I love to think of what our world will be under the rule of Christ.  I am sure it will be much nicer than my imaginings. But the real challenge believes when our surroundings are a real mess our Lord is still the ruler of our life.  Jesus assures us He will never leave us or forsake us.  I by faith believe I am in His loving embrace right now.

In His Embrace

Life in the sunshine; not one cloud in sight,
Everything grows healthy… such a delight;
Carefree and happy with smiles wide;
Forgiven, pure, and holy deep inside.
What a lovely picture painted in words of rhyme;
It is witnessed rarely in the world’s trying times.
Fear and stress is rampant; now and then,
Even in the Church gloom and doom is moving in.
The child of God must realize.
The world-view is better observed through faith’s eyes.
Faith, that the storm clouds that looms ahead,
Are not meant to cause fear or dread
The one well prepared will be sheltered from the hard rain;
For there is healing-comforts for any unwanted pain,
Jesus, the Son of God shines His love over, in, and through you for you see,
The joy of the Lord sets you free.
Forever-life in the Son’s light is indeed up ahead.
Rejoice and give praise; even now in God’s embrace you live!

Proverbs 2:6-8
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
