"God Is My Pilot"

A number of years ago there was a saying going around. It read "God is My Co-Pilot" on many license plates. I know what was meant by it and their intentions were good (They simply meant God is this place).  However, I had a thought.  Wouldn't we be better if God was actually our Pilot, you know, first in command, guiding us through life.
I mean, if my airplane hits turbulence (trials, difficulties we face). I would revert back to God anyway because He's the only One equipped to handle our problems.  For me, I'd rather have God driving because He knows where all the curves are in the road (trials, struggles we go through in this life). God is NEVER caught off guard by anything we do or say. God is the expert on handling life's problems. The Good News is that we can draw our strength from God.
"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"-Isaiah 40:30-31. We all get tired at times.  But remember God's power and strength never diminishes. He is never to busy or too tired to help and listen. His strength is our strength. When we feel all of life closing in on you and cannot take another step, remember that you can call upon God to renew your strength. "The Joy of the Lord is our strength"-Nehemiah 8:10. Hoping in the Lord is expecting that His Promise of strength will help us to rise above life's distractions and difficulties. It means trusting in God. Trusting helps us to be prepared when He speaks to us. We would be more willing to be patient when He asks us to wait and expect Him to fulfill the Promises found in His Word. So, to sum this up; Do you want God driving your life around the curves to help avoid pitfalls, or would you rather do it yourself and take your chances?

"Peace That Matters"

"If you don't have peace just wait and see,

It is for all to receive, it's free,

The peace of this world is all too quick to go away,

But the peace I'm talking about will always stay,

You must first determine to change your direction,

And choose to take the correct action,

You will never get it all right,

And through Jesus, we are perfect in God's sight,

The fact is we all fail everyday,

The truth is that God says come anyway."

"The Eternal Secret"

"Life is full of ups and downs,

But I know a secret that may turn it all around,

It's not a quick fix or anything like that,
To be truthful, you may feel as if you've gone backwards before you know where you're at,
But, I promise, the process will be worth it all,
You will start seeing the problems become so very small,
By simply putting your Trust in Jesus above,
His arms are opened wide just waiting to share His love,
So you see, the secret I mentioned before,
It's not a big secret anymore."

"Do Our Part"

"Having discipline is a difficult thing,

When we don't have it, it causes a sting,

 God gave us the responsibility to do our part,

So pick up your boot straps and make a clean start,

Sitting there and doing nothing is not the best option,

Let's stand up on our feet and put our faith into action,

By not doing anything, a choice you decide to make,

If done for a very long could be a costly mistake,

So make a decision and do something with your life today,

And you won't be all lonely, confused and led astray,

The Lord can provide all things for us to succeed,

But we must all do our part and take the lead."

"Rumors Of A Lie"

"The thoughts of feelings right now are rummaging through my heart to blame,

And as my heart is doing so my head is doing the same,

I feel as if I have no resolution for my actions,

Not one thought stays in my brain's station,

I often feel as if I have failed my one true love,

By failing to look at You above,

My love is deeper that the depth of the ocean,

Like waves I screw it up and cause all kinds of commotion,

I want the peace that surpasses all understanding,

One that only You Jesus can give me without demanding,

My actions have left my body the words left my mouth,

Only to give you a reason to doubt,

I wish I could re-do and take each step again,

Only because I found out there was a better plan,

Lying never gets you anywhere in life,

The only thing it causes in a relationship is strife,

I have repented to you time and time again,

Only to find out what's done leaves a relentless stain,

So be careful how you speak and make amends,

If not done correctly, it could be the story at it's end."

"Going Backwards To Move Forward"

"Satan is a mastermind at making us feel worthless in life,
But I strive to know different when God says, "We are new creations in Christ",
It is sometimes very hard to get past the thought that I am nothing,
Just to get up and take a stand to prove we are something,
I am continually trying to draw my strength from You God, because I can't do it alone,
At night, I know You hear every word I think and say even the cries and moans,
Father God You are faithful to open our hearts to receive what is true,
To do what is best for us and make our lives brand-new,
But for this to happen, we must first let go,
So if we must look backward for one last glance,
Make sure it is to only move forward and not to remember the past."

"True Hope"

"Life is a journey we all must travel through,

The choices we make set the standards for how well we do,

But there is a Hope when we decide to change our course,

One most people don't know about or even understand it's source,

It is in Jesus for all can come to see,

He is awaiting patiently to meet all of your needs,

So, if you are tired of all the false hope the world has to offer,

I suggest trying Jesus, His True Hope is like none other"
