Today's Poem:
I Refuse!
I refuse to be discouraged,
To be sad, or to cry;
I refuse to be downhearted,
And here's the reason why . . .
I have a God who's mighty,
Who's sovereign and supreme;
I have a God who love me,
And I am on His team.
He is all wise and powerful,
Jesus is His Name;
Though everything is changeable,
My God remains the same.
My God knows all that's happening,
Beginning to end.
His presence is my comfort,
He is my dearest friend.
When sickness comes to weaken me,
To bring my head down low,
I call upon my mighty God;
Into His arms I go.
When circumstances threaten
To rob me from my peace,
He draws me close unto His breast,
Where all my strivings cease.
And when my heart melts within me,
And weakness takes control,
He gathers me into His arms,
He soothes my heart and soul.
The great "I AM" is with me,
My life is in His hands,
The "Son of the Lord" is my hope,
It's in His strength I stand.
I refuse to be defeated,
My eyes are on my God;
He has promised to be with me,
As through this life I trod.
I'm looking past all my circumstances,
To Heaven's throne above;
My prayers have reached the heart of God,
I'm resting in His love.
I give God thanks in everything,
My eyes are on his face;
The battle's His, the victory is mine;
He'll help me win the race.
Amen
Praying Psalm 27
O Lord, You are my Light and my Salvation; I will not be afraid? You are my Fortress, protecting me from danger, I will not tremble? When evil people come to devour me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Even when a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident. The one thing I ask of You my Lord; the thing I seek most; is to live in Your house Lord; all the days of my life, delighting in Your perfections and meditating in Your Temple. For I know You will conceal me there when troubles come; You will hide me in Your sanctuary. Father, You place me out of reach on a high rock. I hold my head high above my enemies who surround me. At Your sanctuary I offer my heart, soul and spirit sacrifices with shouts of joy, singing and praising my Lord with music. Hear me then as I pray O Lord. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘my Lord and my God, I am coming.’ Lend Your ear to my pleas and do not turn Your back on me. Do not reject Your servant in anger. You have always been my Helper. Don’t leave me now; don’t abandon me, O God, King of my salvation! Even if my father and mother abandon me, I know my Lord will hold me close. Teach me how to live, Lord. Lead me along the right path, for my enemies are waiting for me. Do not let me fall into their hands. For they accuse me of things I’ve never done; with every breath they threaten me with violence. Yet I am confident I will see Your goodness Lord while I am here in the land of the living. I wait patiently for You my King. Yes, I wait patiently for my Lord, Amein.

Don't let this be you right now. I almost let this be me. Recently I got a nasty-gram from our city about the length of our grass. I've let it grow to the same height all season so far. I don't like putting chemicals and stuff on the yard and in my experience letting it grow a little extra makes the grass greener and work out the weeds on its own.
Anyway, I got this nasty-gram. I was upset. I call up there. I get no answers to specific questions about acceptable length. I pretty much wasted my breath and time on the phone asking about this situation. It comes time to mow again, I haven't let the nasty-gram go. While mowing I keep thinking of all these different things I could do to prove I wasn't in the wrong. Or to be an absolute pain to the city within their own ordinances. Or to keep these officials on their toes and ensure they aren't hypocrites threatening to fine me for my yard when theirs is just as "bad".
Then it hits me: what am I doing? Is this something I should be worried about? Is this furthering the Kingdom? Does any of this matter? The above comic came shortly after that.
While my example seems minor, there are those out there getting caught up in major world concerns as well. No matter the severity of the issue, just remember: don't let whatever it is not allow you to shine your light. Don't let those concerns choke the Word out to where it is fruitless. If we look through history, there are always major worldly concerns. Some pass without anything happening, some come to fruition. In the end though, does it matter?
