10/14/18 Through 10/20/18

Sunday

Wisdom far exceeds them all.

So answer to her ringing call.

Riches seem as worthless sand, 

But poverty, with her, is grand.

The one thing that we all must know,

Is love will make the spirit grow.

Nothing can, with it, compare,

No gold or gem is quite so fair.

Monday

The signs are here yet we ignore

The call to worship and adore.

We rather seek to feed desire,

Than lasting food, our souls acquire.

We hold so tightly to our sin.

That prison, with us chained within.

The only way to free the soul

Is turn from sin to be made whole.

Tuesday

The fire of love was shown to her,

A cleansing fire meant to stir

The heart toward love and not to law

For purest love is what she saw.

The inside must be cleansed of sin,

For purest love to enter in.

The outside just an empty sign,

With inside cleansed, prepare to dine.

Wednesday

So crucified the flesh may be,

We fast and pray and offer Thee,

The works and troubles of the day

That sanctified may be our way

No Pharisee or teacher be

Whose showy works say, "Look at Me".

But one who parts the heavy load

And shares the fruits, on him bestowed.

Thursday

Can I but be Your laborer,

And in the minds of others stir,

A ray of light to show the way,

And rescue those who from You stray?

A healing balm to cure the sick.

A lamp with oil moistened wick,

A salt to spark a thirst in men

To listen and obey again.

The fields are ripe, and grain is full.

Give words that on the heartstrings pull.

Then gather in the harvest prize

Before it withers, fades, and dies.

Friday

All secrets will be known one day.

Thing whispered, they will loudly say.

What once in darkness was concealed,

In light, that day, will be revealed.

The secrets will each one be known.

The truth, to all, will then be shown.

Fear not the ones with evil goal,

They have no power o're the soul

Saturday

It's all about the dignity

Of little ones we cannot see.

May Christ enlighten hearts to know,

And wisdom, on our world, bestow.

Show in truth, where glory lies

And through His power, exercise

A resurrection of the mind

That all, the Son, as King, may find.
