Disasters
Disasters
strike upon the land, some by God and some by man.
The
disasters of a natural force, they come from God of course.
Some however
are wicked plans, found in the evil heart of man.
Both will
have the same result, moving men into deeper thought.
At times a
quiet earth may quake, leaving destruction in its wake.
Such times
are the finger of God, touching the earth that we trod.
Disasters
will strike any nation, leaving behind much devastation.
Such disasters
are truly unkind, leaving pain and suffering behind.
Many people
escape the wrath, being far from the disasters path.
But it
should not be ignored, as they need to reflect on The Lord.
Many
disasters sure to come, were predicted by God’s own Son.
Some by God
are meant to be, signs pointing all men to Eternity.
Others
simply have their start, in man’s wicked deceptive heart,
Hearts, by
Christ, we were told, in the end would only grow cold.
But all the
tragedy soon will end, when to the earth Christ is sent.
Man has
become so depraved, without Christ none will be saved.
Even the
earth groans in pain, eager to be purged from sin’s stain.
As tragic as
these disasters are, the end will be much worse by far.
For during
the Great Tribulation, wrath will pour upon every nation.
As God’s
final Judgment’s poured, on all men who reject The Lord.

God's
Creation
God’s tiny
creatures are everywhere, on all the lands and in the air.
Everywhere
you look there’s proof, of God’s Creation and His Truth.
Various
creatures in a wide array, are on this earth and on display.
Placed by
God for all men to see, while pointing hearts to eternity.
They are
placed by God’s hand, as evidence to help all understand,
That all of
creation is of The Lord, and it is a truth, not to be ignored.
As all will
stand before The Creator, but do all accept Him as Savior?
The Truth
alone will judge all men, as all theories will be condemned.
Men may deny
all of God’s Truth, but they will stand without excuse.
For God says
through revelation, Truth is stamped on His Creation.
Learned men
can not comprehend, real truth, not devised by them.
And God’s
Truth stands on its own, and it exists through God alone.
All God’s
Truth and eternal design, goes far above the learned mind.
It’s only
simple faith that you need, to look at creation and to believe,
That The
Eternal God created it all, for man all alone is awfully small.
And the
man’s mind is smaller still, that continues to reject God’s will.
God’s
existence does not need man, but we were put into God’s plan.
God will
continue on, they will see; continue on through all of Eternity.
It’s those
who reject God’s Creation, who can’t embrace His Salvation.
But they
will understand and will see, that He’s The God of all Eternity.

Vain
Imagination
Evolution deceived a generation with nothing more
than imagination.
Man's bogus claims of this senility make his science pure futility.
Life is too complex is what they whine, so there must be a design.
They hit the nail on the head but chose to believe that God is dead.
Their heart says God's behind it all but they just continue to fall.
Their empty theory of deception, has always been Satan's intention.
Clutching onto this theory of evolution is a problem not a solution.
Evolution as a forgone conclusion is just part of Satan's delusion.
We hear what they believe and say only to hear it change day by day.
In The Bible they will find, God is not a man who changes His mind.
This theory is but one-century-old, so how can the fools be so bold?
Yes, fools I say with a nod, for only the fool says there is no God.
In The Bible they could read, and see He's an Awesome God is indeed.
It's been here thousands of years, and only The Bible has no peers.
The fact of creation is plain to see but they choose to be deceived.
God doesn't need any proof, by creation alone they're without excuse.
Man just does what he pleases while ignoring The Lord Christ Jesus.
They can't go on ignoring Jesus, for He alone was sent to redeem us.
Not only is creation evident, but the Creator himself is benevolent.
He showed His love at one event, when to the cross His Son He sent.

Created For Him
Bright and
blue above is the sky, painted by Him, who sits on high,
It hangs
above earth as a canopy, as far above as the eye can see.
God placed
the sun for all to see, indeed high above earth’s canopy.
It’s not
only a light for us to see, but it warms earth for you and me.
Along with
the bright daytime light, He placed the moon in the night.
To
complement the sky at night, God made the moon a lesser light.
Each night
it shows a different phase, marking out a month of days.
God filled
the night time canopy, with all the stars that you can see.
Stars He
placed in constellations, as a witness unto all the nations.
Each star
placed by His reasons, which mark out a year of seasons.
God sends
the clouds in the sky, whenever the ground below is dry.
Rain then
falls to the earth below, allowing all the greenery to grow,
It collects
as water for you and me, and all the rest flows to the sea.
There the
waters God shall store, retaining the oceans by the shore.
Protecting
for us all the dry land; the part of earth God gave to man,
To work all
of the earthly fields, while living off the greenery it yields.
On the stewards
of earth below, abundant blessings God will bestow.
Friend, from
the earth to the sky, all things point to The Lord on high.
All things
are sustained in Christ, God’s Son who died as a sacrifice.
The entire
world was made for Him, Christ our Lord who died for sin.
And as The
Lord of all creation, God offers to men Eternal Salvation.
All men who
come to Jesus Christ, by God are granted Eternal Life.
And as this
earth does pass away, the man in Christ will forever stay.
No longer on
the earth to roam, as Christ prepared an Eternal Home.
As the sun,
stars and moon wane, those in Christ will forever remain.

Sadly
Deceived
Today people
are sadly deceived, by the issues men have conceived,
Believing
theories construed by man, on issues they don’t understand.
Pointing to
issues deep in the heart, playing upon fear right at the start,
Warning
peoples of peril up ahead, filling hearts with fear and a dread.
Never do
they look unto The Creator, Who is earth’s ultimate sustainer,
Not
understanding all God ordained, through all ages will be sustained.
Giving God
no thought or room, while painting scenarios of utter doom,
Denying The
God of all of creation, as they lean on their on inclination.
They don’t
understand who’s in control, of all the earth and every soul.
The theories
these men fabricate, will not change this world or its fate.
The world
created by a Flawless God, reigning above with an iron rod,
Where He
laughs and scoffs at men; of the little that they comprehend.
They are big
thinkers in their own eyes, but in God’s are far from wise,
Saying all
life on earth shall end, because of global warming my friend.
A problem
created on the earth by us, simple men created out of dust,
Cannot
frustrate the Eternal Plan, of God Who created earth and man.
God doesn’t
need man’s puny mind, to critique and change His design.
He needs to
prepare for the day; earth is purged in God’s planned way,
By getting
on God’s only plan, embracing not earth but the Son of Man.
If they
choose never to believe, eternally they’ll remain sadly deceived.

He Fills The
Earth
He created all the mountains and owns the cattle on
all the hills.
Indeed all the earth, the sky, and heavens The Lord Almighty fills.
As earth's Sovereign Creator, He speaks and does whatever He wills.
And during each and every single moment His spoken Word He fulfills.
He created all that's on the earth, yes every single living creature,
Nothing at all was left to chance, as He designed every tiny feature.
He knows each and every creature, even your old science teacher,
Man He made totally accountable, so best give ear to your preacher.
He put man in a special position as the head of all God's creation,
But when asked to obey just one rule, he opted for rationalization.
Today the effect of that original sin is felt by every single nation.
Man's sin is the very reason that Christ was willed as our salvation.
Friend the wages of this sin is death and there's not one exception,
However, through God's love He has willed Jesus to be our exemption.
Jesus alone died in our place to pay the price for Satan's deception.
So as believers we have Hope as we wait eagerly for our redemption.
And for those who are not waiting for Him there is no place to hide,
For Christ's Blood bought the whole world on the cross when He died.
Heaven is His Throne and earth is His footstool for God has not lied,
Judgment is ahead for His enemies, as God's Justice won't be denied.

Predictors
of Doom
It is so
nice to know what will be, this, before we step into eternity,
With many
hearts filled with fear, about a future that’s not so clear.
And while we
remain down here, in Christ we live without any fear,
Knowing He’s
in complete control, of all things, both big and small.
As
prognosticators play on fear, we know The Lord is always near,
As they
predict the earth’s demise, The Lord rules above the skies.
With their
scenarios of darker days, it begs a question to be raised,
If soon
we’ll be at the end of life, why don’t they point men to Christ?
The changes
that these men see, won’t hinder The God of Eternity,
The Creator
and Sustainer friend, made an earth that will never end.
Our God
shall make all things new, without any help from me or you.
Making a new
Heaven and earth, replacing doom with a joyful mirth.
Could they
just be smaller signs, pointing all men to the end times?
When all
will see bigger things, as every eye sees the King of kings.
They said it
was Christians whom, preached all the end time doom,
But that is
God’s Truth before, believers see His Glory forevermore.
They speak
of what they must do, to save the earth for me and you,
Men of money
they endear, to stage off changes in the atmosphere.
If it’s left
alone, these men decry, every life upon this earth shall die.
But unless
they accept The Lord, they shall see gloom forevermore.

And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all
mankind together will see it.
For the mouth of the
LORD has spoken.” A voice says, “Cry out.” And I
said, “What shall I cry?” “All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the
field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because
the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the
people are grass. The grass withers and the flowers
fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his
hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off
the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth
in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales
and the hills in a balance? Who has understood the
mind of the LORD, or instructed him as his
counselor?
Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten him,
and who
taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him
knowledge or showed him the path of understanding?
Surely the nations are like a drop in a
bucket; they
are regarded as dust on the scales; he weighs
the islands as though they were fine dust.
(Isaiah 40:5-8, 12-15)
Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot
in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand and
the rulers gather together against the LORD and
against his Anointed One. “Let us
break their
chains,” they say, “and throw off their fetters.”
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord
scoffs at them. Then he rebukes them in his
anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
“I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.”
I will proclaim the decree of the LORD:
He said to me, “You are my Son; today I
have become your Father. Ask of me, and
I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
You will rule them with an iron scepter;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned,
you rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with
fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your
way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
(Psalm 1)
But as for me,
I watch in hope for the LORD,
I wait for God my Savior;
My God will hear me.
(Micah 7:7)
In Christ’s Love,
