Do I give God credit

Do I give God credit
am I proud
do I see myself
as the source of what I have
Do I give God credit
the Creator of all
do I praise Him, thank Him
for everything

we must stop to listen

we must stop to listen
to God’s whispers to us
His musings in scripture
in the days of our lives
we must be silent
to hear His message
the word of life to us
in His Holy Word

God whispers His promises

God whispers His promises
to our lives, to our hearts
God does not shout
God speaks in whispers
in the words of scripture
in the pages of nature
God whispers His promises
to those who listen to Him
