Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Every Promise Is Enough

A promise is such a comfort 
when you've little to hang on to 
as you see life hitting you hard 
to carry on is so hard to do 

But God has in His inerrant word 
given promises without number 
every one of them is given 
so the believer won't fall or slumber 

To live this life of faith 
we need spurred on by the Lord 
so His promises are His gift 
to live for Him in mutual  accord 

So as we dwell on this provision 
our hearts are filled with thankfulness 
as every promise is enough 
filling our being with joyfulness 

God indeed is so good 
providing in all we need 
so His every word of promise 
is sufficient without doubt indeed 

AUTHOR NOTES: Thoughts penned when listening to Stuart Townend's 'My heart is filled with thankfulness', as it inspired to put some words to my thoughts. check out video on youtube to hear it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5yYgxdqTPI

Darlene Gifford September 4, 2014 at 12:12 PM Hi, Gordon, I liked your promises poem, reminding us that God is faithful and good. Some other scriptures I like are "Faith and patience inherit the promises of God. (Heb 6:12) and acts 1:4 "But wait for the promise of the Father." I have a Strong's concordance which guides me to exactly what I'm looking for. I'm sure you do, too. So glad I found people like you here who love God and share their inspirationall poems. :) Gordon Mcconnell September 7, 2014 at 8:45 AM thanks Darlene, yes it good we of like mind can share fellowship, thanks for your encouragement, God bless, catch you later, Gordon
