6/4/23 Through 6/10/23

 6/4/23 Through 6/10/23

Sunday

So far above my feeble ways

This unity of love

I see but through a milky haze

A triune God above

Expand my mind to understand

What sages came to know

That Father Son and Spirit planned

Salvation long ago

Monday

Discomfort comes when I am seen

As sinner and a one unclean

But how to meet discomfort well

Is that of which I wish to tell

So many leave and turn away 

When e'er vexation comes their way

But this will not effect a change

Nor circumstances rearrange.

For those in sin must turn away

Repenting of their sinful way

And look to see what love demands

By following the Lord's commands.

.This way the soul can rest in peace

When lust and greed and malice cease

So turn not from the life within

But turn repentant of the sin.

Tuesday

Give to each what there belongs

Do the right and fix the wrongs

Be not blinded to the good

But act as a believer should

Spirit comes in time of need

Giving grace to plant a seed

Worry not what you will say

Let the Spirit guide the way

Men will try to make you slip

Advocate shall well-equip

Place your trust in Him alone

Let the word be freely sown

Wednesday

A new perspective given thee

Enables that you more would see

For when we see from here below

The earthly only we would know

But if we'd see it all like He

We'd know a greater plan there be

So we must trust His will is best

Forsaking all the worthless rest

Oh give me eyes that see beyond

The temporal things of which I'm fond

Then teach me how to truly love

And take me to my home above.

Thursday

The marriage bed is blessed by God

To kick Him out would be a fraud

For all we have has come from Him

The heart and head and every limb

When in His will the bed is made

The rule of love is thus obeyed

There self is given free and whole

In body, mind, and even soul.

The fruit produced in such a way

Will learn to love and often pray

Then in the family we'll see

Reflections of the Trinity

Friday

My Lord, Your blessings granted me

Exceed the breadth of what I see

The way Your daily blessings flow

The children everywhere should know

We take for granted, Daily Bread

And Scripture which upon we're fed

Good health, and shelter warm and bright

Protection in the darkest night

Forgive this shamed, repentant heart

And grant once more a brand-new start

Another blessing undeserved

From One who gives with none reserved.

Saturday

A will to match His holy will

Is that which empty hearts shall fill

A gentle trust with all we own

To prove our God is God alone

A simple yes or widow's mite

A will to with our Lord unite

Will bring far more than heaps of gold

If we would give our hearts to mold

Let Him be Lord of all we do

To find a new and diff'rent view

A view that leads to peace and joy

That circumstances ne'er destroy
