11/8/26 Through 11/14/26

11/8/26 Through 11/14/26

Sunday

In Him alone we  find our peace

A calm and safety ne'er to cease

Resplendent and unfading love

That draws the heart and soul above

Who waits for Wisdom shall not fail

All other loves besides her pale

All prudence in perfection there

For she releases every care

What gift to know this love sublime

To thirst and ever more to find

With lighted lamps to rule the day

The prudent shall prepare the way

It's not enough to know what's true

It must be guide for all we do

To ready make the soul for You

And be among the chosen few.

Monday

The Temple is a sacred place

Where dwells the Holy Spirit's grace

You are the Temple for the Lord

Where grace was meant to be outpoured

To flow through you to water well 

The arid sands where sinners dwell

To bring the word of life to those

In peril due to what they chose

Be watered by the flow from Him

To wash away the years of sin

And give the fruit for man to eat

To make the cycle then complete.

Tuesday

No praise is due for work well done

It is what's due from servant sons

Our place within this world well known

Is but a servant we are shown

But who and how we serve is key

The One supreme we serve is Thee

Such honor comes from serving Thee

Who made us all, and made us free.

Be dignified in every way

Give none an evil word to say

But let them find you stout, secure

With all your ways both clean and pure.

Wednesday

With gratitude for all He's done

We magnify God's only Son

Unselfish love the gift He gave

To foolish, lost, and sinners save

Mankind was lost to sin that day

Our parents chose the evil way

And disregarded Love's command

To be like gods amid the land

But that just caused a void between

True God and man, as all have seen

We're all unclean with our disease

And Perfect Love we cannot please

But in His love beyond the sky

He sent His only Son to die

To wash away the sins of man

And offer all salvation's plan

The grateful turn and change their way

But many cleansed still turn away

They choose the way of pleasure now

And forfeit Perfect Love somehow.

Thursday

One useless now declared a gem

When he became as one of them

No more the motivation slack

For love was there when he came back

A slave once, now a brother more

With love of Christ his central core

Companion in the work of love

Devoted to our God above

You owe me much, now even more

Returning him could square the score

But only if your will is so

To help my work of love to grow

As lightning flashes 'cross the sky

God's kingdom now is drawing nigh

A gift as this could give to you 

An ever greater Godly view

Friday

As so it was in Noah's day

The Ark still thought a fool's display

We never think the time is now

And so, we miss the boat somehow.

For all the time is short below

The time or day will no one know

We must be ready any time

To hear the final church bell chime

For death will come to all one day

With no more time to turn or pray

We must be pointed to the sky

Or fear the day upon we die

The second chance is here below

It's time for judgment when we go

So, plead for mercy while there's time

Then, on your way to Heaven climb.

Saturday

Will faith be found when Jesus comes?

Then knowledge of the faith becomes

For then you see in clearest light

What were but shadows in the night

Whate'er you do down here below

Your true position it will show

How you believe and how you pray

Will faith or lack in you display

Are you persistent in your prayer,

Or one who's subject to despair?

True faith is trust all He allows

Was meant to greater love arouse

Don't turn away when all is bleak

It's often then we hear Him speak

He purifies the base below

To see what love the Cross did show

Such love was meant and made for man

But sin's attempt to thwart the plan

Was met with Love so pure and clean

No grave could hold, as it was seen.

Don't ever stop believing Love

It's how you'll find your home above

Persistent prayer to God alone

Will bring the sinner safely home
