 5/31/26 Through 6/6/26

Sunday

The Three in One, and One in Three

The mystery of the Trinity

Beyond the heart, beyond the mind

A truth, to man, left undefined

We know that what He says is true

But yet we cannot grasp the view

This union so complete, it's One

Yet quite distinct is every One

Now pondering Divinity

Is quite a task for folks like me

But love has many facets, too

Perhaps it's all but point of view.

Monday

Bestowed on us for life and light

Is every gift to climb the height

To share in His Divinity

And grow in love infinitely

A vineyard planted carefully

For man to tend it prayerfully

And raise abundant fruit for wine

To follow in our God's design

But selfish ones refuse to share

Or treat the messengers with care

Instead they beat or killed them all

So, Master will repay their gall

Our job is to produce the fruit

And share in this Divine pursuit,

To grow alike to God above

And share in His abundant love

Tuesday

A test is placed before the Lord,

The wicked thinking they had scored

But as He answers, He reveals

Deceit within their veiled appeals.

No match for Truth and Wisdom here

Their wicked ways become quite clear

When Jesus springs their trap to show

Their questioning as foul and faux

Coming back, shall be in glory

Now is when we write our story

How we trust, and so, believing

Weight of glory, then achieving

Question not, the World's Maker

Be a giver, not a taker

Learn the way of love He's showing

Change your course to where He's going

Wednesday

Greatly misled by the talk of the day

Failing to listen to God when you pray

Caught by the spirit of pride as before

Grasping at less and not waiting for more

Easily swayed by the glitter and shine

Caught in the mesh, the deceitful entwine

Attempting to snare the Truth in a lie

Teaching that men will just die when they die

Not so, says the One who has risen again

For death is the start of a new life for men

Eternally present to God in the light

A victor who conquered the darkness of night.

The Light or the darkness, on Earth here we choose

The pride of the self, or the self here to lose

The gain is delayed, but far greater than pride

We bask in the glow of the Light at our side

Thursday

Love our God, and love your neighbor

Make of this your daily labor

See a need and fill it well

Of our Savior's glory tell

Make His will your search for glory

Give Him praise in every story

Praise His many gifts to man

See what few, on Earth, here can

Sacrifices may be pricey

Looked upon as lavish, nicely

Love eclipses sacrifice

Giving life the needed spice

Friday

If one expects to serve the Lord

He should expect to be ignored

To be one thought as but a fool

To follow such a stupid rule

To love the enemy as friend

To poor and sick, as blest, defend

To look beyond the here and now

To focus after death somehow

But that is what will bring true joy

If selfless love we would employ

For in our suffering we grow

To more and more, our Savior know

For death is not the end, but how

We grow beyond the here and now

To glory, honor, wealth, and fame

Or everlasting fear and shame

It's love alone we take beyond

And only that, relied upon

So, fear not suffering and pain,

But see them as eternal gain.

Saturday

Finish the race with a kick at the end

Give all that you have, so on God, you depend

Seek for His calling, and do as He wills

Amid the confusion, the restless He stills.

Be steady regardless of what you may face

The hurdles are many throughout all the race.

Be patient in teaching the truth as you go

For all have been called and are chosen to know.

But many won't listen, enamored of wealth

They're seeking just pleasure, not eternal health.

Pour out what you have as an offering now

With all that you are, to the Master then bow.

The generous widow was praised by the Lord

For she trusted to God, all she could afford.

Our God is one worthy of all that we own

Do all that you can to make His name known.
