Yesterday I wrote about honoring the gift you have been given. I have been honing my gift of writing frevently this past year. As a creative person I am always thinking of writing something…it’s almost like I get these download of throughts that I have to write down on pieces of paper. I have file folders and notebooks full of teachings, sermons, poems, and spiritual thoughts.
During the month of September Holy Spirit began to speak the scripture verse from Prov.16:8 A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great. I have been working on this teaching for weeks and will publish it here once it is completed. A person never know the potential of thier gift while journeying to fulfill thier destiny…your gift if used for the glory of God will take you through doors never thought of. In this particular teaching I will be examining the life of Daniel and how God used him to minister to kings and brought glory to God during a dark time in history for the Israelites. God wants you use the gift he has given you make an impact in your sphere of influence so that the world may know that he is God.
Sinsce I have the gift of writing, I felt led today to share one of many poems that I have written. I pray that it will speak to you and cause you to remember the faithfulness of the God we serve. How many times has he been there for you?
HOW MANY TIMES
Lord I remember
The good times
Happy times
Sad times
Peanut Butter and Jelly times
When this was all we had to eat times
Stretching every nickel and dimes times
Lord I remember
When you made a way out of no way times
Back up against the wall times
You answered my call in the nick of time…Times
All alone times
Friends were few times
Didn’t know what to do times
Misunderstood times
Troubled times
Perplexed times
Distressed times
But the best times
I remember Lord
You were there all the time….
