Consider the Ant

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
Go to the ant O sluggard and consider her ways and be wise. Proverbs 6:6 ESV 

Take a look at the ant 
Jesus said to me 
But it was tough when 
He wouldn’t sit still 
He was working with all his might to build 
His tiny but growing ant hill 

And it was hard to pick out just one because 
They ran together 
All through the day 
And each helped his brother Without making a fuss 
Or insisting on having his way 

One by one they piled 
Those grains of sand 
And worked with such passion and glee 
As they showed off the beauty of God's design 
To us when we look to see!

If God Cares For Birds

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment 
The sparrow safely finds his home
And the swallow builds her nest
In God’s house they find a place
They can hide when troubles press

So if God cares for little birds
And by His hands they’re blessed
How much more will He keep us 
Who to Jesus run for rest?

Even the sparrow finds a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
    my King and my God.

Psalm 84:3 ESV

The Cardinal’s Tune

/ pastorpete51 / 3 Comments 
Lord this world seems so big
And I’m here so small
And to this song that you gave me
No one’s listening at all

But when I looked out the door
To a tree down my street
I saw one red cardinal
At the top take his seat

And with all of his might
He sang out God’s tune
Then flew off in a hurry
He still had so much to do!
