As Years Go By
by Ken L. Birks

 

 

As the years go by we count our blessings one by one.
Looking back, we stand in awe with all God has done.
With our lives in His hands, He brings forth what is concealed
Many run in circles, chasing rainbows, while others yield.
Lives yielded bear much fruit with an eternal weight of glory.

As years go by many stand in wonder, with nothing achieved.
With regret in lives so wasted, nothing counted for or conceived.
Sadness fills the heart with wonderment of what could have emerged.
If only the voice within would’ve been heard, rather than submerged.
Living for today seemed so enticing with nothing gained or enlarged.

As years go by, the more we understand, our lives are but a vapor
Here today and gone tomorrow, so little time to make life matter.
In the eternal weight of glory we continually yield for a life, so pure.
The Lord’s will or our will, our ultimate decisions determine our destiny
Lives yielded to the Lord’s will are without regret, treasures stored for eternity.

Help us, Lord, to take our eyes off self and turn to You in all that we do.
Help us see the eternal weight of your glory as the years make us anew.
Help us to make our lives count for something so holy and pure.
Help us come to the end of ourselves that we find You in all that we endure.
Help us to be forever grateful in all that You accomplish in and through.

 

Scripture references: 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, James 4:13-17, Matthew 6:18-21

The Journey:
Discovering the Invisible Path

By Kenneth L. Birks

The Journey by Ken BirksThe goal of this book is to give you, as a Christian, a glimpse into the path God has purposed for your life and to help you seize your destiny and purpose. In doing so, you will be able to live the role created for you. Whether you are just starting out on your journey, anywhere in the middle, or have become detoured and lost your way, this practical guidebook will help shine the light on the invisible path that not only leads to God’s goodness and experiencing His kingdom within, but also to the greatest adventure of your life.

Comment: The Journey is your GPS for the Bible. The problem is solved. The riddle is deciphered. Like a trusted guide, Ken makes complex concepts simple and masterfully unpacks the Bible’s greatest mysteries. He provides a sure foundation upon which to build a lifetime of insight.—Francis Anfuso
