march 31

Jere. 22-24

God says to the religious must tell.

That I see you are not doing well.

So busy with your piety.

Forgetting the hurting in society.

The Lord who will destroy you all

Outsiders will bring about your fall

You will become captive to them.

Those you thought despicable men.

Both your leaders and you.

Apart from just a few.

Will never return.

As they don’t seem to ever learn.

God will not help those.

Who continually oppose.

Who do not live in accord.

To the will of the Lord.

What sorrow it is to see

Yet then some live righteously.

So as they come to seek me

I release them from captivity.

But I will say it again.

Even the priests leave a stain.

Their prophets sing a song.

That encourage what is wrong

Refusing to even listen.

Or give an admission.

To the failures they do.

That are in full view.

Like figs that are bad.

Yet some figs can be had.

To bring back to life.

From bitterness and strife.

But the bad figs illustrate.

The rebellious and their fate.

Lk. 22:1-38

How sad is the state we are in

As Gods followers desert him.

Who came to seek and to save.

Pray faith to now make us brave.

As he sits at table we see.

How we can now so bravely.

Overcome our own disaster.

By the sacrifice of our master.

Who as servant came.

Not seeking fortune or fame.

Telling us he also knows.

We will face highs and lows.

Ps. 6

Lord don’t rebuke me in anger

For I know l am in danger

Please do not delay.

Protect me I pray.

I struggle to now see.

For you seem to have left me.

May you now return.

So that I can again learn.

So others see the goodness of you.

Because of all that you now do.

Prov. 8:34-36

Joyful will be those who wait.

Outside the Lords gate.
