SEASON OF WAITING...GROWING...PRAYING..

SEASON OF WAITING...GROWING...PRAYING
By: Tyararr J. Jones

Seasons come and go. The timing we cannot control. But be discerning of those you allow to sit close to your soul. We are not just to sit and wait but stay active through the season. For what the Lord allows along the journey is for a divine reason. How often things and people change as the seasons of life lead us along the way, may we find rest and seek the Lord as we experience each new day. There are times to just sit and think and times to walk and wander, but may our words, actions, and attitudes always reflect our Jesus who doesn't allows us to far sqaunder. Press on along the journey and embrace obedience, patience, and love. For one day your season will bring you face to face with God our Father above.  

MY WILDERNESS

MY WILDERNESS

by: Tyararr Jones

The loud jeers of the journey and the

heckling from the hassles of the day,

Cause me to steer from the path and beckon

more for the return of the Messiah, my joy my stay.

O the chants from the enemy who

comes before me with many faces,

He creeps about in my desires and thoughts

and lingers in my secret places.

In the silence of my pondering within my 

heart, the battle of wrong vs right,

Weariness grasps at my vigor, faith, hope,

my joy; wanting me to give up in the fight.

The posture of my mind, heart, and knees strive for 

union to God in peace and humility,

Relying not on my own strength, wisdom,

and knowledge and God given ability.

The road of my journey has led to instances of joy,

disappointment, growth, heartache and blame,

But the light to my path has been God's Word, and 

relying fully in the sovereignty of Jesus' name.

My brothers and sisters, take heart though your faith and 

character are being tried, 

You walk not alone in the fury, for Jesus is constantly 

at work and faithfully by your side.

O the breaking of the dawn, the early 

rising to find my stay,

We must not lose heart in the struggle or lose hope,

for Jesus is the Creator of the day.

I press on wit ha confidence that is familiar

but is not my own,

Embracing the scriptures of God and the many Truths

I have been shown.

Though the voices in my life grow silent and my spirit 

feels broken and at a loss,

May I stand, contend, fight, strive, press on, and 

stay the course as I daily embrace the Cross.
