Seeking Mercy ~ Verses

Hurting people all around,
 I hear your pain, I know the sound.
I pray for everyone of you tonight,
that God will shed upon you His light.

I know your hurts are for real,
you cannot help what you feel.
I know that God hears you too,
but, yet you don’t know what to do.

In this world that takes and takes,
there is no room for your mistakes.
If you believe and trust in God,
you to them are a fake and fraud.

We’re not perfect, God knows this,
and for this reason the mark we miss.
But, we will rise above our fall,
try again, even if we have to crawl.

Our Lord Jesus saves us from,
the pounding beat of Satan’s drum.
For it is His will ~ that we seek,
and His strong, are the world’s weak.

1 Corinthians 4:10
King James Verson

We are fools for Christ’s sake,
but ye are wise in Christ;
we are weak, but ye are strong;
ye are honourable, but we are despised.

Seeking Joy ~ Verses

A Simple, Easy, Joy

A simple, easy joy,
a feeling full of bliss
an elation that I feel
a wonder not to miss.

A simple, calming feeling,
a happiness inside me
a serenity deep within
a heart full of glee.

A simple, warming feeling,
a joyfulness all around
a delight in every way
a tranquility to be found.

A simple, easy joy,
a feeling like no other kind,
a gladness when His peace
fills my heart and mind!

Seeking The Walk ~ Verses

I walk the walk of faith,
hand in hand with my Lord
and in my heart His word
I have put away and stored.

I trust and I believe,
He is always here with me
though at times it is dark
His light helps me to see.

When I falter in my belief,
and I’m not sure of the way
I rely on Him to be with me
and to hear me when I pray.

I know He’s always next to me,
and I’m never all alone
even though there are times
when I feel I’m on my own.

This walk of faith is simple,
but sometimes I make it hard
and when I take away the trust
my hopes get somewhat jarred.

I know I must be faithful,
to walk this walk with Him
for where there is not a doubt
His light won’t fade or dim!

Psalms 119: 129-130

” Your testimonies are wonderful;
Therefore my soul keeps them.
The entrance of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple.”

Seeking The Lord ~ Verses

Seek first the Kingdom of God,
keep your eyes on the things above
seek God with all your soul
and be filled with His mercy and love.

Seek the Lord with your whole heart,
let your requests be made known
seek after His holy righteousness
and your prayers will reach His throne.

Seek the Lord and do good,
diligently search out His living Word
wait for Him at wisdom’s gate
and He’ll shepherd you into His herd.

Seek the Lord and obey Him,
pursue peace in fairness and truth
seek the same God you have known
from the days of your youth.

Seek to be justified by Christ,
track down His name and His face
seek after His salvation
and you will find His amazing grace.

Seek God for all your strength,
and you will no longer be weak
but first you must remember
to seek . . . seek . . . seek!

Hello

Hello, to all of you who seek the Lord.

Isn’t seeking the Lord exciting? Isn’t something that gives you a warm and cozy feeling? It does me. When I walk away after spending time seeking the Lord, I feel joyful, I feel like the weight of the world has been taking off me. I walk away knowIng  that EVERYTHING is in His control.

One of my favorite Bible verses on seeking the Lord is Psalm 27:8 “When You said, “Seek My face, “My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

To seek God’s face, to get a close look at Him and to see who He really is, can only be done when you read and study the Bible. When I do this, I come away with so much more knowledge of His wonder and power and feel so blessed that I have the opportunity to personally know my Lord and Savior.

Won’t you please seek the Lord with me, together we can find out all kinds of new and exciting things!
