 8/28/22 Through 9/3/22

Sunday

Why will humble be exalted

And the prideful ones be faulted?

Why the first ones as the last ones

And the orphaned ones as sons?

In the realm of One so holy

Every man is oh, so lowly.

And all we value here below

Is like one simple flake of snow

Each He made a different shape.

Some great, some small, but all create.

The wonderland of wintertime

And all are beauty in His mind.

The proud prefer the old and gray

And follow in their selfish way

Invited but they cannot see

How good obedience would be.

But humble know their true position

And accept their simple mission

Just follow as the Master planned

And be a part of Wonderland.

Monday

The world should be a better place

Because of how we live.

Responding to abundant grace

And freely how we give.

If purity would rule the day

And lust be ever gone

Then children learn the proper way 

To others they be drawn.

Tuesday

Lord help me lift the dim disguise

And see as evil with my eyes

The things that draw away from Thee

And focus all on only me.

Within me let Your Spirit dwell

With every gift my soul to swell

So You alone my soul adores

And all my ways be formed as Yours

Wednesday

It's time for eating solid food,

The word of God within you cued.

It's time for all to do their part

And more than just a smolder start.

To fan the flame of love received

Enlight'ning those by sin deceived

To shine the light where darkness reigns

And break the bond of evil chains.

The lame be cured, the captive freed

A time of favor then decreed

But each must answer well the call

And not His holy will forestall.

Thursday

Put in to deep water disciples are told

For there you will graces and mercies behold.

Then lower the net and prepare for a catch

A mission for you is about to be hatched.

Obedience finds in the weakest of men

The strength to endure every suffering when

His word they obey never counting the cost

Not mourning the pleasure or benefit lost.

But faithfully following His every word

As soon as it's spoken, as soon as it's heard.

The grace He'll supply every step of the way

And give you His strength every hour of the day.

Friday

Enilighten darkness deep within

Expose the motives of my sin

Bring healing where the flesh is torn

And bring the freshness of the morn.

The time is now to fast and pray

Illumine now the narrow way.

Make new the wineskin of my soul

Your love and mercy I extol.

Saturday

In emptiness your cup be filled

For this is what the Father willed

And naught you have is truly yours

As faith and trust alone secures.
