2Chron. 5-7

The Lords work is done, through the Father’s Son.

An amazing temple, it makes us tremble.

Before the glory of the Lord, who we worshiped and adored.

A place where he, always showed love to me.

When in trouble and strife , came into my life.

Where I was sanctified, as the world in me died.

God is good his love will last forever. His presence nothing can sever.

Praise the Lord who kept his promise. Gave from the riches that are his.

For he has made us his king, when we obey in everything.

When in trouble because of the way we live, come down from heaven Father and forgive.

When you see me, defeated by the enemy.

When see drought, all about.

Famine and disease, that makes me ill at ease.

Getting what we deserve , for a holy God we serve.

Then even strangers will see, from my troubles you set me free.

When I seem in exile , be with me all the while.

Please bring me right back, help overcome the enemies attack.

It is then l understood , the Lord is is so very very good,

Forever I will see , his presence right here with me.

Then the Lord does say, if you be humble as you pray

Turn from your wicked way, l will give you victory everyday.

My glory you will display, amazing the people of your day.

But if you turn away. my salvation I will delay.

Then people will say, his faith did fade away.

What a disaster , he forgot his Lord his master.

Mark. 5:11-20

When Jesus enters in, we are cleansed of this life of sin.

All evil in us fled, because we heard what Jesus said.

When people all around, saw salvation I had found.

Though I now was free, they told Jesus go away for we see.

The power of your presence, for us just makes no sense.

Then Jesus said but I’m to stay and show , that all that come to believe may know.

So will also live in accord, to the word of the Lord.

Ps. 119:41-48

Because you ask that of me, the Lord said all people will see.

Wisdom from above, and protection of my love.

With the glory of the Lord, that just could not be ignored.

For you gave me a amazing plan, To build with a skilled craftsman

Intricate in its design, a place the Lord said was mine.

Eternal life, freedom from strife.

He came not to judge but to help us win, To give victory in this life we live in.

August 8

When I think of all those who were strong, who have protected my treasure in God for so long.

The leaders in the Lords battle, as some looked after my crops and cattle.

To many for me to count , only the Lotd knows the true amount.

Surrounded by those who were wise, to give me such very good advice.

As l wanted so much to build, a temple where Gods glory would be filled.

But I know it could not be so. For the Lord has said no.

For where I stand , constant fighting has been in demand.

But God has given us his Son, so heaven on earth will one day come

It is he who will build a peaceful place, where all can meet God face to face.

From his riches he will give. Far more than where we now live.

The place of our Lord, where we can live in accord.

To the righteousness he gave, as l live far beyond the grave.

All these riches that are now mine, will point to my God divine.

So the next generation, in their situation, will be filled with adoration.

Mark. 4:26-41

God is the farmer I am the seed, it’s a mystery how I can grow to lead.

That many would gather together, to glorify God forever.

Yet now l have to face this storm , feeling forsaken though in Christ reborn.

I cry to the Lord please awake, he says for goodness sake.

Don’t you realise too , God is always with you.

So as he makes still the wind and waves, so I will be still and believe what his word says.

I had to admit surprise, for he is so much more than I realise.

We are given the nod , as children of God

To carry out the duty to us assigned, important to complete the work God designed.

To come and worship before him. To glorify who our faith is in.

Each with a holy assignment, that alone for each of us was meant.

To fill a specific role. As a part of the whole.

Mark. 4:13-25

If you can’t understand simple things, how when Jesus great truth brings.

For his word will fall, where unbelief will stall.

Where it does not suit , shrivels with no deep root.

Where soil full of thorn, faith overcome and forlorn.

But rich the harvest , where soil is the best.

Like a lamp turns night to day, reveals the Lords true way.

So pay close attention to the word you are given, then the Lord will reveal even more in this life you live in.

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.

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

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

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.

We then worship him when we see , How he has given us victory.

Though just a servant in what l do, amazing things come into view.

Victory I see at this time, through him alone the saviour of mine.

So wanting heaven to be right here, so our God can be always near.

But he says no now is not the time, you have more battles to win that are mine.

I will give you victory over every enemy, the whole world will come to see.

Heaven will be here on earth, when righteousness gives birth.

Through my Son Jesus Christ, who brings blessing to new heights.

But for now you have those, who support when facing the enemy who oppose.

Mark. 3:20-35

When Jesus becomes too famous , it worries even family close to us.

And those who sneer, a lunatic fool is here.

But some will come to see, it is the Lord that is with me.

For one thing cannot be forgiven, is deny Christ to live within.

Refusing to obey, what you have heard him say.

Ps. 119:1-8

To defend with God given strength, to go to any length ,

For to the King we are to listen, when you are on a mission.

For you have agreed, to follow his lead.

Always you will be victorious , as he constantly restores us.

To our rightful place, a God given special space.

Then we all could not ignore, how we had worshiped God once before.

How when stumbled and hopes died, we then had decided to divide.

That we would try again, recognising what caused the pain.

We then made sure Gods space, would be treated as a holy place.

As we celebrated with unabashed joy, but for some that seemed to annoy.

Mark 3:1-19

When Jesus sees unbelief , he still brings relief,

Though the religious make their claim, their righteousness is not the same.

Jesus then chose apostles who would lead . For they were to meet all future need.

Ps. 78:65-72

But there were many who chose, individually King Saul to oppose.

Who fought the good fight , in their new king David’s sight.

Brave and with David stood, for they believed it was all for the good.

For David to lead and deploy. Brave men who would destroy.

The enemies defence, that seemed so immense.

To take the city of David, for he was now Gods favourite.

Brave men of fame, David listed them all by name.

As great warriors of might, in all of the people’s sight.

A great army who then, Showed the bravery of godly men.

All needed to bring about, so there was no longer any doubt.

Who was leader and king. in everything.

Mark. 2-23-38

When accused of doing wrong. Broken the law that shows where you belong.

Said those that accuse , who were looking for false news.

But remember the way, in King David’s day.

When he was hungry too. , and did something he knew.

Was strictly against the law. That God had forbiden before.

For the main thing for you, is to do what Jesus would do.

For he has authority to say, what is truth today.

To live in accord, to obedience of our Lord

Ps. 78 :56-64

Then came the day, how sad it was to say.

When all men turned away. From what God said was okay.

Prov. 24:17 Mth 5:43-48 Lk 6:27-36

Don’t rejoice when those you don’t like. Get into strife and fall off their bike.

Don’t just think good of your neighbourhood , compared to those strangers, you have never understood

Though they do things in a different way. Doesn’t mean God isn’t with them today.

For just as Gods loves each one of them. You are to be seen as compassionate to all men.

Even though they might curse you. Be loving in return in all you do.

Going that second mile, peacefully with a humble smile.

For you should be different in every way , to those who are arrogant in what they say.
