• About Bob 4 God

      11-10-13 – At different times I have been asked if I had a blog, or if I had thought of doing one. Well it’s been on my mind. Okay, sometimes it stays in my head for a long time before I act! In preparation I had bought and kept certain domain names. Recently my son Julian told me again that I should do a blog. So, in hopes that I am being obedient to God, I took Julian’s advise. I hope that it is a blessing to God, and to you. Should anything in here be a blessing to you, then I pray that God, and only God, is praised.

    • Jul 24thA Place I’ve Never Been

      I long for a place I’ve never been

      Looking, I search for it, but I have never seen it

      Yet I know it is there

      Never beheld but alive within me is my home

      I live here, but this is not my home

      I look around at those who don’t know me

      But say they do

      Walking a solitary walk, I am never alone

      Happy because of a King I’ve seen

      Only through the eyes of faith

      Yet I know Him more than I know myself

      Trust Him more than I trust myself

      Treacherous I can be to mine own self

      Faithful and True is my King

      Deserving of contempt, scorn and destruction, instead

      He lifts me up with love, kindness and encouragement

      Deserving of love, honor, adulation and glory,

      He didn’t cling to riches, abandoning what He had,

      Becoming a pauper with no bed to lie upon,

      He suffered and was abused and was trampled

      So that I wouldn’t be.

      Thus suffering reminds me that He suffered

      And expectantly and hopefully I look to the day

      That all the hurt goes away

      His wisdom I search for and it is

      His face I seek

      One thing I desire of my Lord

      To live at His feet and gaze upon His beauty

      One thing I yearn to hear from Him

      “Well done thou good and faithful servant”

      Certainly I don’t deserve the words

      Yet I long for them

      He alone is my strong tower, my refuge

      Only He can ease the pain

      Searching…needing…howling to the skies

      Like a searching parched coyote in the desert

      Seeking that which gives life

      To Him alone I look

      Where is my solace but in Him

      I need not look long

      Quickly He hears my gasps for help

      He is my everything; He is the All Sufficient One.

      As I lay in the hot sun, overwhelmed by it

      He sets down one knee beside me

      Bending He gently lifts my head off the hot sand

      Whispering “I am with you”

      He pours cool water of life past my lips.

      He revives me with sustenance.

      My body is comforted, my spirit sings

      This temporary body is temporarily calmed by water and food

      My spirit sings because He lives within me

      Wiping away my tears

      Lifting me to my feet

      He sends me on the path He gives me

      Sometimes the path is very easy

      Sometimes it is very hard

      Always, easy or hard, only with Him

      Only by Him

      Am I able to travel the path

      Traveling the path

      One thought I cling to

      He is good all the time

      Nothing else is

      Traveling the path

      On my destination my eyes remained fixed

      Fixed on Him

      He is my destination

      He is my all

      Come good or bad

      One He is truth above all

      He is Love and Truth

      He is good all the time

      Nothing else is

    • Jul 7thJoy Within

      My heart laughs

      It bubbles up and overflows through my mouth

      Bursting from me in laughter

      In song and praise I exalt God

      Why is joy within me

      It is because of my God

      Because of my Father, my Savior and His Holy Spirit

      Knowing God brings peace and joy

      God is love, joy and peace

      Everything begins with His love

      He is love.

      My heart dances and bursts forth in song

      I am safe to sleep

      While my enemy plans

      Let my enemy plot and let

      The forces of the world gather

      Who are they

      Who are they next to God

      God with me is infinitely more powerful

      Than all those in the world without God

      The Lord is my God

      Whom shall I fear

       

      Draw yourself up and determine to serve me

      Fear not and know that I am God

      Have I not established myself as Savior

      When you cried to me, was I not there

      Haven’t I protected you, never leaving you alone

      Draw yourself up

      Shove away fear

      Be angry at fear and declare it no longer welcome

      For it is I, your God

      Who tells you I am with you

      I say to your face you are mine

      I will protect you and never leave you

      Stand up, move forward, claim what I send you for

      For I Am Who I Am and Will Be What I Will Be

      There is no other like Me

      I stand alone

      Fear not

      Go Forth

      See the workings of my hand before you

      The enemy’s threats are empty air

      My hand is upon you

      Be jubilant and confident because I am with you

      Fear not for I love you

      Fear not, I go before you

      Let no worry settle upon you

      Love, peace and joy are my gifts to you

      Rest in me, I have gone before you

      Rest in me, I go before you

      Rest in me
