1Chron. 19-23

When made to look a fool , embarrassingly. Revealing they were my real enemy.

The Lords army will defend, the attack from those we did befreind.

With a clever strategy , but mainly with Gods help we could see.

Then we could subdue, all those we knew.

Fighting for the Lords kingdom, defeating all opposition.

Though our strength was in the Lord. We needed to be assured.

That we were real strong, though told that was wrong.

Confronted by disaster, we repented before Christ our master

For though we were brave, he alone came to save.

Just build an altar of sacrifice, that all you need now that will suffice.

Made us so want to build something new, a temple Lord just honouring you. .

But Lord your word says, this cannot happen in my days.

For blood tears and toil. Would my heavenly temple spoil.

For it will be a place of glorious rest and peace, where all sorrow shall forever cease.

Built by the Fathers Son, showing his glory to everyone.

Who are chosen for that day. Each in Gods temple have a part to play.

Mark 4:1-12

If listen to what Jesus said, the spirit inside you will be fed.

But some will hit dry ground, never again to be found.

Some fell on shallow soil, where the heat of the day did spoil.

Some stuck amoung the thorn, tender vulnerable feeling forlorn.

But some heard Gods word, the spirit within them stirred.

Producing an everlasting crop, that grew and just would not stop.

Some will hear this and understand, some will never see what God has planned.

Ps. 119:9:16

Lord your word is everything, salvation and understanding it does bring.

It is all l live for, the only place l saw.

How you could direct each day, along the straight and narrow way.

Prov. 20:19-21

Life will challenge you, in everything you do.
