 6/25/23 Through 7/1/23

Sunday

All fear dispelled by perfect love

Our home not here, but up above

For there we see in clearest light

Futility of useless fright.

For One who's numbered every hair

Has promised He will take us where

No moth or worm could e'er destroy

Nor evil sentiments annoy.

Monday

The splinter seen across the way

Is not as bad as people say

But far too often that we see

Before the beam that lies in me.

How clear the sin that's not our own

But blinded eyes have clearly shown

The beam that lies within shall blind

Unless the truth, at last, we find.

Tuesday

The way that few will travel down

Will lead not to a bustling town

But lead unto a quiet way

For those inclined to Him obey

The wide and easy beckons here

The road is broad and way is clear

Come travel where the masses go

With all the wealthy friends you know.

Wednesday

In life, the promise never seen

But from the point of hist'ry glean

Far more than mind could comprehend

And still, His progenies extend.

Great faith He promises shall be

For miracles, the finest key

For naught is done without belief

So trust, at last, He'll bring relief.

The timing never quite our own

But always, in the end, is shown

To be the best and quite sublime

And far above the thoughts of mine

Thursday

Peter and Paul were two men of Good News

Unlikely they be, but ones that You choose

To pass on the Gospel to all of mankind

To offer Your mercy, to loose and to bind.

Each Christian a role in the plan of the King

The Gospel of love, to the masses we bring

By ones or by thousands, we answer the call 

For only by such will we get to them all

The question is what shall we do in this day

To further the cause of expanding the Way

Just look to your neighbor of everyday fare

And find a new way to show that you care.

For one at a time is the most common way

And best is the Gospel expressed here today

When joy is apparent through trial and pain

Disciples anew, and the masses we'll gain.

Friday

A name that's given thee in love

Becomes a sign of such thereof

Declaring who and what you are

Beloved lamb, or shining star.

What's in a name some never know

Or to the deeper meaning go

But in the name, we'll find the key

To who or what, a child shall be

So, wisely choose a name you give

That in such aspect they shall live

To follow on the narrow way

And never turn or fall away.

Saturday

A lack of faith the laugh reveals

A withered body youth conceals

A pagan soldier clearly sees

The cure for every ill disease

Are you a one to recognize,

Or one to simply turn the eyes

Away from that, we see as bread

And fail to see by whom we're fed?
