The Lord provides for me
He gives me all I need
In pastures green, I rest
The waters are my guide
My soul, he makes me whole
His right paths lead the way
Though I experience hard times
I will not be afraid
You are my protector
Your strength brings me comfort
You have blessed me that all can see
There is so much for me
As I journey through life
I remember my friends,
Mercy and good will follow me
In God's house I will be

Choosing Light Over Darkness!
Choosing Darkness Over Light is the choice we make when we listen to the wrong voice(s). The wrong voice can simply be the voice of our own will and desires. Darkness leads us down the wrong path. It warps our perception, comprehension, and articulation. Wrong becomes right and right is all wrong.
Darkness drives us to destructive ways and rash behaviors. You have to look in the mirror and ask yourself, "What have I allowed myself to become?" There are several things that can lead us to darkness. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. I John 2:16
Darkness blinds minds from the Light. There is someone who can bring you out of darkness. 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. I Peter 2:9
Fireworks blasted and lit the skies on the 4th of July only to die down minutes later. How many people grope in darkness? Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. John 8:12
Darkness can bring bondage and prevents us from seeing afar off. The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1 Nowadays, GPS, MapQuest, and other gadgets make it easy to find our way from one point to another. Unfortunately, it is not 100% guaranteed. There are times MapQuest takes you around the world and GPS runs you into dead ends and construction work, but thank God for Jesus. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
How long will you choose to stay in Darkness? Its time to take flight to the Light!

What's the Worth?
There are times we put so much effort, time, focus, and attention in what we later find out to be the wrong places. It might be hard to believe, but some people are just stuck, stubborn, and set in their ways. What's the Worth?
Really, the truth of the matter is they're not going where you're going. They are not a piece of the puzzle no matter how hard you try or they try. Fairy tales are just that...tales What's the Worth?
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; (70 years that is and tomorrow is not promised to us) and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years (80 years), yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Proverbs 90:10 What's the Worth?
Are we wasting our time in areas we are not called to? Are we doodling our life away? Have we really come to the place where we can honestly say not my will Lord, but your will done? How many people say this, but their actions say something else? This is why the psalmist penned, So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. Proverbs 90:12 We don't have the time to just let days, weeks, and years slip away. What's the Worth?
Time is valuable. Must I align myself with you? It's not what I want, it's whats best. What's the Worth? It's only what we do for Christ that will last. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Colossians 3:17 Again, What's the Worth?
What's the Worth? A hundredfold!!! Yes, I'll take it! Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time (IN THIS LIFE, THAT IS), houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. Mark 10:28-30

The Power of Things!
Things, Things, Things! Its amazing how we feel we can live with some Things and without other Things. It's because of Things why I'm still standing today. It's because of Things why I keep pressing toward the mark. Its because of Things I lift my hands and head in thanks to Him. Its because of Things I can see clearer each day. He keeps on doing great Things for me.
Its because of Things, I win some and lose some. Its because of Things, I sing. Its because of Things, I cry. Its because of Things, I bow to Him. Its because of Things, I submit to Him. Its because of Things, I came to Christ. Its because of Things, I stay rooted and grounded in Him. Do these Things have names? Of course, they're called THINGS!
Ever ask someone what's wrong and they respond Things? Better yet, what are you thinking about...you know Things!! Just Things. There's a purpose for Things and its all good. Ever been told Things will work out, Things are getting better, or Things are working for your good? Truly there is a Power of Things. God gives us a solution of Things in Romans 8:28, And we know that all Things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Learn to embrace Things.
What shall we then say to these Things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all Things? Who shall lay any Thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Romans 8:31-33 Nay, in all these Things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:37

PICK ONE!
There are many people who want their cake and eat it too. The belief that there are two worlds, some want the best of both. Let's reflect.... How many remember Mommy, Daddy, or someone telling us you can have one or the other, but you can't have both? How hard could the decision be? One decision can take us in the right direction while another decision can take us in the wrong direction. No decision, can lead to confusion, disorientation, indecisiveness, unstableness, double-minded, stuck, bound, insecurity, etc.
For some PICKING ONE is a faith and trust thing, for another its simple obedience. Always remember it's ONE, if not you will always have a piece of something. Right-Wrong, Good-Bad, God-mammon, Your will-God's Will, Your thoughts-God's thoughts, Heaven-Hell, Cold-Hot, Yes-No, and the list goes on. You see there are no in-betweens, no maybe so'ssss. We have to make up our mind to have a made up mind!
The Prophet Elijah asked a question, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. (I Kings 18:21) Will you choose God, today? There is a saying of old, you can't have one foot in the world and one foot in the "church".
It's impossible to have two heads. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Matthew 6:24) Fickle, fickle, fickle.....I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:15) Don't be lukewarm, PICK ONE!

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve ; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell : but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15)

Looking Back to Launch Forward!!!
Often times we hear don't look back on the past. It can be associated with negativity, pain, hurt, disappointments, and so much we just want to forget. Let's erase it, it never happened. Looking back can have its advantages and disadvantages. Lot's wife help us understand the disadvantage of looking back.
Lot's family was given the directive, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed. Genesis 19:17 Following instructions are very important. Shortcuts or alterations are not permitted. The Divine Plan of God becomes sabotaged by man's deliberate disobedience. Deliberate disobedience leads to dead ends. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. Genesis 19:26
This was a quick dead end. there are some cases where the process is slower, but the results are the same....Dead End! Looking back was not profitable for Lot's wife. Yes, there are advantages to looking back. The songwriter pens, when I look back over my life and I think things over I can truly say that I've been blessed I've got a testimony.
You see, looking back can cause us to Launch Forward. Constructive meditation and reflection leads to positive change and growth. It is possible to study and learn from the past for a better present and a Launching Forward.
Another songwriter pens, look where He brought me from, look where He brought me from brought me out of darkness into His Marvelous Light, look where He brought me from. Some want to erase the past, but facing it can be key to your Launch. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time. Ecclesiastes 3:11a It's time to Launch Forward.
