2Chron. 32-34

Though faithfully l tried my best, the enemies of God still did detest.

Treating alI l built with distain, and my God they did profane.

Lord I beg you rescue me, from him who has so powerfully.

Destroyed so many others, some even of my near brothers.

Because the Lord l did please, he destroyed all them with a disease.

They returned home in disgrace , their own judgment to face.

Then as I did confess, the Lord got me out of the mess

All the surrounding people saw, that as I followed Gods law.

Victory in all things I could claim, but then, so proud I became.

A new era then began, led by such an evil man.

Who destroyed all that had been done before. The God of heaven he chose to ignore.

Then went into captivity, confessed so God made him free.

To obey Gods law, like his fathers before.

Then evil again took place, that was a real disgrace.

The Lord he denied , right up on until he died.

A young leader then arose, who straight away chose.

To serve the Lord, and live in accord.

To what Gods word said, encouraging the people he led.

The Lords promise he heard, destruction won’t his life disturb.

Mark 7:14-23

Not what goes in all the while, that in the end will defile.

But what in response comes out, that in the end leaves no doubt.

Of the evilness of the soul, and destroys the whole.

Christ can sanctify the heart, and from worlds sins set you apart.

No longer need to avoid, for sin is totally devoid.

Ps. 119:105-112

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet, a light for the path l keep.

I will try once again, though l have been through so much pain.

As I follow what your word says, Lord my hearts full of praise.

For the wicket have set traps deliberately, but your word promises to set me free. I am determined to keep your every decree.

Prov 21;28-31

The false and wicket will try to bluff, but the Lord is always just enough. So you remain free, he says learn to trust me.
