Judges. 7-9

Unfaithfulness caused this problem

Now how can l overcome them.

Seemed in my very own way

I could have victory on this day.

But Lord wanted to show me.

He alone would defeat the enemy.

In secret get down and listen.

It will confirm your vision.

How to overcome in the fight.

In friends and the enemies sight.

But then see once again.

The effects of sins stain.

Causes even more disruption.

Death and destruction.

Mth. 16:13-28

While yet favoured in my eyes.

Many others will come to despise.

Obadiah

God has made a call.

Yet world sees you as small.

Especially when you state.

Look I am so great.

Things taken from.

You wanted all along.

A disaster does await.

Is going to be your fate.

Those who were on your side.

Your relationship now has died.

In disaster they stood aloof.

This seems all the proof.

So you have God annoyed.

And now will be destroyed.

But then I will see.

Deliverance just for me.

God will then say yes.

It is all yours to possess.

2 John.

I just want to say.

This is a new day.

Make sure as you follow him.

The Lords Spirit abides within.

Mth. 15;1-14

As they come to accuse.

It will come to an end.

In a world that was not to nice.

It’s your faith that will show.

Lead the world to rejoice and know.

How holy our God is.

Our lives should show this.

That you can come to him.

The living stone you trust in.

While others may ignore.

For you it’s heavens open door.

For then by doing good.

Gods goodness can be understood.

As by His wounds you are healed.

In your life truth is revealed.

Not from outward riches.

That men the world over bewitches.

But by doing good things

How peace of God it brings.

Even as you do all this.

But then l see the waves.

In the face of his people.

For God is the only one.

Gives victory when said and done.

All nations will now see.

How God defeats the enemy.

I from mountain have now seen.

Mine it could well have been.

But l cannot there now go.

In building the nation state

As God gives a helping hand.

To possess the promised land.

As they see their enemies flee.

I’m just a distant memory.
