Unbroken

 

Come and let Me
write again

the commandments
I have spoken

for I am
longsuffering

and My word remains
unbroken.

**********

The One who is longsuffering is with me.

**********

“And the LORD said to Moses, ‘Cut two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I will write on these tablets the words that were on the first tablets which you broke.”

“And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, ‘The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth . . .’ “

Exodus 34:1,6 NKJV

Finding Grace

 

Finding grace
in Your sight

doesn’t entitle me
to more than the next

but means I have
the promise

of Your Presence
and rest.

**********

The One who gives the grace of His Presence and rest is with me.

**********

“Now therefore I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”

“And He said, ‘My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.’ “

Exodus 33:13,14 NKJV

That Which Can’t Be Shaken

 

All that can be shaken
will be shaken

until only the unmovable
remains

so let us have grace
as we serve our God

with reverence for
His name.

**********

I am receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, for You are with me.

**********

“Now this, ‘Yet once more’, indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.”

“Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.”

“For our God is a consuming fire.”

Hebrews 12:27,28,29 NKJV

Throne Of Grace

 

Let us come now
to His throne

do not hesitate
but run

that we may receive
mercy and grace

from our High Priest
Jesus the Son.

**********

I can obtain mercy and grace for You are with me.

**********

“For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.”

“Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain each and find grace to help in time of need.”

Hebrews 4:15,16. NKJV

Heirs Of Hope

 

We’ve been justified
by His grace

heirs to the hope
of eternal life

though we too
we’re once deceived

now the Spirit’s poured on us
through Jesus Christ.

**********

I am an heir to hope for You are with me.

**********

“For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived . . .”

“But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared “

“not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit “

“whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,”

“that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.”

Titus 3:3,4,5,6,7. NKJV

for the gospel

bringing forth His power
and praise.

I can suffer for the gospel according to Your power, for You are with me.

***********

“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,”

The Spirit Of Grace

 

I will destroy
all the nations

that come against
Jerusalem

pouring out
My Spirit of grace

so you know who
I really am.

**********

I can pray for my nation, for You are with me.

**********

“It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

The Goal

 

Love
from a pure heart

from a good conscience
from sincere faith

not giving need to
senseless disputes

but to godly edification
and grace.

***********

I can follow good godly instruction for You are with me.

**********

“. . .nor to pay attention to legends (fables, myths), and endless genealogies, which give rise to useless speculation and meaningless arguments rather than advancing God’s program of instruction which is grounded in faith [and requires surrendering the entire self to God in absolute trust and confidence].”

“But the goal of our instruction is love [which springs] from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”

1 Timothy 1:4,5 AMP
