march 11

2Kings 18-20

So often it does seem.

The God in whom we lean

Who we have always depended on.

Yet the enemy says he has won

All the battles he has faced.

And he will easily destroy you.

You are weak and so few.

But The Lord then will say.

Because you pleaded with me today

I will defeat the enemy.

Destroying them absolutely.

Then you were told you would die.

And before the Lord did cry.

Pleading you now asked why.

Father is it possible for you to give.

Fifteen more years for me to live.

He agreed and I felt good.

Delighted as anyone would.

Proudly telling all men.

That pride the Lord did condemn.

Lk. 15:11-22

So often we are full of greed.

Want more than our presentt need.

Squander all the Lord did give.

In the way we decided to live.

But when we saw our great need

That the Lord alone could us feed

We returned humbly to him.

Who our only hope was in.

Amazing he then did restore.

Just like it was before.

Much to my brothers disgust.

Who could only see my past lust.

Ps. 27

Jesus gave salvation all my life.

He has delivered me from strife.

So why should I now feel sorry.

Despairing and full of worry.

When world seems to devour me.

For Jesus has set me free.

To live in the house of the Lord.

Where he cannot be ignored.

To be in his sanctuary

When I feel tired and weary.

Though I may now seem stationary.

I wait for the Lord patiently

Prov. 7:10-20

Don’t ever be deceived.

By those who have never believed.

March 10

When Gods people do evil.

They become feeble.

Then worship other gods.

That are all at odds.

With law God had told.

Brings the enemy into their fold.

So then came that day.

When the enemy took them away.

From Gods special space

To a far and distant place

But then came Hezekiah.

Realised the need was dire.

Turned to the Lord.

Who he worshiped and adored.

Victory became his.

He was victorious.

But realised his lack

When the enemy did attack.

Lk. 15:1-10

Even sinners come to him.

Who they believe in.

While the self-righteous say.

There is absolutely no way.

That l have the right

To be in Gods sight.

Jesus said this is not true.

When sinners just like you.

Come follow in my way.

There’s rejoicing in heaven today.

Just like when the coin is lost.

No matter the time or cost.

What fills your mind.

You must seek out and find.

What is valuable to you.

Your old faith then renew.

Ps. 112

How blessed are those.

Who God has chose.

Confidently I see.

God has blessed me.

Remembered forever now

Before God and bow.

Darkness overcome in the light.

Not acceptable in others sight.

Prov. 7-6

What seems alright to do.

Can be dangerous to you.

March 9

2Kings 13-15

As look back on kings of history.

It really is a profound mystery.

That Gods word survived at all.

As they rebelled against his call.

It is a lesson for me.

That even though seemingly.

The world is led by those.

Who in many ways oppose.

And do not live in accord.

With the word of the Lord.

God is still with me.

He controls my destiny.

Unbelievably.

I am free.

Lk. 14:25-35

Before you start, count the cost.

Otherwise you will be lost.

For to live in accord

With the will of the Lord.

Means to always have a thirst.

To put him absolutely first.

Ps. 106. :24-28

We see it all again.

We are rebellious in the main.

Though seem God to follow

Our faith in hard times is hollow.

Yet despite all that I do.

I plead and call to you.

Come Lord, come set me free.

For I praise and worship thee.

And thank your holy name.

Which heals the weak and lame.

Prov. 7:3-5

Be very deliberate.

Amongst who you sit.

march 7

2Kings 10:12

When good men get annoyed

For Gods purposes being destroyed

Flouting the will of the Lord.

And do not live in accord.

To what God expects.

It has devastating effects.

For there is no doubt.

They will be found out.

Then those who have no right.

In God or the people’s sight.

Destroy all that is then good.

In the local neighbourhood.

A small remnant remain

So that one day they reclaim

Their right to the throne.

For it was always theirs alone.

Then repairs could finally be done.

To build again Gods kingdom.

Lk. 14:15-24

How blessed to be invited in.

Where there is a feast within.

Though poor and in need.

The Lord knows l need a feed.

While those that are self- satisfied

Find their hopes have finally died.

Ps. 106:1-23

Gods faithfulness lives forever.

Though we fail he does never.

Our past failures all on display.

But even then God has his way.

He rescued and he saved.

Despite how l behaved.

Lord says follow my advice.

Nothing else will suffice.

March 6

2Kings. 7-8

The Lord will end the famine.

Gods word fulfilled in him.

Our hunger and our thirst.

Filled enough to burst.

As we stand to listen.

We hear of the jesus mission.

To save and restore.

Just like it was before.

You have been appointed to fulfil.

What God has told you to do.

Lk. 14:1-14

When they are watching you.

To see what you will do.

Would it really be right.

To claim healing in their sight.

But as Lord now invites me.

Just sit with him humbly.

For God does invite.

The weak in the worlds sight.

Ps. 136:13-26

When I think of all things God has done.

The victories in my past life he has won.

Nobody will ever sever

Prov. 6:32-35

His love endures forever

I will continue to acclaim.

Victory in the Lords name.

For the man who commits adultery is a fool.

For his heart God no longer does rule.

Match 5

2 Kings 4-6

Amazing what Gods man can do

When he. totally believes in you.

Raises mothers child when dead.

In famine make sure we are fed.

Takes poison out of your stew.

Gives food surprising you

Heals when you obey.

Doing what Gods man does say.

But when see him meet the need.

Severely judge if filled with greed.

Miracles are seen all around.

Even axe head can be found.

When the enemy seems outsize

God opens the servants eyes.

Blinds the the enemy.

When in danger then sets them free

When your world in great despair.

You will see the man of God is here.

Lk. 13:18-35

What is Gods kingdom?

From seed grows the one.

Cleansed like yeast in the doe.

Righteousness then might grow

Don’t live like you did before.

Path to heaven is a narrow door

A feast can then be had.

If miss out you’ll be sad.

Lord says when he would set free

How l wanted them to follow me.

Ps. 136:1-12

Gods faithful love endures forever.

Whatever happens he did never.

Fail me in all my days.

My heart is full of praise.

His faithful love endures forever.

We will praise him all together.

Prov. 6:30-31

There will be no excuses

The disobedient loses

Match 4

2Kings. 1-4

Elijah was sent to confront.

The king who was an affront

To God in so many ways.

Told it was the end of his days.

Elijah had no fear.

Realised his end was near.

Elisha saw that too.

Said l refuse to leave you.

Please won’t you bless me too.

So blessed right at the start.

As saw Elijah depart.

Elisha saw his world a mess.

But he came to bless.

Both the kings and the poor.

As the goodness of God they saw

Lk. 13:1-17

When all my hopes die.

Is it because of my faults l sigh?

Jesus say not so.

Though you face much woe.

As long as you repent.

My judgment l will relent.

And give you another go.

That your fig tree might grow.

For l came to restore.

Which others cannot ignore.

Ps. 77

What a disaster I’m feeling

Constantly I’m appealing.

To Jesus who saves

I have seen how he behaves.

History and all my life.

He has comforted when in strife.

Led me in his ways.

All of my days.

Prov. 6:29

It is just commonsense

There is always consequence.

march 3

1Kings. 21-22

When it is obvious.

That God is not with us.

Because we seek to claim.

Because of our fame.

What is not really ours.

Sometime the Lord allows.

Then in spiritual pride

With good men by your side.

We are deceived by those

Who God sent to oppose.

In battle you sort to win.

That Gods Spirt was not in

Ignore and went instead.

Ended up on your death bed.

Lk 12:49-59

There will always be divisions.

When on you earthly missions.

For though you do know.

The highs and the low.

But spiritually

You cannot really

See what you knew.

To be right and true

Please God come rescue me.

From all bad company.

But l am in need.

Desperate to be freed.

In my dismay

Lord do not delay.

Prov. 6:26-28

Whar trouble you’re in.
