Poem Of The Month:

Friend of the Promise

Psalms 119:116 Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope!

Galatians 3:22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

Galatians 3:29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.

2Peter 3:13 But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

1John 2:25 And this is the promise that he made to us––eternal life.

John 17: 1b – 3 [Jesus] lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

Colossians 1:26-27 ...the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Dear Friend of the Promise,

Look up, through your doubt and fear
With your discouraged, forlorn heart
Face streaked with despairing tear
Your dearest dreams blown apart
By unforeseen circumstance
And ripped relations 'round you.
Disregarding nat'ral chance
Look up, it's all you can do.

Lu 21:28
And when these things come.......to pass,
Then look up, He's standing by.
Lift your head up, free at last:
For your redemption draws nigh.

Colossians 3:1-4
If...you have been raised with Christ,
Seek the things that are above,
Where He is.......He paid the price!.......
Now crowned at the right hand of Love.

Set your mind on things above,
Not on things that are on earth.
You died with the turtle dove,
With Christ in God find life's worth.

When at last you see the King,
Bringing you eternal life,
On True Life's gift you will wing
No guilt, no tears, no more strife.

In “Now's” raging tempest – STAND!
Gird your soul with His power!
You know Truth – He holds your hand!
Every context, every hour...

The Coming King lives in you!
Ruling Heaven...and your heart.
In both realms is worship due.
Trust Him, He will not depart.

Love in Christ, Jerry Johnson
