Sounding Forth

 

The word of the Lord
rings clear from us

our faith goes
everywhere

as we turn to Him
from idols

serving God with love
and prayer.

**********

Your word sounds forth from me for You are with me.

“For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, inot only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything.”

“For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God . . .”

1 Thessalonians 1:8,9. NKJV

Empty Things

“And do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing.” 1 Samuel 12:21

I hear in this God’s utmost desire to save us from empty lives.

Thank You, Lord, for fulfilling us, blessing us and delivering us from the nothingness of life without You. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Turning To You

What once was empty
You have filled

and futile thoughts
You have stilled

what amounted to nothing
You’ve changed for good

because You love us
and said You would.
