Hosea. 11-14

No wonder l struggle to win.

My life so full of sin.

Yet know it’s me he’s called.

Yet others are, so appalled.

At my lack of faithfulness.

Seem to have lost that blessedness.

Even then l know he says yes.

My child be still, l will you bless.

For l am now more wise.

My old ways, now despise.

Gods word says what is right.

Rebellious cannot, see the light.

Mark. 14:53-65

What wickedness do we see.

In the whole of humanity.

We all spat on him.

Overcome in rebellion.

In silence he just stood.

Evil contrasts now with good.

Refused to recognise.

In unbelief, our faith dies.

Only later do l see.

He suffered just for me.

Ps. 139:13-24

Lord you knew me from the start.

You knew l would be a part.

Of your purpose here on earth.

As I came into your new birth.

How precious my God thought.

As rescued and he brought.

Me back again to worship him.

Despite the wickedness within.

Search and know my heart.

So l can again be a part.

Hate what others do.

In defiance of precious you.

Prov. 13:25

Righteous needs are met.

Wicked deserve what get.

June 15. Sunday

Mth 28:16-20 2Cor. 13:14. John. 1:18. 15:18-26

It seems an impossible mission.

For others to catch my vision.

It should not come as a surprise

If listen to what Jesus did advise.

Though you too did have doubt.

Not now as shown what he’s about.

Others refuse to believe him

Totally rejecting resurrection.

Father, Son and Spirit now with.

You wherever you do live.

They see and do know.

Reveal truth to us below.

They are never too late.

To determine our fate.

Holy Spirit come.

So may know Gods Son.

For you alone can reveal.

What in this world is real.

June 14

Hosea 6-10

Now I must turn to him.

So torn to pieces, within.

Surely if I come again.

He will take away all pain.

Though his word cuts like a knife.

It helps me change my life.

To heal and restore.

My failures ignore.

Though slothfulness surrounds.

His love to me still abounds.

As wearily I do see.

No power within me.

All that God has given.

Useless though know forgiven.

I acknowledge you.

Doesn’t show in what I do.

Go to great lengths.

To prove my strengths.

Looks good my sacrifice.

Then ignore the words advice.

What will happen to this man.

The day of reckoning is at hand.

What can I expect.

Others naturally, reject.

For l will falter.

Before my broken altar.

But if l live in love.

Now see power from above.

For the day will surely come.

God will be seen by everyone.

Mark. 14:43-52

Seeming disaster and arrest.

Lord’s done what he knows best.

I fight with my sword.

Not dependent on my Lord.

Though such a terrible sight.

Scared l now take flight.

Accused alone my sins to bear.

I have no faith, so full of fear

Ps. 139:7-12

Where can l go.

That Spirit doesn’t know.

For he is always here.

I am under his care.

Even darkness will not hide.

When in you l abide.

Night will shine like the day.

When always do what you do say.

Prov. 13:24

Though may seem quite odd.

Love does not spare the rod.

June 13

Hosea 1-5

What l see portrayed.

Is my life I’m afraid.

For I am still.

So often unfaithful.

That he will still love you.

Inspite of all you do.

For God still calls to me.

Come and you will see.

Yet there will be others.

Who used to be your brothers.

Who refuse to obey.

Or follow me today.

One day they’ll come again.

To live under my name.

To earnestly seek me.

Because of their misery.

Mark. 14:27-42

I am just so dismayed.

Lord knows I am afraid.

That l would deny him.

When looks like l can’t win.

When his work seems so hard.

l am dealt a losing card.

Tired and so weary.

Now just so sleepy.

Yet the Lord he knows.

The coming highs and lows.

Ps. 139:1-6

There is nothing about me.

Lord you do not see.

Before even l was born.

My destiny began to form.

You took hold of my hand.

Just to hard to understand.

You were always there.

I was under your care.

Prov. 13:21-23

You receive according.

How deserve rewarding.

June. 12

2Kings. 24-25

As all men rebel.

It soon will tell.

God will then send.

An enemy to end.

Lost our Gods care

To enemy we fear.

Terrible destruction.

Ignored Gods instruction.

Until all riches gone.

Taken in captivity from.

The temple of God.

To a place we feel odd.

Mark. 14:12-26

We will then see.

Restore our memory.

How God did save.

When we were a slave.

Even then.

There will be men.

Evil at heart.

Don’t want to be apart.

Of Gods salvation.

For this our nation.

Ps. 73:17-28

As l grow in him.

My heart burns within.

As see evil displayed.

Feel totally dismayed.

And so annoyed.

Then all is destroyed.

A different story.

Come into Gods glory.

Prov. 13:20

Walk with wise.

Not fools advise

2Kings. 21-23

How wicket are we.

The Lord can see.

Disaster will befall.

On us all.

Then comes a man.

Reads where all began.

Starts a new day.

From evil turns away.

But the wickedness still there.

We again do not care.

Forget and do again.

Causing so much pain.

Making God to frown

So finally closes down.

Mark 14:1-11

Here again the contrast.

Jesus fulfilling passover at last.

Yet evil men still conspire.

Against all that we desire.

Though we may seem poor.

We honour and adore.

And do not miss.

All that Jesus is.

Ps. 73:1-16

God is good to the pure.

Helps them to endure.

Yet so often see.

Others better off than me.

I am in constant pain.

All I did seems in vain.

Are you going to lose?

Depends on what you choose?

June 10

2Kings. 18-20

Here I am the enemy surrounds.

His pride and power abounds.

He claims by God to be deployed.

All opponents has destroyed.

Fear grips us all.

Before our God we fall.

For he insults him.

Who we have depended in.

Then Gods word says.

I will end the enemies days.

And l will prove to you.

By doing what you ask me to.

Nothing to hard for me.

You are about to see.

Make the suns shadow go back.

Heal when life is under attack.

Filled with such pride.

In strangers I now confide.

Riches my God gave.

Told you will be his slave.

Mark. 13:24-37

The day will surely come.

God will show everyone.

His power and his might.

In the whole worlds sight.

Be ready nobody will know.

When God will ask you to go.

Leave this evil world.

In darkness it will be hurled.

Look at the sign of fig tree.

Reveals our future similarly.

Hear what I do say.

For my words don’t pass away.

Always should be aware.

My coming could be near.

Ps. 18:12-19

Lord you have broken our wall.

Return like I do recall.

So I can really see.

That you abide in me.

As l to you return.

From lesson l did learn.

Let your face now shine.

Give blessings that are mine.

Prov. 13:13-16

Scorn instruction trouble awarded

Respect Gods command be rewarded.

June. 8 Pentecost

Our Lord in life brings.

Give first portion to him.

For it is he who has given.

In all peoples sight.

They will think strange.

Say you are deranged.

But then they will hear.

Our amazing God does care.

For now it is pentecost.

We know what it cost.

To give promised power.

In this our last hour.

Repent and receive.

All that you believe.

May 7

2Kings. 13-15

In my world of today.

People might say.

Have I been all aboard?

The purposes of the Lord?

Or not prepared to halt.

Past sins that are now my fault.

The world has become.

A disaster for everyone.

The Lord is so annoyed.

All we built is destroyed.

Yet even then we will know.

Lords promises still will flow.

That others will now see.

His purposes in, imperfect me.

Mark. 13:1-11

World half deranged.

Nothing has changed.

Man’s temple destroyed.

Now cannot avoid.

The darkness of night.

Must stand and fight.

The Lord is still with you.

Despite what others do.

To speak the word that’s given

Christ wisdom does abide in.

Ps. 143

Lord l feel so weak.

Yet it is you l seek.

The power to proclaim.

The attacks of enemy.

Power and mercy from above.

As l speak out in love.

Prov. 13:9-10

Light of the righteous.

Found in wisdom and advise.

Lamp of the wicked.

Pride causes strife, so forget it.
