SELAH ©️

By George Thurlow

June 18, 2026

Pause and ponder the Word of God,

It’s nourishment divine.

Don’t hesitate, to ruminate 

Upon every verse and line.

Search and sift oh studious ones

Through the hidden Bible treasures.

Contemplate and mediate,

And be blessed beyond all measure.

Mull over and muse, dig in and chew,

Devour each jot and tittle:

Those who cogitate and assimilate,

Will find their faith shall not be little.

Meet With God by in the Morning

 

Meet With God in the Morning 

By George Thurlow

May 11, 2026 ©️

Meet with God in the morning;

Be infused with power divine.

Eagerly soak in His presence

Amidst this heavenly clime.

Let your spirit soar on morning wings,

Chasing the sunlit rays.

Hear the still small voice…and let your heart rejoice,

O’er the gift of a brand new day.

Seek the Savior early;

Hear what He longs to share:

How glorious is the fellowship 

In those daybreak times of prayer. 

Overcoming By the Blood

 I was blessed with a new poem this morning at the shore. Believer’s remain firm in the faith!

Overcoming By the Blood🩸

By George Thurlow 

©️May 7, 2026 

Walk by faith and not by sight,

Forsake mistrustful feelings.

Wield the Sword, proclaim the Word,

Resist the devil’s dealings.

Meet the enemy with

Christ’s precious Blood:

Hold fast and do not waver.

From fear refrain, in faith remain, 

Pleading the Blood of Christ the Savior. 

Revelation 12:11

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

Cast Your Cares

 Cast Your Cares

By George Thurlow 

©️2/27/2026

Cast your cares and don’t despair;

You’re not in this trial alone.

Christ Who cares, has heard your prayers:

Help cometh from the throne.

Though troubles great,

And aggravate 

They would vex your very soul:

Christ will lift, and the weight will shift

When on Christ your burdens roll.

1 Peter 5:7

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

Good Cheer

 Good Cheer

By George Thurlow

January 1, 2026 ©️

I have but one resolution 

In the infancy of this year:

Lay all at the feet of Jesus, 

Each day be of good cheer.

I won’t let my heart be troubled;

My “life is hid with Christ in God” .

In Him I am triumphant,

And on a higher plane I trod.  

Though unknown the path before me,

Blindly I will not roam.

For I’m guided by the Spirit

And do not walk alone.

I will take heart and be of courage; 

Choosing faith over dread and fear.

Through Christ an overcomer

With a spirit of good cheer.

Good News

Have you heard the good news 

Of the Savior who was born? 

Of the prophesied Messiah

Who arrived on  Christmas morn?

Prophecy fulfilled from the Foundation of the earth 

God’s chosen Lamb of Bethlehem  Offering man a second birth.

Reconciliation 

Relationship restored

Through the Son of God Himself

To even up the score.

God’s promise of the woman’s seed

To crush the serpents head

Now coming to fruition

With this babe in a manger bed.

What joyous revelation 

Herald angels glorified

The arrival of the Savior

This babe who was born to die.

Changing the course of fallen man

Being the remedy for the breach

Pardon and forgiveness 

Through celestial outreach.

The Season of Light

      THE SEASON OF LIGHT

           By George Thurlow

         ©️December 5, 2025

 

The season of light is upon us With Christmas trees aglow,

Homes outlined with brilliant hues

Reflecting off the snow.

Beautiful, but superficial:

These human efforts to pierce the night,

Man’s feeble endeavor to escape the dark,

Through its own artificial light.

Obsessive strives to illumine the world at its darkest hour:

Ignoring the Truth of the Gospel 

That Christ is the true Light and Power.

And this was the condemnation,

For the Light they wouldn’t heed,

Preferring to stay in darkness 

Because of evil deeds.

Yet still exists the wise men,

Called out  of the dark of night

Surrendering their lives unto Him;

Entering His marvelous Light.

John 3:19

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.”

1 Peter 2:9

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”

Reborn

 Reborn

Have you a heart of Thanksgiving, 

When you awaken every morn?

Are you grateful for another day  

Has your spirit been reborn?

Or are you shrouded by a personal cloud,

That persists above your head?

Under the weather every day,

Fogged in by gloom and dread?

Are you tired of being Overwhelmed and

Hopelessly depressed?

Confused and agitated,

Persistently distressed?

Let me offer you a remedy 

The cure is tried and true:

Guaranteed to bring relief 

And drive away the blues.

I present to you  my Jesus,

The healer of broken lives.

The Redeemer of all captive souls,

The driver out of sin and strive.

Surrender to the Son of God

The One Who paid the price:

By the shedding of His precious Blood,

He’ll transform your life.

With a heart of Thanksgiving 

You’ll awaken every morn;

As a new creation

With a spirit that is reborn!
