Wishes and Promises…

 

007

A wish is ethereal

Blowing away on the wind

God’s Promises are made of substance

Tested and tried

Rock solid

024

When the storms come

When the winds blow fierce

My emotions may blow hither and yon

But in my spirit there is a Strong Place

Built on Truth, not circumstances

Built on Word and Promises

Tested and tried

Rock solid

So I quiet my tumultuous emotions, and hush my anxious thoughts

And look to see that my feet are planted on Solid Rock

Immovable

Unshakeable

Tested and tried

 

 

Still following,

Elizabeth

  6. You expressed it. . . perfectly (seems inadequate). I have been battling, "wishing you well. . . wishing you blessings." I need another vehicle to deliver my sentiment!!

    I've stood on that rock. I've been buffetted by brutal winds that tried to break me. And, God, tested and true, kept me safe and strong! It is about calming your breath, controlling your thoughts. My thoughts were, "Just be with me." And He was.

    Your words are a blessing reminder!
