2Chron. 22-24. troubles

The leader the church appointed, faith in God became disjointed.

Following the evil advice, got Gods people into real strife.

Revolting those who saw, for they wanted a return to Gods law.

But then a queen arose, determined that she would oppose.

So tried to extinguish and kill, all that followed Gods will.

But one that God had selected, by the priest was protected.

To finally rise up and restore, faith in God like before.

But sadly came the day, when he too turned away.

Killed all of those, who this wickedness did oppose.

To turn to false gods, that was totally at odds.

With the perfect law of the Lord. that he now disdained and ignored.

Mark. 6:30-44

Jesus sees we need some rest, to operate at our best.

Takes us far away , so we can be still for a day.

Then crowd in need saw, and were there just like before.

Away from any people or town, where sustenance could be found.

But Jesus supplied all we did need, Some left over after everyone had had a good feed.

Ps. 119:81-88

I am worn out waiting for Gods rescue. , yet I try to do everything he asks me too.

How long must l wait, for God to seal my fate.

Destroy all those, who Gods will oppose.

Have mercy on me, deliver from the troubles I flee.

In your unfailing love, give me peace, from my Father above.

Prov. 21:17-29

Those who love pleasure ignore, advice to be still, so God can restore.
