Jonah 1:10-2 (to disobey)

I see Jonah refusing to hear.

Men around him in great fear.

I see God had a great plan.

For the salvation of man.

l see Jonah cry in despair.

Others see God is right here.

I see whale then spit him out.

Jonah now has no doubt.

I see I must always obey.

Everything Lord does say.

From life’s lesson did learn.

When you rebel.

I cry aloud to the Lord.

The neighbours will see.

Encouraged near you to be.

Eze. 16-19 ( Gods goodness)

God is in control.

We may take a poll.

But God in his might.

Rewards the wrong and the right.

Honours and then bestows.

To the people who he knows.

That the righteous will now live.

With the blessings he will give.

Not judged because of parents.

Or what may seem deterrents.

The goodness of God does give.

To the life that we now live.

Mth. 22:1-14

As privileged invited in.

Distracted by the din.

Of everyday events.

Have you lost your sense ?

To the hungry and the poor.

That they may enjoy the feast.

Though they are seen as least.

For each must not ignore.

What they were before.

As put on that cloak.

Righteousness does denote

Gives me life of bliss.

Our hearts full of deceit.

When others we meet.

In church or outside.

Behaviour God can’t abide.

Despite how he had seen.

What before we had been.

Then to give life.

When in such strife.

No longer do display.

That he saved the day.

Now God seems to curse us.

This is not his real purpose.

But to challenge to restore.

To think of the poor.

Yet much to your shame.

Chase riches and fame.

Now need to face.

You’re a total disgrace.

Mth. 21:33-46

God gave for us a land.

On which we could stand.

For him to review.

All that you’ve done.

The harvest that’s won.

If only we say yes.

Though God’s glory is here.

Wind not in our sails.

As becalmed in the sea.

Fail to reach destiny.

But God has set apart.

To purify your heart.

That though so lonely.

It’s there the Lord shows me.

He can finally restore.

Then give us so much more.

Mth. 21:18-32

When healthy with no fruit.

Withered and are mute.

But then have no doubt.

Confident what Gods about.

And question why.

When asked to go.

Say yes then say no.

Saw but then ignored.

How far from the Lord.

How much I desire you.

In everything l do.

See the beauty of the Lord.

Much more than before.

The wickedness of my heart.

For l was also a part.

Of the rebellion against him.

Yet God asks me to help win.

The new day that will dawn

To stand up and then warn.

Must turn from your ways.

Destroy if he could.

Allowing to live.

While others are hurled.

Out of a total new world.

Better to be poor

Than God ignore
