Shadrach, Meshach, & Abednego.

A long time ago in Palestine,The Babylonians destroyed the holy shrine.They raided and plundered with so much noise,And took with them three Hebrew boys.

Now Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,Were three Godly boys, as you well know.They trusted their God in every way,And He protected them day by day.

But Satan, the villain, had many weird plans,To drive them to sin through their hearts and hands.Hoping they would lose their trust in God,And refuse to serve Him as their loving Lord.

Now, Nebuchadnezzar was that head of gold,He was not pleased to have prophecy unfold.So he sculpted the image with gold, through-out,Hoping God's predictions would not come about.

Then on a certain day on the city's main square,While the music played loudly, with everyone there,The king demanded they all "bow the knee"And it must be obeyed; proclaimed the decree.

But Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,Refused to pretend to "go with the flow."They stood up tall , and straight, and freeAnd defied the king's outrages decree.

The King and his council began to conspire.And tossed the three Hebrews into the fire.But they did not burn; not even a hair,As Jesus, their Savior, was with them there.

The Heavens Declare

I gazed into the sky one nightAnd saw that God was there.The very God who made the worldsHis power to declare.

The stars were twinkling in the sky,As far as eye could see.The longer you would look up thereThe more you thrill with glee

Now "Rigel" and star "Betelgeuse"Shone brightly in "Orion's Belt"With all the stars in "Pleides"My being was numb; that's how I felt

The moon was hanging out in space,And shed a softer light.It was as if it smiled at me,All through the moonlit night.

Dear friend of mine.........When you have time some starry night,Make sure you stop and stare.A grand surprise will meet your sight,As you behold your Maker there.

Jesus Is Still The Answer

Our once precious world, is fast falling apartWorld Leaders are asking, “where do we start?”The People are running from pillar to postLike someone in darkness afraid of a ghostBut, Jesus is still the answer

We cannot walk in our streets at nightThere are fighting and looting in broad day lightOur children at school don’t feel safe anymoreAnd teachers need padlocks to secure their doorsBut, Jesus is still the answer.

The family unit is performing their bestTo keep everyone safe in their cozy nestBut Satan, the Devil, is hurling his dartsIn hopes that he’ll be breaking our hearts.But, Jesus is still the answer’

So, who do we turn to, in this day and age?We feel like an animal trapped in a cageBut please don’t give up; there is a way outOur God sees it all, so don’t ever doubtAnd Jesus is still the answer

So, dear Christian friend, you need not despairJust take a few steps, and he’ll meet you right thereFor He’s willing, to grant you joy, peace, and graceHe want’s you in heaven; where He saved you a placeFor, Jesus is still the answer.

Some Christians

Some Christians love to talk the talk,Some Christians fail to walk the walk,Some Christians love their blessed Lord,Yet in His presence feel so bored.

Some Christians love to sing and pray,Some Christians love their worship day,Some Christians do not want to speak;About their God throughout the week.

Some Christians want to be involved.Some Christians want their problems solved.Some Christians seem to shy away;When duty calls, they're off to play.

Some Christians like to watch their health.Some Christians do not seek great wealth.Some Christians love to bless their church.Yet find it hard, to leave their perch

So Christian friend, please don't conform.You don't have to wear their uniform.Jesus and you, are working together,That you may be, with Him forever.

The God We Serve Is Good

The Bible declares the goodness of God,And the universe sings it with one accord.I praise Him each day for His endless love,That love that come's from the heavens above.

There came a day when my soul was sad,I was feeling down and really hurting bad,But then I cried out to my precious Lord,And He brought me comfort; for He is my God

I give Him all praise for His protective hand,In keeping me safe as I travel this land.I will sing His praises each night and each day,For I know He is with me every step of the way.

There are times in a week when my cupboards are bare,And there are many out there, who are supposed to care,But Jesus, my Savior, does provide for me wellAnd O!, what a story; I will continually tell.

Now, I must confess, that I'm not perfect at all.I've been straying alot, yes, I did stumble and fall.So I came to the cross and He did me forgive,His answer was swift; now I've a reason to Live.

So, dear friend of mine, wherever you are.Just remember your God is not very far.He will come to your rescue without strings attached,For He is a good God; and His record's unmatched.

The Devil Does Wear Prada

There are far too many people who think the Devil is a joke.They say he lives in outer space and never comes down here,But I would have you think again, especially younger folk,That he is very much alive and busy every where.

You see, he's so much smarter than those who think they're wise,For when he comes to tempt them; he knows exactly how.He has a thousand costumes to use in his disguise,So when he makes his entrance; it is what's in "vogue" right now.

Please be aware, my faithful friends, the devil does wear "Prada."Besides his fancy clothing; his melodic voice is "OH" so sweet,And by the way, he loves the clothes that comes from quaint Granada.So, if you don't stay on target, he'll sweep you off your feet.

There's one more thing to watch out for, he's never harsh or crude.His "modus operandi" is to keep you calm and cool.So he never really acts abrupt and is frankly seldom rude,And while you're unsuspecting, you're sitting in his school.

So Christian friend and everyone, take heed, the devil's real.He comes in every human size, and in fabrics of all kinds.We need the Holy Spirit's power to stay on even keel,Then pray earnestly to Jesus to fortify our wayward minds.

You Are The Sermon

You do not have to shout out loud,Or join a churchy, Christian, crowd.To show that you’re a child of God,And that you trust and love your Lord.

The day you came to Jesus Christ; your life was very grim,However, you had promised, that you would walk with Him.And no matter where the Lord would lead,You will go; and on His precious word you’ll feed.

So, when you stop to clothe the poor,You are His hands and feet; for sure,When you bring comfort, to a weary soul,You’re emulating Christ; which is a noble goal.

So, Christian friend, be careful what you daily “teach”,For people “watch” the message, that you “preach”.Remember, that your life is always read; and never hid,And that’s exactly, what The Master did.
