June 25

Jere. 25-27

Seems so obvious to me.

From all that l do see.

I feel all will be destroyed.

God must be so annoyed.

With church and the state.

What will be their fate?

What they fear the most.

Is written on the signpost.

A destiny they deny.

Though l do know why.

Yet they will still refuse.

In unbelief they abuse.

Mth. 2-3

It has all been told of before.

When nations ignore Gods law.

Innocents babes are killed.

Wickedness results fulfilled.

But Gods word will escape.

That sort of fate.

To come back again.

Avoiding all past pain.

To where we least expect.

Gods purpose we detect.

As the cry does go out.

Turn you life right about.

Turn now you must repent.

For Gods only son is sent

Ps. 64

When l look all around.

What hope can be found.

Lord even though I fear.

I have heard you are near.

So I can rejoice.

At hearing your voice.

Prov. 14:25-28

Truth in the end wins

World dies in its sins.

Jere. 22-24

Judgment will come to all.

Disaster that will appall.

Nothing to appease us.

Even the followers of Jesus.

If we do not at our very core.

Look after those who are poor.

For if instead you are mean.

Your prosperity will be lean.

The Lord will not be with you.

In all the things you do.

Even when feel secure.

Won’t be able to endure.

The enemy you face.

Carts you off in disgrace.

Then when all seems lost.

Hopeless and beyond cost.

A righteous one does come.

Through him victory is won.

But even then

Wicked men.

With stubbeness within.

Will turn away from him.

While those sent into exile.

God will bless in a while.

To bring them back again.

Cleaned of all sin and stain.

With a heart and mind to know.

His word a refreshing flow.

While now the Lord will banish

Deceitful men they will vanish.

Math. 2:1-15

Once again can be seen.

Righteous and the mean.

One, God does inspire.

The other, will just conspire.

But the Lord will rescue me.

Telling me now to flee.

To a far off foreign land.

While he holds my hand.

Until there is no doubt.

Your time has come about

Ps. 59:9-17

Now I know you are my strength.

You will go to any length.

To protect and give victory.

Over my old enemy.

I am just straw and stubble.

You rescue me from all trouble.

Prov. 14:23-24

Work of wise is their crown.

Folly of fools brings them down.

Jere. 18-21

As the potter makes a pot.

The Lord decides our lot.

To build or to destroy.

Depends on whether annoy.

To rise or to fall.

His alone to call.

World carry’s right on.

An allusion they depend upon.

Refuse to make Lord master.

Or to see the coming disaster.

Mth. 1

God always had a plan.

For salvation of man.

Down through the ages.

He turned histories pages.

Until the time was just right.

A baby was in sight.

For Joseph it was quite scary.

To marry pregnant Mary.

Ps. 59:1-8

Lord don’t you see.

Everything seems against me.

I feel so alone.

Old aching muscles moan.

Yet know you’re always here.

I’m under your loving care.

Prov. 14:21-22

Blessed those who stood.

Not with evil but with good.

Sunday 22nd

Envy

Ex. 20:17. Ps. 10 James 4:1-3

When hope does expire.

Shows my hearts desire.

Is focused on the wrong things.

So trouble it brings.

When so full of envy

So that all I do see.

When others do well.

All l want is to tell.

There behaviour mischievous.

They don’t deserve this.

For l am so inclined.

Of good things to be blind

Makes us real sad.

When our motives are bad.

June 20

Jere. 10-13

Everybody lives in fear.

They all think disaster near.

Get their highs in sport from.

Favourites supported all along

Honouring the very rich.

Hoping to satisfy that itch.

To forget what life’s about.

True faith now, full of doubt.

There then comes a day.

When the Lord seems far away.

Forgotten all he has done.

In history, victories won.

Though constantly we rebel.

Jesus came, so he could tell.

Look to me and l will bless.

Come now, just you say yes

Though men do plot against me.

Even from my family tree.

For world has lost all hope.

Rich and famous cannot cope.

The church that was well used.

Ignored now, or even abused.

What we had always understood.

Wasted away, considered no good.

Because the world so unclean.

One day disaster will be seen.

No longer feeling so bold.

Happened just as has been told.

Mark 16:33-47

Darkness and destruction.

Cry to Lord for instruction.

The whole world seemed to me.

Totally lost essentially.

For Jesus Gods only son.

No longer appears to have won.

As he died there on the cross.

And we all saw our great loss.

Saddened we can only mope.

But somehow still had hope.

Past buried there in a tomb.

What future now does loom?

Ps. 17

Lord l come to you and plead.

Help me in my great need.

You have seen and do know.

I have taken such a blow.

Right from the very start.

You have examined my heart.

So help me to come clean.

Now on you, alone to lean.

Prov. 14:13-16

Even in laughter, heart will ache.

Look to Lord, for goodness sake.

June 19

Jere. 7-9

False religion shows just the start.

0f deceitfulness of the heart.

Words that will deceive.

Yet you seem to believe.

Lead down a slippery track.

So hard to then turn back.

To walk again with Jesus.

Again in total consensus.

That we might now fulfil.

His good and perfect will.

Instead you’re in a mess.

When God would love to bless.

Come and let’s be wise.

You should recognise.

The foolish things you do.

That land you in a stew.

Uncircumcised of heart.

Life is falling apart.

Mark. 15:21-32

You have to wonder why.

Men would now deny.

The Lord of everything.

Our saviour and our king.

That they would crucify.

As they scorn and lie.

It is shown right then.

The wickedness of men.

Ps. 8

Lord but now we see.

Your power and majesty.

Far above all else.

Made the mountain and the mouse.

I really struggle to see.

Could you think of even me.

Lord how majestic is your name.

We see your power and your fame.

Prov. 14:9-12

He comes to unlock.

Fools look and mock.

June 17

Jeremiah 1-3

When God does call.

I feel just so small.

That others will dismiss.

Gods warning will miss.

Words that proclaim.

Utter disdain.

For their christian walk.

And all of their talk.

In dreams l do see.

Just how wickedly.

They follow what’s wrong.

Till God comes along.

Despite how we behave.

To once again save.

But still they rebel.

Despite what I do tell.

Until God destroys all.

His power his call.

A new kingdom to bring.

A totally new thing.

Where all men will say.

What an amazing day.

Mark 14:66-72

Right down below here.

We are suddenly aware.

Of weakness when we face.

Opposition in this space.

Just how could now I.

So vehemently deny.

My master and king.

For he’s everything.

Ps. 144

Lord come help me cope.

You are my only hope.

Take away all fear.

Show that you do care.

Then I will see.

My enemies flee.

Prov. 14:1-4

All people should know.

You reap what you sow.

June 16

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.
