2Chron. 19-21

When Gods appointed leader returned, it was then from Gods word he learned.

He had been so wrong, in supporting those who to the world belong.

Yet then he went out , serving the Lord so there was no doubt.

That all his people understood, we must serve God for our own good.

Judging right in every way, Gods righteousness to display.

Then he was horrified to find the fact , a huge army was about to attack.

He cried before the Lord, this great threat cannot be ignored.

Then he was told , in God you can be bold.

Go out to meet the enemy, you will see Gods delivery.

So while marching out singing in praise, the Lord destroyed all opposition within days.

Their riches he said are mine, so returned home feeling sublime.

But then all over again , joined those who treated God with disdain.

Their hopes all destroyed. For God was annoyed.

A new leader then appointed, Gods people he so disappointed.

Finally to die, and we all know why.

Mark 6:14-29

The word soon spread, to the authority, who always refused to bow the knee.

Their destiny as lord and master, was just turning out a disaster.

As they decided to kill, the one God used for his to fulfil

The purpose of Gods kingdom, recognised by everyone.

Ps. 119: 73-80

You made and created in me, a desire to hear Gods word joyfully.

That many will come to admire, the Holy Spirit fire.

That sets all men free, in Gods love and mercy.

Prov. 21:14-26

Come for secretly, God will set free.
