2/17/19 Through 2/23/19

Sunday

Blessed is what all wish to be,

A fruitful and productive tree.

Not bothered by the scorching sun,

With roots that far, and deeply run.

Monday

With God in flesh we have the sign

No other will the teacher find.

For they refuse to heed the word

Of righteousness that they have heard.

Though sin be lurking at the door

To master it, if you implore,

He grants the grace for mortal man,

And shows the humble that they can.

Tuesday

The wickedness in hearts of men,

A leaven that polluted them.

Refusing to acknowledge God,

Or all His mighty works applaud.

Let wickedness be swept away

In torrent flood like Noah's day.

As waters cleanse and newness sprout

May this new man, be sin without.

Wednesday

What wickedness in Noah's day!

Was it much more than ours today?

Were babes within the womb destroyed,

And every deviance employed?

Were masses fed with blatant lies,

And truth deliberately disguised?

Our day deserves the flood and worse.

Instead of love, we choose a curse.

So many blind and few that sees

Much more than men as walking trees.

Healing's needed for the masses.

Fit them with Your loving glasses.

Thursday

Recall as numbers quickly mount,

For every life we must account.

The life of babes convenience priced,

As myriads are sacrificed.

Each one the image of our God,

Including those considered flawed.

A gift He gives which love supplies,

Yet love rejected fades and dies.

Friday

The keys He gives to humble ones

To shepherd all His faithful sons,

And guide the flock along the way

In hopes that none would ever stray.

But ere they fall as sinful men,

Forgiveness welcomes back again.

To heal the sick and strengthen faint,

And make the sinner now a saint.

Saturday

Faith and trust in what is said

By Him who made the sky,

Can heal the sick, or raise the dead,

And brighten up the eye.

By faith we see beyond the clouds 

To land of clearer light,

Above the din of skeptic crowds

To land where ne'er is night.

One shining and majestic where

The One they crucified,

Reigns beside the Father there,

Acclaimed and glorified.
