Struggle Not With the Promises

I struggle so sometimes, 

but Daddy has said 

I am not to struggle and fret, 

that He's already hedged the bet!  

Because of Jesus-I win...

I just gotta not quit and give in 

to the lies in my head, 

but simply stretch ahead 

like the race horse on the final turn, 

Yes,soaring higher and freer- 

that is what I yearn.  

 

So with my eyes fixed on You,

I give it all I've got, 

and take hold of Your Precious Promises 

that cannot be bought.  

I look not at what may surround, 

but only at Your Grace 

which does always abound.  

I forget my past except to rejoice 

that I am no longer captive in that place 

For at last all my cares I can cast 

into Your loving. watchful care 

Help me Abba to give You 

legal possession and 

then, just leave them there!

 

There is nothing that is 

too hard for Thee

It's written in Your Word

for all to plainly see.

You spoke that, just like

You said, "Light Be!"

And both day and night

the sun and moon give their light

shining ever so bright.

 

You created the ocean waters

then put a boundary upon the shore-

You spoke and commanded, 

"This far and no more."

Today we watch waves play on the sand

with their ebb and flow

as they still obey the command

You gave them long, long ago.

 

I am the Lord, I change not!

Have I not said, and it shall surely be?

So bring all your doubts, sorrows and pain

Simply Trust and Give them to ME!

Trust in My Goodness and like

Moses, My Glory you shall see.

For I have called you in Christ

to live and dwell in Me.

 

In Me is Life flowing abundantly

There is no shadow or lack

Trust Me my child, when I say

"I've got your back!"

 

My Plans for you my child are laid,

they are forever set in stone.

The Cornerstone gave His Life,

so that all these plans, you Can Own!

 

So, look full into the face 

of My Wondrous Love

Seek now My Wisdom

which is from Above.

 

Think not your old thoughts

of fear, lack and defeat.

But humbly come now

and sit at My Son's feet.

 

There you will find

all that you seek.

Take now His yoke 

for He is humble and meek.

 

Partner with ME and see

just how far you can go!

I desire to show you things

that you do not Yet know...

 

On the wings of My Spirit you can freely soar

Hear as I call to you to "Come up Higher!"

For it is there that you will experience "the more"

as you desire to know My Heart and to be filled with My Love and Fire!

Isaiah 55:6 (AMP)  Seek, inquire for, and require the Lord while He may be found [claiming Him by necessity and by right]; call upon Him while He is near. 

 

Jeremiah 29:11-13  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

 

Jeremiah YLT 29:13  And ye have sought Me, and have found, for ye seek Me with all your heart; 

 

1Peter 2:6-9  Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
 

2Peter 1:3-4  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
