9/26/21 Through 10/2/21

 9/26/21 Through 10/2/21

Sunday

See what jealousy can do,

It draws the reason far from you,

And leads to where the sins abound,

Where love and trust are never found.

The good in all is good for all,

And all must answer well the call.

For when the call is acted on

Is grace to all, bestowed upon.

Monday

Hope for better days to come,

See what pride and lust have done.

Gaining all we lost the best,

In the Lord is found our rest.

Greatest in His eyes will know

Service is the way to go.

In the least, the great is found.

In the weak, the strong and sound.

All be gained, but all is lost

Soul of man the heavy cost.

When all within the world gained,

Slavery is all obtained.

Tuesday

Lord send Your fire from above.

Fill our hearts with peace and love.

Make of me a life anew,

Let all in me, reflect of You.

Let me suffer well for Thee

That stony hearts observe and see,

How true it is, as often seems,

The undeserving Love redeems.

Wednesday

Unseen in realms of earthly light,

Still rages the angelic fight

For souls to serve or turn away,

To heed the call, or go astray.

Yet man is blessed with such as these

Who show the simple man the keys

Of serving Him, beyond all fame

And trembling at His Holy Name.

For only in His presence there

Is peace and joy beyond compare.

And trusting Him in all we do

Will always be what's best for you.

Thursday

The mother lode is here at hand

If we obey His each command.

A nugget in His every word

For those who act on what is heard.

See how every word is true

Let it sink down deep in you.

Ponder well each morsel there,

Then in love, the beauty share.

Endless are the ways He speaks

All revealed to one who seeks.

One who practices will see

Transformative the word will be.

Ageless, timeless words of love

Given from our Lord above.

Ever old, but ever new

Always with a word for you.

Correction when it's needed most

Our guidance from the Holy Ghost.

To steer the ship and stay the course,

To love, our never-ending source.

Adoration 9/9/21

Here I sit with You today

Afraid to take the time away

From mundane chores that pass the time,

But fail to break the paradigm.

So, why prefer such boring things

To sitting with the King of kings,

And there absorb His loving gaze

In bread made flesh to prize and praise?

I rest within Your presence Lord.

To pass You by I can't afford.

The time I'm face to face with You

I always find is overdue.

Yet every moment cherished there

For none on earth can quite compare,

Where time is stopped a moment while,

My heart and soul Your love beguile.

Friday

How true the prophet's words today

This people fails to God obey

So many blessings squandered here

Upon a people insincere.

To heed the call and Him obey,

Instead we bend the truth our way.

But truth we find will not comply,

And all we have is just a lie.

I hope and pray it's not too late

To alter course and change our fate.

To bring about a change within,

And turn from all ths sordid sin.

War rages on in every soul

And evil takes a mighty toll,

But those that humbly turn to love

Will find at last their home above.

Saturday

Become like one of these and see

The value of humility.

For they appear a trifling sort,

But truth be known, of great import.

Their angels guard throughout the day

And guide them on the Master's way,

But pride will lead the soul astray

Creating quite a bill to pay.

So listen for the angel's voice

Make true and beautiful your choice,

And you will find the humble way

Your path to everlasting day
