, my friend.

In courage they pledged,

To give all until all had been given, even unto death.

Even now, in peace in death's rest,

They know the long line of courage continues,

For Freedom flows in the veins of America's very best.

The ones that hear and answer Her call,

Duty, honor, and country we pledge to protect.

Giving all until all has been given, even unto death's rest.

Lord, thank you for America's very Best,
