A Steady Pace By Brenda Drake

       God calls us to live for Him, and to share the good news with those we meet.  Sometimes we feel our service has not accomplished much.  I am so glad God sees things differently.  He also sees the intent of our heart.  I have found myself victorious on the other side of a difficult situation I did not think I would or could undertake; only with God’s help… one step at a time.

A Steady Pace

Take one step at a time, walk at a steady pace,
And with God’s strength each obstacle face;
With a song on your heart and with God on Your mind,
With each step – one day at a time,
Your great task is accomplished you have done it again.
You finish that, that you did not desire to begin,
With God you are able, be willing and you will see,
The doors ahead open for thee.
Pick up your countenance and put on a working-face.
With joy on your heart, your future embrace.
 I AM is with you every step of the way,
I AM is the needed sunshine in your day.
You need to answer only to God above.
All you need is to fulfill His call to love,
Take time to pray and prepare to depart,
To the place-new where new beginnings start.

Hebrew 12:1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Proverbs 4:26-27
Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
 Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.,

  • Willingly I follow

I want to be led by the Spirit of God.  I want to be soft and pliable in His hands.  I used to be stubborn and strong willed desiring my will.  My God wooed me, saved me, and now He leads me each day. To Him belongs all the glory.

By God’s Spirit Led

A ring in a bull’s nose is not there to look good.
It is there to enforce it acts as it should.
It will go when the master says go and it will stop too.
It is by force persuaded on what he is to do.
God does not desire the bullish man.
He does not fit in His plans.
He desires to be followed by those who desire to come,
Without force he willingly follows after God’s Son.
Love will place another first, love will willingly serve,
Love chooses to forgive even the undeserved.
Love will lead another by their testimony and light.
It is open, pure, and honest and Christ-like.
God so loved He sent His Son, to give His life for you.
So you that received are able to give your life too.
Not because of guilt or force is your sacrifice before God placed.
The bullish man or woman will not God’s grace embrace.
The one who sees and hears truth and God’s way accepts,
Will find he is not driven by love he is by God’s Spirit led.

Psalms 32:9-10
Be ye not as the horse,
or as the mule, which have no understanding:
whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle,
lest they come near unto thee.
 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked:
but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.

1 Peter 5:6
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
