Earth and Sky Are Bigger

/ pastorpete51 / 6 Comments 
I've heard our earth is just a speck
In this universe so grand
And we are just a candle's flame
On this tiny grain of sand

But then I hear a chorus
Ringing deep down in my heart
Saying earth and sky are bigger
Than what folks think they are

And my hope rests on God's promise
That He who shepherds lambs 
And formed mighty the Milky Way
Holds us safely in His hands

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me.
John 10:14

His Face I Clearly See

/ pastorpete51 / 5 Comments 

Into creation’s workshop
Before the night and day
God strode onto the scene
And flicked on the sun’s first ray

And paused to smile and sit awhile
As He watched the darkness flee
Then spread out all His many tools
And drew up plans for you and me

Next, God chose an unroofed stable 
Where cows and chickens are
And in the center put a manger
So His Son could see the stars

Now through the long years of my life
That Hope still shines in me
And by starlight from so long ago
His face I clearly see

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. Genesis 1:3 ESV

Even Through the Days of Rain

/ pastorpete51 / 2 Comments 
Aches and pains knocked on my door
And stayed an hour yesterday
Like every uninvited guest
They demanded their own way 

Just as I wondered what was next
 They tired of their game
And slipped out then down the street
Leaving quiet here again

So, I begged God "Please lock my door
Before they come to stay!"
But He answered only "Robins sing
 Even through the days of rain."

But I am afflicted and in pain;
    let your salvation, O God, set me on high!
I will praise the name of God with a song;
    I will magnify him with thanksgiving.
Psalm 69:29-30 ESV
