1/21/18 Through 1/27/18

Sunday

The call is the important thing

By listening the heart will sing

By following will life be changed

Priorities be rearranged

None ever disappointed by

The things they sacrificed, and why?

Because He grants more in return

Than all our labors ever earn.

Monday

Beelzebul, the leaders say

Gives Him the power to act that way

But how can that assertion be

When at His word the demons flee?

No kingdom stands when at its core

Exists its own internal war

For sure, such reasoning is flawed

In truth, these words have come from God

Tuesday

Dancing there before the ark

His praise to God is seen

We must be willing to embark

To places he has been

To recklessly abandoning

Our pride and our conceit

To praise the Lord by offering

Our lives as ground up wheat

Wednesday

In peeling back the parable

He lists the things comparable

Unto the Word He freely sows

In terms a common person knows

In spite of terms so crystal clear

It's often times we fail to hear

And lose it to the hungry birds

By never taking root, His words

We lose it to our cares today

Or lust for things along the way

But some receive and listen well ,

And there within the harvest dwell

Thursday

A light and voice would change for good

The scripture now, be understood

This persecutor of the Way

Has come to see the light of day

The scales have fallen from his eyes

He sees through every false disguise

And clearly now he understands

What Christ has done and love demands

Friday

The harvest is abundant

The laborers are few

Without a staff or sack they went

The will of God to do.

Would I but answer to His call

To get into the field

I too could then become like Paul

And to the spirit yield

Saturday

Oh Lord how blind am I to see

The many faults contained in me

Send Nathan here to strip away

Confusion, and my guilt convey
