God Speaks To Me

God speaks to me in springtime
When the earth is wet with dew
In the Meadows and the prairies
As the grass comes poking through.

In the budding of a flower
On a bright and wondrous day
In the middle of a thunderstorm
As trees begin to sway.

God speaks to me in summer
When the sun is at its peak
In the marshes and the lowlands
As the frogs begin to creak. 

In the chirping of a sparrow
On a calm and sultry morn
In the middle of a twilight sky
As day is being born.

God speaks to me in autumn
When the earth is turning brown
In the valleys and woodlands
As the leaves come tumbling down. 

In the beauty that surrounds us
On a vast and rolling plain
In the middle of a harvest day
As barns are filled with grain.

God speaks to me in winter
When the frost is on the ground
In the forests and the mountains
As the flakes come swirling round. 

In the presence of a full moon
On a cold and stormy night
In the middle of a country lane
When stars are shining bright.

God speaks to me in seasons
When a child is being born
In the middle of a wedding
As the vows are being sworn. 

In the valley of the shadows
On a deathbed, I will flee
In the open arms of angels
As Jesus waits for me.

1 Timothy 1:18-19 
"Let your conscience be your guide" is a well-known expression, but one that
isn't necessarily good advice. That's because your moral compass is only as
reliable as the principles with which you program it. If you store up proper
biblical instruction and training, it will be dependable to safeguard you
through life. But using false ideologies from popular culture to program
your conscience will set you up for moral failure.
Our heavenly Father has given each person a conscience as a gift intended to
be a tool of the Holy Spirit--our one true Guide. As such, it is designed to
protect you from going astray. You can trust it only when the following
seven statements are true of you:
1. Jesus Christ is your Savior and Lord. 
2. The Bible is the basis for your conduct. 
3. You have a strong desire to obey God. 
4. You make decisions prayerfully. 
5. Your conscience sounds the alarm when you consider a wrong direction
in thought or action. 
6. You feel guilty when you disobey. 
7. You feel compelled to repent of your disobedience.
A trustworthy conscience reacts immediately to disobedience. There is no
making excuses and no waffling over whether or not something may have been
wrong.
To develop a reliable conscience, read and apply Scripture so God's
principles will override any prior bad programming. Then, under the Holy
Spirit's guidance, it will sound protective alerts. Don't put faith in your
conscience alone, but trust God to make it an effective tool for leading
you.
