6/10/18 Through 6/16/18
Sunday
Deep within we long for that
Which time will never change
We want far more than idle chat
Or something to exchange
We look for lasting peace and joy
No transitory bliss
A peace no power can destroy
Or happening dismiss
A glory in eternity
Where we are called His kin
No better place that one could be
Than Father's house within.
Monday
How truly bless-ed are the meek
Un-faded by the storm
For what the world may say is weak
Will simply not conform
The truth they know and hold it fast
In spite of storms that come
They know what will forever last
And who will bring them home.
Tuesday
May I forget my own desires
And quickly do what love requires
For love abandons selfishness
To aid the one who's in distress.
True love will love the greater thing
And not the pleasures lust can bring.
A heart with such a love so rare
Will bring our Savior everywhere.
Wednesday
How have we drifted so far away
To follow what so many people say,
Abandoning One who is faithful and true
To follow the crowd, and do what they do?
Why would a nation, blest as they are
Depart from the way that has blest them so far?
Sin is the answer that causes the drift,
Sin has created a tectonic shift.
No longer we see with the clearest of eyes
Fooled by the mask of sinful disguise
Truth becomes blurred by logic of fools
Then pride makes the lot as stubborn as mules
We need an Elijah to come in our day
To speak with all boldness and show us the way
To slay the false prophets with words from above
And lead us again in the way of His love.
Thursday
Help me to be a man of prayer
And show your love no matter where
Help me to listen when You speak
And show the way to those who seek.
Friday
In humble faith, Elijah's prayer
It seems was answered without care
For all his worry clear expressed
And offered not, him any rest
But called him yet to still obey
And in the silence there to pray
Then bid him, go, and then anoint
Successors whom I now appoint
Saturday
To do Your will is my delight
For in Your will is joy and light
And following that simple way
Will lead me to a brighter day
So cast Your cloak of love on me
That now at last, I clearly see.
How only when I do Your will
Does happiness in me instill.
