How Can Faith Grow?

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
How can faith be
Like a bird in the air
Who wings without worry
And rests in God's care?

Or the faith of the woman 
Who was caught in her sin
And just silently waited
To find He won't condemn

Or the faith on the seas
As Christ slept in the storm
Till they cried out in fear
Shouting "Save us from harm!"

Then he rose and commanded
Winds and waves by His word
For in storms our faith grows
When we find Christ as our Lord!

And That was That on Easter!

And That Was That

They sealed Him in the grave
And that
Was that

And soldiers sent to guard
Stood back
To back

All through the second day
All Hope
Seemed black

Till on that Sunday morn
They heard
A crack

The tomb was opened wide
To show
The fact

That Jesus Christ was free
From death’s
Dark Pact

And Mary heard His voice
It echoed
Back

To tell the mighty news
And that
Was that!

 So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes. The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive? Luke 24:3-5 NLT

Anxious for Nothing!

Be anxious for nothing
Wrote Saint Paul from the jail
Give God every worry each fear and detail
Remember to thank Him and praise from your heart
For He has been watching our life from the start

And He answers with peace greater than we can know
His love gives us rest
In Christ Jesus we hope

So if you are passing through sorrows and tests
Put it all in His hands
Only God knows what's best!
