Contentment

Hilltops show miles of blessings
But content in the valley is learned
As in darkness our God lights a candle
And our steps to His pathway are turned

Not all His messages have yet been delivered
As for now He leaves some things unsaid
And the time may not be today my dear friend
For all of His mail to be read

But one day we’ll receive all that He promised
Though today is our battle with fears
In the presence of Jesus it will be forgotten
As He kneels to dry all of our tears

Not that I am speaking of being in need, for 
I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 
Philippians 4:11 ESV

By the Peace That Christ Supplies

/ pastorpete51 / 9 Comments 
 Peace beyond my understanding
And the things I do not know
His peace now guards my mind and heart
When I glimpse Heaven from here below

At Nazareth it came to Mary
To Bethlehem’s shepherds while asleep
And at the cross to thieves and soldiers
A peace that only Heaven keeps

And here in unexpected moments
When thunder and the lightning flies
Our Great Father shows His mercy
By the peace that Christ supplies


And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, 
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 ESV

Jacob’s Well

/ pastorpete51 / 3 Comments 
While everyone is working on 
Important things to do
God is not too busy 
For listening to you

And in spite of all you’ve done
Or what you’re going through
Jesus is waiting by the well
And He wants to talk to you

Alone by the well of Jacob
Jesus rests in that secret place
And He’s offering His Living Water
When we meet Him face to face

Jacob’s well was there and Jesus. tired as He was from His journey
Sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
John 4:6 ESV
