No Matter Our Lot

Know God’s love, joy and peace
Are not fruits of circumstances
But fruits of His Spirit
Keep abiding, we’re His branches.

Faith in God, not the Flesh

And learn daily to forgive
Reflecting God’s love
For His goodness and kindness
Daily depend, from above.

Not Carnality but Christ

Recognizing, we’re daily drawn
To sinful, fleeting pleasures
Instead of seeking our God
His holy Presence, our treasure.

Israel and her Foes

And yet our hope is not in weapons
The arm of flesh, will fail
Pray Israel trust in the LORD
Know her Messiah, wholly prevail.

Israel – October 7th, 2023

Yet, our God uses foes
In revealing His plan
That Israel, be saved
Despite the evil of man.

Renewing the Church

Seem so few, will die to self
So ask Jesus, to start using
My life holy, be His witness
Disciple-making, reproducing.

God’s Wisdom, or Wokeness?

My son, receive my words
Treasure my commands
Incline your ear to wisdom
Apply your heart, to understand.

Don’t Harden Your Heart

Don’t harden your heart
Staying stubborn, defiant
With grievances, grudges
Hard-headed, self-reliant.

Put on the New

So daily put on, the new man
In God’s likeness, created
In true righteousness, holiness
Daily victorious, and elated.

Be a Finisher…Gideon’s Downfall

But then sadly, he succumbed
Asked for earrings, from his plunder
Israel gave him much gold
He made an ephod, an evil blunder.
