Graceman’s Musings

     In Shakespeare’s play Hamlet , a line says ” The times are out of joint ” In my prayer time the Lord gave me a little prayer outline that I jotted down.

Like Moses….

Show me your WONDER  ie Your Glory, Lord ( As man strains in futility to find solutions for the mess he placed himself in…..)  These are the Bailout days…..The big commerce ship is sinking and man is bailing out the passengers…..

How I long to see God moving…even in all this mess…He is moving and perhaps even causing the shakedown…so that which cannot be shaken will remain…. O God intervene…..Looks like we are losing…. ( We are not up to bat yet )

Show me your WAYS – Goals ( I often try to figure life out and figure God out . Then I remember Isa. 55  His ways are not my ways…..Hallelujah !

Show me how to WALK ( How/Where ) in the “minefield” of this present world that John said ” Lies in wickedness ) Paul said in Ephesians ” See that you walk Circumspectly / Very carefully…Eph.5 )

Show me your WEALTH, Lord…..You are my Source/Resource ( Phil.4:19 )

You are my Jehovah Jireh/Alpha Omega…You know what fish has the coin in it’s mouth…You know where the ravens are ( ie: Elijah ) I will be content with Daily Bread….Help me not to worry about tomorrows bread right after you fed me…..If I am too fat, perhaps ” The Lord’s Lean Cuisine ” is best for me……May I should be Fasting instead of  ” Fatting”…..

Finally

Show me your WILL – Guide me with your GPS ( God Positioning Satellite )

so I do not end up off course. One teacher once said if a plane is one degree off course he could land you in the forest or ocean rather than your destination….

New Poem written after studying Psalm 1 ( Entitled ” One Blessed Man”)

I’m One Blessed Man, O yes I am

And that ain’t a lotta Green Eggs and Ham

My God he’s real good to me

Not just lucky, I’m Blessed You see

No Bling, No Blang, No Thing, No Thang

Can Bring me Joy

Cause REAL Life’s not about my latest Toy.

Psalm One is the place to be

That’s why I am One Blessed Tree

In order to be Blessed

and live a life not stressed

Don’t walk in the counsel of those without God

Don’t stand in the path of sinners while you

Walk this sod.

Don’t sit in the seat of those who criticize

It’ll mess you up more than you realize

Make your delight in the Word of God

Meditate on it daily though it may seem Odd

I don’t eat junk, I don’t drink Bud

I feed on the Word like a cow chews it’s cud.

You ask me why I’m so happy , so happy and  free

I’m planted by the River, I’m one strong tree

You’ll have tough times

You’ll have rough seasons

But when you bloom

It’ll be the right season

Don’t be like the chaff

Just blowin around

Let your roots go deep

On the Solid ground

You’ll go through some tough times

In your life – span

Don’t let go of God’s strong hand.

Now you see from this simple plan

Why I am one Real Blessed Man.

                 Love ya,
