Josh 14-15

The promised land was divided , into seperate areas the Lord decided.

Each tribe to conquer their own, by their own ancestry were known.

Caleb who had never been afraid, asked for the promise Moses had made.

Though knew giants did belong, God had been with him all along.

Caleb then his daughter gave, what she asked for she too was brave.

So at last the land of peace was mine, everything had turned out fine.

As we lived in accord ,to the will of the Lord.

Mark 10:1-12

Jesus was not controlled, by what his world told.

But by the word of Gods law, that nobody could ignore.

For when two become one, it is not for anyone.

To now debate , for they now relate .

As husband and wife , for the rest of their life.

For our troubles can be all blamed. When broken what God has ordained.

Ps. 103:1-12

Let all that l am praise the Lord, for have taken his lessons aboard.

Though broken his laws, he comes and restores.

His love and goodness brings, so many good things

He has so blessed me, I feel now totally free

From oppression and strife, that I had made in my life.

So often feel I failed . But the Lords love prevailed.

Prov. 22:27-29

Josh. 11-13

When we seem to be victorious, it is then the enemy comes determined to defeat us.

But the Lord will go on ahead , so we kill each of those enemies dead.

Finally to win the war, that we had so longed for.

Now we could live in peace , our conscience finally at ease.

When all was said and done, when look back on every battle won.

Now separated in a decision , to divide promised land we live in.

Though knowing all along, among us some don’t belong.

Mk. 9:38-50

Sometimes we look to criticise and blame, when see others that also claim.

The healing power of Jesus, thinking he is special just to us.

But God says this is not true, my blessings are not exclusive to you.

What really does matter, sin that causes a believer to fall off the ladder.

No longer the salt of the earth, instead evilness in his life gives birth.

That is what needs cutting away, if the Lord is to have his perfect way.

Ps 84

How lovely Lord your dwelling place, when I have overcome each enemy l face.

I come joyfully before the Lord, though small , nothing is ignored.

Strength given to those, who come to you, for they chose.

Their faith Lord in you. and see a new blessing come into view.

For every day, along the way, your goodness is on display.

I see so much grace and glory, in the Lords amazing story.

For who ever comes to fight, is small in the Lords sight.

Wherever you go, you overcome your foe.

Mark. 9:30-37

I did lay down my life said Jesus, while we create a great fuss.

For those. meek and mild, Know they are the Father’s child

Ps. 119:169-176

Lord listen to my cry, help me to discern how to get by,

All people thought how strong are you. But it was the Lord to who honour was due.

Must circumcise the heart, at the very start.

To banish at last , slavery of the past.

Everything now right here, with nothing to fear.

Amazing to see, God was for me.

The walk around the wall, seeming impenetrable and tall.

Praising the Lord, who they had ignored.

Their walls came tumbling down , your victory became renown.

Seem so easy to do, for God had blessed you.

Then defeated by those who oppose , because of what some among you choose

For sin that dwelled in the heart , had defiled every part.

Because the Lord it did annoy , we knew we had to destroy.

Then victory came our way, the very next day.

Now build a monument, acknowledging the trouble God sent.

When we were misled , not obeying what Gods word said.

Mk 9:14-29

To be brave and courageous , to do something that may seem outrages.

Obey what Gods word tell, and all will go well.

First you can check it out, then it will leave you in no doubt.

For this will be a test, if you are to come into Gods rest.

As you hear that all opposition, has heard of your vision.

That God is for you, in everything you do.

Now must now be purified, all sin is put aside.

Then your people too, when see the Lord is with you.

Amazed at what they saw, as the Lord went before.

As cross over at Gods command. , following the priests on dry land

Giving such confidence in me, for the Lord was with me.

A memorial rock then raised, as all the people now praised.

And locked in our memory. And for future people to see.

Mark 9:1-13

Some will never die, for they know Jesus that is why.

As taken up the mountain with Lord, his majesty could not be ignored.

As we come down the mountain. , the Lord now did explain.

How he was ready to fulfil, Gods perfect will.

For all like John have to face, Loneliness abuse and disgrace.

Though many may put me down, you Lord smile and don’t frown.

For it has long to me occurred. the truth of your word.

Prov. 22:14-16

August 25

2&3 John. Jude.

There should be no doubt, to love God and brother reveals truth about.

The nature of the church and God, which may seem quite odd,

To the world in which we live, that has little love to give.

Truth with love reveal, how God will always heal.

Distortions that tell a lie, the real truth try to deny.

You must always support those, who rise up and oppose.

All down through history , we see the enemy try to destroy.

We must join battle to defend, the truth that God did intend.

Though some would connive. To teach our need to strive.

To follow Gods true word, that we have believed and have always heard.

It is amazing how God does say. You are righteous in Jesus in every way.

Despite those who would aspire, to promote what they desire.

Just as Jesus showed great mercy, in stetting us forever free

Love but with great caution, those who live in that deception.

All glory to Lord Jesus alone, that the truth has always be known.

Mark 8:27-38

Jesus asks who do people say I am, we know all sorts who work in Gods plan.

But you Lord are the Messiah , our one and only desire.

But you should know this thing, it could lead to so much suffering.

Though you may think a lie, To think otherwise is to deny.

The way of the cross, where we forfeit at great loss.

Our own deceitful desire, as Christ alone we admire.

Ps 119:137-144

Lord the word is so wonderful, it blesses my very soul.

I see it in every way, as I see new truth each day.

Though lowly and despised , l am constantly surprised.

Exd. 17:8:16. Ruth 2:13. Gal. 3:27.

When evil men the Lords purpose fight. Gods people always have in sight.

The banner of the cross , to prevent any great loss.

United in Christ I am selected. , in my baptism forever protected.

August 22

1 John 1-3:10

Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end. I bow before you forever to defend.

That you are the Christ and King. My Lord creator of everything.

What has been revealed to me, l write so the whole world can see.

That they also can enjoy, what this world would try to destroy.

To give you insight , that you might be a shining light.

Dispelling all that is sin, as Christ now abides within.

Though it is still true, weakness is seen in you.

Those failures hidden inside, there is no way you can hide.

So now just come and confess, Jesus can get you out of the mess.

For we believe his sacrifice, for young and old believers will suffice.

So we also can live a life of love , that emulates that of God above.

And young when go into battle, their faith not deterred or brittle.

And those who are mature, may grow in their stature.

Careful to do no wrong , that would say you do not belong.

So be careful in these last days, to follow what Gods word says.

For we are children of God , to the world that may seem odd.

But to all who truly believe, Gods eternal blessing will receive.

Mark 8:1-13

It is just so amazing to see, how Jesus provides for me.

For I had such little to supply , so faint and weary was I.

Now l seem so blessed. I cross over the sea Jesus as my guest.

To be confronted by, those who demand proof God does not lie.

After what they have seen, So ridiculous that does seem.

Ps. 121:119-128

Lord though I’m struggling in the worlds sight. Help me to always do what is just and right.

The arrogant always oppress, put me under such terrible stress.

Help me live in your will, as your purpose l try to fulfil.

Though righteousness it demands, l still so love your commands.

Prov. 22:4-7

True humility as you live in fear, of God so mighty his love and care.
