Emulate

The negative don’t articulate,
The Word of God accentuate,
Then success facilitate,
Relating the Gospel Truth.
Have faith…do not procrastinate,
Be decisive…do not vacillate,
In obedience do not hesitate,
Frustrating the devil’s plans.
By all your actions demonstrate
As light of the world illuminate
The Gospel daily disseminate
Emulating Jesus Christ.
Whining Will Get You Nowhere
By George Thurlow

Whining will get you nowhere
It’s not an act of faith.
Murmuring and complaining
Is like spitting in God’s face.
It truly is an insult
To a sovereign Lord…
A declaration of unbelief
Of His written Word.
It’s saying I don’t trust you;
It’s calling God a liar.
It’s a symptom of a sinful heart
That quenches the Spirit’s fire.
Don’t expect to see an answer
To petition and to prayer
For whining and complaining
Won’t get you anywhere.
Exodus 16:8
“And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.”
Isaiah 59:1-2
Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
God Is For Me
By George Thurlow

God is for me this I know;
He protects from evil foes.
He saves and keeps me from all woes;
I will trust in Him.
God is for me I won’t fear;
He causes me to persevere.
He bottles up my every tear;
I will praise His name.
God is for me every day;
He’s my comfort, guide and stay.
He shepherds me so I don’t stray,
Therefore I gladly will obey.
Psalm 56:9
“…this I know; for God is for me.”
