Scripture Pep Talk

by David Scott Robertson

When the circumstances around you
Don't look so super great --
Just bear in mind, my Christian friend,
ROMANS 8 AND 28.

When you mess up one more time,
And fear your sin will prevent your entrance to heaven --
Remember that God's grace is sufficient in
FIRST JOHN 1 AND 7.

When your pathway seems so rocky,
And appears crooked as can be --
Remember who your Shepherd is in
PSALM 37 AND 23.

When you're tired and you're weary,
And your burden is too heavy a weight --
Just rest in the peaceful comfort of
MATTHEW 11 AND 28.

When you sense your enemy closing in,
And fear your protection is all but gone --
Don't worry, you're not helpless,
Declare all of PSALM 91.

Just look up to the Lord,
And know that He's always right on time -
Be strong and brave and daring
Directs JOSHUA 1 AND 9.

For if you trust in Jesus,
Whose grace and mercy are plenty -
That blessed day is coming soon
When we realize REVELATION 22 AND 20.
