Nehemiah 1-4

When l hear my brothers are in distress, I cry to the Lord and confess.

Those walls that were renown , have come tumbling down.

My fault, my fault, my so grievous a fault, Please Lord into my wounds it poors salt.

The King I serve asks what’s happening , What is it that is so saddening.

I fearfully then plead, can you help me in my need.

He then turns and says you are free, much to the disgust of my enemy.

To rebuild the temple of the Lord, that its former glory can be restored.

When I finally I get there, the people of the Lord are totally unaware.

As I look and survey , the state of of gates on the walls of today.

Then they understand that under the Lords care, they each have their own gate to repair.

Despite the scoffs of all those, who our heart felt mission totally oppose.

When they ask the question , l say I follow my Gods direction.

We are determined to build our wall, that long ago in disgrace did fall.

While building we had to defend, from beginning to the very end.

The city of our God we still work on so in diligently, despite the threat of the enemy.

Mark 11:27-33

When they question by whose authority, do you pass judgment on what you see. Ask do you believe the body of Christ alone sets the world free.

They then scratch their head. For they want to please their world instead.

Say they are not really sure. Revealing their motive is not pure.

So why should I answer them, they have a quite different problem.

Ps. 27

For Gods answer is so complete, the light of the world always at my feet.

Protect me from all danger, from friends or total stranger.

Though seem totally surrounded, their opposition was confounded.

By the will of the Lord , who they seem to have ignored.

For I will not him deny , as l held my head up high.

For l will never lack, for the Lord has my back.

Teach me Lord so it is evident, that in you alone l am confident.

Prov. 23:16-18

Everything in me will one day celebrate. For I know the Lord alone controls my fate.
