Никто не смеётся над Богом...

 Никто не смеётся над Богом в больнице...

Никто не смеётся над Ним на войне,
Там вера в сердцах начинает искриться,
И чаще молитвы звучат в тишине.

Никто не смеется над Ним при пожаре,
И всем не до смеха, когда идет смерч,
При голоде и при подземном ударе,
Насмешки проходят, меняется речь...

Слетает с лица вдруг надменная маска,
Когда самолет начинает трясти...
Никто не заявит, что Бог- это сказка,
Преступника встретив на узком пути...

Никто не воскликнет, что вера- для глупых,
Услышав смертельный диагноз врача ...
И с пеной у рта, спорить мало кто будет,
Когда встретит взгляд своего палача...

Издёвки, плевки и глупые шутки
Теряют свою актуальность, когда
Ты вдруг понимаешь, что нет и минутки-
Призвать в Свою жизнь Иисуса Христа...

Машина на скорости... Ты на дороге...
Вот резкий обрыв... Вот об камень висок...
Вот - пуля шальная, беда на пороге...
От смерти и ада, ты - на волосок...

Откуда ты знаешь, смеющийся ныне...
Что будет с тобой на развилках судьбы?
Смеяться легко, пока Бог дает силы
И терпит смиренно твои кулаки.

What are we waiting for? (Waiting for, waiting for)What are we waiting for? (Waiting for)Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Can't be what we can't seeCan't speak when we can't breatheCan't dance if we don't move our feetIt's a blur tryin' to keep paceDays are running like they're in a raceCan't move if we're in our own way
I guess the crisis isWe've just one life to liveAnd no one knows what happens next
So what are we waiting for?What are we waiting for?Why are we wasting all the time like someone's making more?What are we praying for?What are we saving for?What if we could be the light that no one could ignore?What are we waiting for?
Waiting forWaiting forWaiting forOh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Put the pen on a new pageDream about what you could changeAnd live it out before it's too late
The beauty of it isWe've just one life to liveAnd no one knows what happens next, no
So what are we waiting for? (Waiting)What are we waiting for? (Waiting)Why are we wasting all the time like someone's making more?What are we praying for? (Praying)What are we saving for? (Saving)What if we could be the light that no one could ignore?What are we waiting for?
Waiting for?Waiting for? (What are we waiting for?)Waiting for?Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
If I love betterAnd you love betterOur love will live on foreverIf I love betterAnd you love betterOur love will live on forever
What are we waiting for?What are we waiting for?Why are we wasting all the time like someone's making more?(Why are we wasting all this time?)What are we praying for?

My Place in This World

 The wind is moving

But I am standing still

A life of pages

Waiting to be filled

A heart that's hopeful

A head that's full of dreams

But this becoming

Is harder than it seems

Feels like I'm

Looking for a reason

Roaming through the night to find

My place in this world

My place in this world

Not a lot to lean on

I need Your light to help me find

My place in this world

My place in this world

If there are millions

Down on their knees

Among the many

Can You still hear me?

Hear me asking

Where do I belong?

Is there a vision

That I can call my own?

Show me, I'm

Looking for a reason

Roaming through the night to find

My place in this world

My place in this world

Not a lot to lean on

I need Your light to help me find

My place in this world

My place in this world

(My place in this world)

Looking for a reason

Roaming through the night to find

My place in this world

My place in this world

Not a lot to lean on

I need Your light to help me find

My place in this world

My place in this world

Looking for a reason (Looking for a reason)

Roaming through the night to find

My place in this world

My place in this world

Not a lot to lean on (not a lot to lean on)

I need Your light to help me find

My place in this world

My place in this world

I need Your light to help me find

My place in this world

My place in this world

A Christlike Heart

 A Christlike Heart

The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. 1 Samuel 16:7


Lori Salierno, in her book Designed for Excellence, relates that she developed a terrible case of acne when she was in high school. Everything she tried failed. She even heard girls at school whispering about her face. One night her will to cope copped out. Sobbing, she threw herself on her bed. Eventually her father came in to comfort her. “Lori,” he said, “I’m sorry. I know it’s tough, but you can overcome this. You need to forget about your face and start to work on your inner qualities.”


Lori wasn’t too sure her father knew what he was talking about, but she thought it was worth a try. She decided to focus on the Lord’s command to “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39). She began visiting a nearby nursing home, telling residents about herself and listening to their stories. The more Lori learned about the hearts and concerns of these senior citizens, the more her own pain seemed to diminish. One day, when a resident told Lori that she was “beautiful,” Lori realized that she truly felt beautiful. Her trips to the nursing home boosted her self-image and made it easier for her to face her schoolmates.


Scripture says that “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). When we teach our children to know and follow the Word of the Lord, they will move ever closer to the heart of Jesus—and develop a healthy self-concept in the process.


Before you say good night…

Are your kids most concerned about their outer or inner qualities?


Have you ever talked about 1 Samuel 16:7 with your kids, explaining what God values most in His children?


Dear God, we find it so easy to place great significance on matters that mean little in Your eyes. Thank You for clear instruction on what has lasting value and what will bring us closer to Your heart and will for our family. Amen.
