6/29/25 Through 7/5/25

 6/29/25 Through 7/5/25

Sunday

Who is He? The people will say,

A prophet, like back in the day?

A One from above with a passion for love

And showing a drastic new way.

But who do you say that I am?

True God in the form of a man

This word given you by My Father is true

And here, for the Church, is My plan.

The Rock is the chief among men

The others will go to him when

Dispute shall arise, or need compromise

His word is the final Amen.

The devil will try to deceive

The weakest of those who believe

But never shall he pull the wool over thee

If close to the Cross, you will cleave.

Monday

I need Your help to see the sky

I need Your help to know just why

These words are here forever framed

As Scripture and as such acclaimed.

In Sodom, here I think we see

How patient that our Lord can be

Forebearing such calamity

If worthy, just a few would be.

Your mercy is what all men need

And mercy's comfort what we plead,

But mercy needs repentance so

You know the proper way to go.

All mercy fails if wrong we go

When still the righteous way we know

For holiness, each man must choose

Or in the end, he all will lose.

Tuesday

Once rescued from the midst of woe

Again to sin, we must not go

Not even look with longing eye

Or lest you turn to stone and die.

We cannot let the chains of sin

Gain purchase on the heart within

We flee from sin to save the soul

And strain ahead to reach the goal.

Through mighty wind and stormy sea

The faithful, to the promise, flee

But only One can calm the wave

And still the wind to sinner save.

In fear, we see His mighty hand

But love is in His each command

He cured the sick, the lame, the blind

And all, through Him, the Truth will find.

Wednesday

Do we also ask the Lord to leave,

Or to His words of wisdom cleave?

Are words of wisdom gladly heard,

Or selfish demons more preferred?

We make a home within each heart

Where love can grow, or evil start.

Where love is welcomed, fruit will grow

But selfish, much division know.

The chains of sin preferred by some

For they refuse to know the Son.

They hear His voice and see His deeds

But only more contempt it breeds.

When He reveals what's deep within

We must reject the sordid sin.

If we refuse to bend our will

We simply wallow in the swill.

True freedom's offered every man

But only humble, docile, can

Receive with open, loving hands

Unhindered by the evil bands.

Don't shoo the Blessed One away,

But offer rest and ask to stay.

Such love as His before unknown

Is now unto the humble shown.

Thursday

Be no longer unbelieving

But proclaim Him as your God

Although trying, not deceiving

That disgraceful, worthless fraud.

The devil tries denying still

The risen Christ as Lord

Believers see his filthy swill

In light of love restored.

No need to probe His hands and side

But simply look around

Believers on the roughest ride

Somehow, true joy have found.

Friday

Why should a woman be drawn to a man?

Somehow, it is part of the Father's great plan.

The rough and the smooth, the strong and the weak,

Are drawn to be one as each other they seek.  

The beauty, the beast, the man and his bride

The odds of their coming together defied.

But plans have been made by the Father above

To bring them together in self-giving love.

For simply, a call has been placed on each life 

Most commonly called to be man and wife

If called to be married or single it's true

The Lord has a call He made special for you.

So, look in the mirror and search in your soul

What else do you need to make your life whole?

If something is lacking, then answer God's call

He made you for gift, and for giving your all.

Saturday

Don't try to save what's old and worn

A patch that's new will soon be torn

Then wine and skin will both be lost

And both amid the rubbish tossed.

In ways anew prepare to fast

That wine and skins are made to last

With power of unselfish gift

To God the offering we lift.
