Joy Comes in the Morning
Hearken hearts and listen my dears
I have music for your wondering ears
There is something that you must know
But in your heart you must let it grow
It is a seed in your heart I wish to sew
In the rich fertile soil there it will grow
It is a song that I love to always hear
I muse of promise and of good cheer
In this promise to you I confide
A praise in which the Lord resides
My heart sings it loud and clear
I can sing through worry and fear
Greater is He who dwells in me
In my weakness His strength you see
Though in your life rain will be pouring
His joy comes in the Morning
Brothers and Sisters,
I apologize for my long pause. I could blame it on my busy schedule. I could blame it on writer’s block. I could use many excuses, but my heart knows that I have been trotting dangerously close to the edge. I have been focusing my eyes and heart on many trials and not on the Lord.
I allowed my circumstances to cloud my view and discourage me. I still have my faith in the Lord. I am still under His grace, but Lord what a battle it has been. I have been trying to do it on my own again. In these struggles I lost sight of my joy.
God is so visible in my life because the enemy is so visibly attacking me and mine. I have been watching the devil reek havoc in my finances, my thoughts, my fears, my family. He has been so busy driving wedges and building strongholds. Yet through it all God has been carrying me and mine. I know that I am safe in His arms.
I forgot that this gift of praise the Lord has given me is a great weapon of the Lord to help defeat the enemy. These poems are my praise. I lost sight of that. By not writing I was losing ground in my efforts to stand. The Word promises that the Lord inhabits the praises of my people and I was allowing the enemy to stop an avenue of having the Lord more in my life. Well no more. Devil the Lord rebuke you! I am a child of God, as are my family. We are covered under the blood of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
I ask for prayers, my Christian family of friends. My family is facing many challenges and we need prayers.
Thank you for those of you who have been keeping us in your prayers. They are felt and appreciated.
Keep serving.
In Christ,
Christian
