The thumbprint of Heaven is on our days As we cast our eyes toward God's true ways. We serve the God of all of Humanity, And it begins with Abraham's legacy.
Faith is the anchor that tethers us together. All of us are glory-bound to make the world better. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were instructed faithfully To go and live in strange and alien country.
In faith, each of them did just as they were told. Knowing no other way but to obey the God of old. Picking up the caravan and taking along their family, Each of them traveled forward into their destiny.
Abraham's descendants would outnumber the sand on the beach, We keep this in mind as he travels to the ends we reach. Abraham was called on by the Lord to sacrifice His son, And set his eyes and his heart on following the Holy One.
Before the time that Moses conveyed the Law, Our great patriarch, Abraham, heard His righteous call. All of us have been or will be called to face our test. We are destined to pass this test along with the best.
Every step taken is a lesson in place Of how we best will receive God's grace. We must always be prepared to listen to God and go. In taking His path, we all learn how to grow.
Only by embarking on our grand journey Will we find our way to our destiny? As He guides us in the direction to go, We all learn how we're meant to grow.
Abraham and Sarah made their mistakes. Despite the wounds inflicted, God healed the heartbreaks. From Hagar came Ishmael, and seeds were sown. It grew into the strife that we have all known.
God's word was sacred in the context of redemption. The Middle East conflicts are cause for contemplation. Throughout history, there has been much outspokenness, But God, through Isaac, heals us of our brokenness.
Each of us who wants to build a healthy family Must begin with whom we have kept our community. It comes down to the mutual accountability, And from those with whom we have made our society.
If we do otherwise, our sins come at great expense. This is the truth of life without pretense. Better still to keep on God's path of life. This is the way we keep things most right.
In seeking a sacrifice that could bring a new creation, Our friendship with God brought us to the resurrection. It is by faith in God that we find our belief's navigation And life becomes greater than our imagination.

“God tested Abraham. Temptation is not meant to make us fail; it is meant to confront us with a situation out of which we emerge stronger than we were. Temptation is not the penalty of manhood; it is the glory of manhood.” – William Barclay
“By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” – Hebrews 11:8 NIV
To the bully, no one is a partner To that bully, no one is smarter. And if the smarter does not hide his mind, He'll be lucky if any part is left behind.
You find the bullies in hidden alleyways. Or if it's Lucifer, in the world's last days. Hitler and FDR threw the opposition in jail cells. Everyone knows that it isn't the news that sells.
We wash, rinse, and repeat like the canary who sang, But the wiseman gone wrong knows he'll one day hang. The poet knows it as he goes searching for his rhyme, We might all hang together if given enough time
In the darkest times, the oppression grows, Yet still, the light shines on the way to the gallows. The lucky ones still find laughter and a song. The right time comes calling them to where they belong.
The wisdom of the people didn't keep Hitler out. And though I'm not prone to fomenting doubt. Reality dances grimly when all we can see is need. This is when the demons of democracy are freed.
The strong man comes, and although it is odd, He changes the Church and supplants almighty God. Rumors and rage supplant reason in these days, And the puppets of power seek only power when they pray.
We stare upward, chain-smoking, and call on eternity. There has never been such a bloodthirsty century. There was something like fear hanging in the thick air. God help us all when we fall into Satan's snare.
It's coming and unstoppable, we feel with apprehension. While fools laugh at us as if we seek attention. Questioning why we suddenly feel as if completely alone, We beg our dear God to allow us to quietly atone.
Listen as we hear the nation's heartbeat again. Stumbling blindly, we confuse foe for friend. It's not God who sends evil to replace salvation. It is a found thing when Satan claims rectification.
The Church and politics should not have an intersection When they do, perhaps it's time for a course correction. When the Church influences the people's choices, We should make certain of what we hear as godly voices.
When people become victims of their mistaken illusions, Those speaking the truth must clear up the confusion. As Paul said, we are not to give power to tears or fear. The Spirit gives us bravery to stay in needed good cheer.
We hear tomorrow's unborn children calling As if dark-winged angels are steadily falling. The substance of this cracks across the pages, People beware, we are living in the age of rage.

“Were I to personify Justice, instead of presenting her blind, I would denominate her the goddess of fire. . . Of unbending integrity Justice should feel, hear and see; but truth alone should be the polar star by which she should shape her movements, and equity only should constrain her determinations.” – Judith Sargent Murray
Sharing the Lord with a shout, Telling the truth of what it's about. I love spending my Sundays, Lifting my life up to praise.
There is so much I have to learn. I turn the page to discern. One day at a time, I walk this walk, Doing my best to stay true to my talk.
I am a page turner, Just another lifetime learner. My eyes are set on Heaven's Son. I'll do my best to keep this done.
Jesus gave His life on the cross. It was our gain, but not His loss. Faithfulness shows us the way to good, As long as we know what's understood.
In all of my life, I've seen It can be hard to walk as a human being. From time to time, we'll make mistakes, But our Lord will heal us of our heartbreaks.
I am a page turner, Just another lifetime learner. My eyes are set on Heaven's Son. I'll do my best to keep this done.

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.” – Ayn Rand
Revival At the National Prayer Breakfast by Michael Doyle
Not too presidential to fear Hell, Trump keeps this part of our nation's tale. As revealed at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Trump supports faith, first and last.
Achievements stack on his proverbial shelf, Trump's record is open for itself. Except that the Left likes to talk it down, Never guessing that they look like clowns.
A straight opening with politics is his line. The president's Christianity differs from mine. Still, I am aware of all the good that he's done, And he actively protects believers in the Son.
With rugged integrity toward enemy and friend, This tussle of a president protects and defends. No doubt, Christianity is America's legacy. We are made by our Creator to live in liberty.
From our dear and very pristine Declaration, We find ourselves bonded to God in this nation. This is the fundamental truth we must give In teaching our youth how they are to live.
Faith and freedom are and have been necessary. There is nothing in our Founders' words to the contrary. The Bible is popular and spreading like wildfire again, We know we are living in a revival for our sacred friend.
To be and stay a great country, we must believe. It is a necessity for the blessings that we receive. Law and order depend on restraint and belief. Clamping down on trouble only gains so much relief.
Recounting success, Churches are free to speak. The Johnson Amendment is all but repealed in this streak. Our nation has the right to speak and express our beliefs, And President Trump keeps pushing our rights without grief.
Now across the face of our great nation, President Trump has called for our nation's redemption. In many ways, we are reviving the power of prayer. God's presence and power are everywhere.
