Faith Lives With Flexibility

Faith Lives With Flexibility

Faith lives with flexibility 

Especially when under duress 
It doesn't  push the panic button

That says stress!.. Stress!.. Stress!
Faith causes us to initiate
The immediacy of prayer
The ministering of the Holy Spirit
To help with scenarios there

We can be anxious  for nothing

Because of substitutionary prayer
For we've  learned to take every burden 
To the Lord and leave them there
I love to give thanks in all things

It's a habit that I have formed
It's part of my faith practice now
Definitely outside of the norm

Now my thoughts are higher 
Actually  in the heavenlies
Born again in Jesus  name... amen 
With a so great Salvation if you please
Living for the Master 
Now with watchful eyes 
Waiting for his call...Come Up !!!
As I journey through the skies

Now my feet are planted
On this planet earth
But I'm  destined for a new habitation 
Because of my second birth
Still I'm not anxious for anything
It'll happen in His time
Mine to wait  .to watch and pray
For His call ...come home!..come home it's Suppertime!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
