Dip Into His Goodness By Brenda Drake
God hears and answers prayer. He leads and guides us to truth, and never tires of our interactions with Him. It makes life a lot easier when we are at ease in His presence and know without a shadow of doubt, He is for us not against us. We are able to call on His help day or night. He never will leave or forsake us. I love to dip into His goodness in praise and prayer.
Dip Into His Goodness
Some have discovered how to receive,
They come often for all their needs.
They know great supply is always near,
They dip into God’s goodness without fear.
Some arrive just because they love the taste,
They love the goodness of His grace.
Sometimes they come into His presence for another;
To share a morsel with a sister or brother.
When they come for another often gifts are prepared for them;
Thrills of joy and blessed peace that flows within.
As they partake and share God’s goodness others believe,
They also can His help receive.
Come and dip into God’s great provision,
Spend some special time with Him.
Consume the Word and lift words of praise and prayer,
And of His great abundance is with you shared
There is no time unacceptable, and there is no time limit set.
You can come at any time and get as close as you desire to get.
Drink in God’s goodness, dip deep in the flow,
And you’ll be filled with love that overflows
Bathe in God’s presence and you will the truth see,
That it was always God’s intention: He planned it to be.
Psalms 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is
the man that trusteth in him.
Filled to Overflow By Brenda Drake
From an empty needy soul to alive in the spirit; full and filled to overflow with the love and assurance of God. From a self-centered insecure life to a beautiful, comforting, purpose filled life; assured of a future at rest in the love and promises of God.
Filled to Overflow
Filled to overflow with God’s love and care;
Enough to satisfy yourself and enough to with others share.
A soothing peace that comforts and makes you strong;
A comforting love that has washed away all claims of wrong.
A wonderful joy that gives you a heart free to sing,
A new song, that gives glory and honor to the King.
The sweet filling of the Spirit flows from God’s throne each day,
With wondrous truth and wisdom you can freely give away.
Let the healing touch of compassion reach out to another touch.
Give way you have received and for God you do much.
Pour out and never fear you run low,
For God’s plan is He will keep filling you up so you will overflow.
Luke 5:38
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Matthew 10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

For the Benefit of the Soul by Brenda Drake
For the Benefit of the Soul
For the benefit of the soul there are things wise to do,
Things not only beneficial within but for those around you too.
Time spent in the Word makes you strong within;
But it’s also a strength that you can bestow on foe or friend.
Time spent in praise will the spirit lift;
Joy unspeakable and full of glory will be the benefit.
Time spent in prayer will move the enemy lines back;
It is a great work done that gets and keeps on the right path.
Time spent in laughter with a heart merry cause great increase too;
For in times of enjoyment there resides peace in you.
Time spent loving and forgiving one another,
Will cause life … hurting souls recover.
For the souls benefit, plant good uplifting words to the waiting ear.
Souls are built up strong when there is a good-word to hear.
Time spent in worship and in songs sweet,
Causes benefit for you are strengthened by the One that causes great increase.
Proverbs 1:5
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
The One Word I Would Proclaim By Brenda Drake
Silently Before Him By Brenda Drake
God is as close as a prayer; even closer than this. We are immediately in His presence. I love to sit silently at His feet with full knowledge He hears my innermost thoughts. I am very aware of the honor of such liberty. His love invites me in at any part of the day; whether I am in a melancholy mood or exuberantly talkative. He likes our company.
Silently Before Him
As I sit silently before my Lord, as I reverently look to Him;
His awesome majesty settles in.
The air smells sweeter and life becomes,
A precious gift that has come,
It is a privilege given to me;
I can in His presence be.
What an honor He bestows,
He looks favorably upon my soul.
Oh songs of praise I desire to sing,
To honor and give glory to Christ my King.
New words need to be created to express the love within;
For it is new every day; eternal, and never ends.
It is as astounding as forever – as I silently rest at His feet,
The love He showers down is inexpressibly sweet.
His smile upon me is like a refreshing drink of holiness,
When I come before Him I feel Heaven’s kiss.
Psalms 63:3
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
