Short Stedfast Poems

Steadfast

Unwavering

Holding fast Scriptures’ truth

Yielding not to vain dogmas’ threats…

Christ-propped.

*Hebrews 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.

Heaven views
triumphant voyage 
providentially blest...

Along tranquil service  
journey prevails 
God steadfastly
anchors.*

Blooming sunflowers
sway gaily with wind waltzes~~~
petals keep cleaving...

…Like the sunflowers
heart stays glowing, unrestrained~~~ 
basking with freedom…

…At times, faith wavers
midst carnality cravings~~~
soul* clings to Anchor!!!

*Hebrews 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil.

I lift thine eyes towards heaven’s way,
Thankful for blessings given this day.

Oh lord, I thank you for saving me,
my heart is filled with much glee.

Each day that I live I’m grateful,
My soul rejoices, and I'm thankful.

Took my brokenness, I’m now whole,
Your stedfast love cleansed my soul.

Sometimes I fall short and get off track,
Faith in you helps me in things I lack.

In those times, I must seek your face,
and rest in the father’s amazing grace....

landscape grand tremor
volcano island’s ash fall*
scenery turns gray...

...when problems shake heart
I turn to God**, my anchor
beautifying wondrous life.**

**Hebrew6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast...

I carry you
within...

this courage...
this love...
this wisdom...

through my veins
your blood...

your history...
lifes bridges...
you have crossed...

your battles fought
lost and won...

you walked this earth
with defiance...
your courage...
your self reliance...

this a burden to
carry...this courage
stedfast...this spirit
truth does not elude...

...my spirit kneels
before truth...

this respect...
your spirit
long lives...

...gifted to me
from you......

Continue in God's work well
His wondrous mercy-deeds --- tell...
Keep on serving steadfastly
By His grace poured constantly.

Minister around love's scope
Give the Lord's blessings of hope...
Oh, be not weary to share
Build lives upon Christ's great care.

*1Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
