Blessedly Assured

Thine is the kingdom, the power and gloryForever. AmenMatt.6:13 This morning this poem came as a gift to my own heart's cry, as God, through His word convicted and comforted me. I pray it does the same for you 💓🙏 So much sorrow and sickness (physically and mentally)So much corruption and carelessness,so much deception and distraction...So much more the power and glory of Godpursues and prevails! Draw near to He who loves us more than mortal mind can guessWho hems us in behind, before, with truth and righteousnessWho IS steadfast and does not leave or forsake us, like weWhose thoughts are easy to deceive when fixed on what we see Trust in the Lord who knows our need; beyond Thought’s repertoireGod’s goodness and mercy exceed our most noble desireTrust in the Lord with all your heart; in His promises baskFor He is able to impart more than we think to ask When we are tempted to despair, where wickedness is grimCall upon God in earnest prayer, for a mind stayed on HimIn spite of all that we cannot appease or understandBeyond man’s meager Scope of Thought God IS in full command His Sovereign Order does not cease; He is holy and justAnd He will keep in perfect peace, the mind of steadfast trustThough what we see appears to be in utter disrepairThe Father of humanity is constant in His care The Author and Perfector of faith’s proving intercedesThe grace He grants always enough to meet the hour’s needsThough grief and pain and loss molest, while scorners jeer and winkSoon faith’s brief sojourn will be blessed in ways we cannot think The things God has prepared for all who adore Him. AmenWho love Him heart, soul, strength and mind, and trust implicitlyIn spite of arguments inclined by what appears to be …exceeding, inexhaustibly beyond Thought’s lofty roarGod is able to do and be immeasurably moreThen, trust in Him with all your heart, draw near to Him and prayAssured that what we see in part He will make known someday © Janet Martin Eph.3:14-21For this reason I bow my knees to the Father []of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
