8/2/20 Through 8/8/20

8/2/20 Through 8/8/20

Sunday

Lord, I believe You have in store

A love amazing, and much more.

The beauty here below we see

A rumination dim of Thee.

The man and wife united so,

In ecstasy, to new life grow.

A cloudy haze through which we taste

The love of God, by spouse embraced.

The mountain range or depths below

Is but a glimpse of who we know.

No mortal mind could ere traverse

The wonders of this universe.

But You, the King of all that's known,

Invite us, come, approach the throne.

Explore the myriad of ways 

My love is shown through endless days.

Reject the ways of flesh to see 

That living in reality

Means knowing Christ who loved us so,

To Calvary, with cross, would go.

Monday

With wickedness abounding here 

The wrath of God draws ever near.

The land of free and home of brave,

Repentance now alone will save.

Whims of flesh enslave the land,

Men do not as God had planned.

But recklessly abandon good

And choose the ways that Satan would.

What hope have we to stem this tide,

But reach for Him and there abide?

For He who walks upon the sea,

The only hope to rescue thee.

Tuesday

Write it down within a book,

Allow the interested to look.

Hear the call I make to men,

And turn away from sin again.

Bid us now, approach the throne

To find our God and God alone.

Let nations all revere You then,

And Zion be made whole again.

Wednesday

Great faith a trait not often seen,

But one I wish was my routine.

Too often bound by earthly ways

To see the Lord amid the haze.

So many times I've seen His hand

Do so much more than I had planned.

The Master's touch will magnify

And all my efforts amplify.

Why put such limits on the Lord, 

While all His wonders are ignored?

His love exceeds man's simple mind,

And by our ways, is not confined.

So trust in One who formed the clay

To offer help throughout the day.

No care or need is left unheard,

No task beyond His simple word.

So cast aside the fear today.

Make faith your motto for the day.

Trust in One who loves you so,

Grab onto Him and don't let go.

Thursday

Convinced of glory far beyond,

In dark, before the morn had dawned,

Prophets spoke the word He said,

And spoke of rising from the dead.

A word beyond the mind to see

A grace to truly be set free

From all that clouds our vision here,

And to His Majesty, draw near.

Only glory knows the way

To everlasting light of day, 

Where light surpassing sun will shine

From Thy abiding Love Divine.

Friday

Deny yourself, take up your cross,

Count earthly gain as none but loss.

Then follow Him they crucified,

Until the sinful flesh has died.

And once the sinful flesh is gone,

The light of Christ, will then you don.

With glory as your final lot,

And love, the greatest virtue sought.

Saturday

A witness credible and clear

With ears that listen well, and hear,

The word expounded there for me,

And also there for those that see.

A tiny seed, the mountain moves.

With little faith, no man improves.

Be not afraid I'll let you down,

Your faith will be your great renown.

But trust and see the wonders there,

The works of love beyond compare.

He answers well the ones who call

No need too great or need too small.
