Waiting
Upon the Lord

All give me strength to begin
Again

Everyday Life
While the world is falling apart
My neighbors and I are building
Relationships, gardens, and ideas
In our little corner of the world
We are making the most of each day
That we have to build friendships and
Create beauty while we can
No not burying our heads in the sand
But focusing on the positive
And ignoring negativity
We live sensibly in unity
Praying, trusting in theLord and doing good
Syllabic Verse
Sheltered
Living
In the shadow
Of good things yet to come
Sheltered by His shade on my
Right hand
Cinquain
The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord is your shade on your right hand.
Psalm 121:5
Eftsoon
I came
Soon afterward
Twas just at the right time
They said, but I knew Father had
It planned
Cinquain
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Jeremiah 29:11
Purpose
Raised up for what?
To show His power in you!
Declare His name
Everywhere you travel
That’s His purpose for you
Tanka
Based on Exodus 9:16 scripture where the Lord was speaking to Moses regarding His purpose in dealing with Pharaoh. Just as the Lord raised up Moses for that purpose, so has He done the same for all of us who believe.
We all have a purpose. He created each of us to fulfill His plan. Wherever we are today we can show forth His power as we declare His name. It’s not about us, it’s about Him.
Searcher of the Scattered
As a Good Shepherd
The Lord God
Seeks, saves His sheep
Syllable Lune
“For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.”
Ezekiel 34:11-12 KJV
Blessings and Sorrows
As blessings come
So do many sorrows
All have some
Present, or tomorrows
Like a beating drum
Life constantly harrows
As blessings come
So do many sorrows
Keep the faith to overcome
And stand strong in all the morrows
Rhyme
Inspired by:–Don Moen–“Be It Onto Me” song lyrics:
“You promised to carry our sorrows
Lord, we believe it’s true
You promised unending tomorrows
Lord we receive them from you“
Rooted in the Word
How long
The winds do blow
Upon my weary head!
I dig in my heels, standing firm
In Him.
Cinquain
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:6-7 NKJV
Abundance
Abundant
Blessings in the Lord
Plethora
Opulence
Of grace, love, mercy,
Faith and hope in Christ
Shadorma
And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 1:14
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1:3
Lord,
Whom have I but You?
To help when I’m sad and blue,
To plant a new seed,
To lift me in times of need,
To listen to prayers I plead.
Tanka
(Based on Psalm 73: 25-26)
Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Thank You Lord, for always bring there for me, to listen, care and help.
