Landscape

I am sure that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on that day when Christ Jesus comes back again.
PHILIPPIANS 1:6 NLT

Your life’s like a landscape and God has the brush,
The work is in progress, He’s not in a rush.
Each stroke has a purpose, nothing’s by chance,
To see all His wisdom takes more than a glance.

Notice the sunbeams that shine on the dew,
Even the clouds can’t keep them from view.
Look at the pathway that turns at the hill,
Its course will reveal what’s next in His will.

The stream that’s flowing with water so blue,
Is bringing down blessings meant just for you.
The trees that are planted close to the stream,
Will bring forth more fruit than you’ve ever seen.

The bird in the nest with mouth opened wide,
Is just a reminder that God will provide.
Now look at the sheep in the meadow that’s near,
And notice the Shepherd that keeps them from fear.

He’s brought them to pastures which give forth the best,
That cool and refresh, and keep them in rest.
The eagle above, that soars o’er the gale,
Is God’s way of saying, “My strength will not fail.”

That part of the painting which now seems unclear,
Will take on new meaning with each passing year.
So trust God to work in His own perfect way,
And rejoice in the beauty He’s painting today.
