2Thess. 1-3

Here we again see.

The need for faithfulness in me.

For the day will come.

When the lawless one.

Will rule amongst men

To demand of them

To obey his ways.

Ignoring what the Lord says.

But be absolutely assured

Those who have endured.

Will see Christs return.

For rebellious to learn

His power and might.

Will win the fight.

Lk. 9:46-56

As we so often ask.

Who is best for Gods task.

He loves his child.

Gentle meek and mild.

Whoever does display.

Gods power today.

And just to leave alone

Those who oppose and moan.

About the direction you take.

For your destiny’s sake

Ps. 145:14-21

The Lord lifts those who fall.

In life’s work seem to stall.

But when there eyes are on You.

Lord you bless all they do.

You are righteous in all your ways.

I will praise you all of my days.

Prov 4:23-24

Above all else guard your heart.

Not just trying to be smart

1Thess 1-5

I have followed Jesus.

Have seen all he does.

Given my all.

That others may not fall

Now l am away.

Watching you join the fray.

Just remember all Jesus said.

Don’t follow world instead.

Be pure holly and upright

In your saviours sight.

For one day he will come

To take everyone.

It will be a surprise

For those who Gods word despise

But there will be no doubt.

He will arrive with a shout

So right now live lives full of love

As you think of the things above.

Lk. 9:37-45.

Came down from mountain height

Was confronted with a sight.

That revealed my lack of belief.

When could not heal their grief.

Then Jesus saw and did heal.

So now victory felt so real.

But then he turned and us told.

You will feel left out in the cold.

Ps. 145:1-13

Jonah. 1-4

When I hear what God does say

Yet l then try to run away

I will be caught in this great storm.

Desperate and all forlorn.

Then will be thrown out.

Because there is no doubt.

That my God was angry.

Disappointed in just me

But l promised to behave.

If only he would save.

From whale in the sea.

And now walk obediently.

Then saw those who I supposed.

That God should have apposed

Be released from sins curse.

Just made me feel much worse.

So l then just wanted to die.

But God came and said why?

When see so many hurt men.

Should l not bless them.

Lk. 9:28-36

Climb mountain with Jesus to pray.

To hear what God has to say.

Amazing it is what l see.

What was revealed to me.

It is too hard a tale to sell.

Only later will be able to tell

Ps. 141

Lord l am calling to you.

As l desire my faith to renew.

Listen to my prayer.

You know how much l care.

Even if it be hard.

And l am dealt a wrong card.

Let my faith not be hollow

As l determine you to follow.

Even though others may scorn.

May my hopes be reborn.

The purpose of Gods will.

Luke. 9:18-27

Nums. 32-33. (my journey)

To cross Jordon to help those.

Who finally destroy all that oppose.

Is why l first set out.

What my life has been about.

As l left the land of Egypt.

Victorious no longer defeated.

Crossed the Red Sea.

Set out determinedly

Over the desert land.

With believers hand in hand.

Many fell away.

But here we are today.

For Jesus to lead us in

Finally to see heaven.

Lk. 9:1-17

Jesus initially sent us out.

So there was never a doubt

Caused quite a fuss.

It was seen he was with us.

Then we were in a desert.

We could see we could be hurt.

But Jesus said do not worry.

This is not the time to hurry.

Just sit and l will feed.

And meet your every need.

That scripture will allow.

Because it’s good for you

Then when kill the enemy.

Making you do as the Lord say

Then bring all before the Lord.

For his purity cannot be ignored.

Thankful that he did give

Protection that we might live.

That some would want to stay.

And that would be okay.

If support the others too.

To have promised land like you.

Lk. 8:40-56

All a place to live.

Who can lead these people on.

From all those blessings

The Lord has given you.

As you look for something new.

Lk. 8:26-39. (healed)

Jesus said now go to town.

So what’s done becomes renown.

Nums. 25-26

Here we see again

How rebellion causes pain.

Brings death to Gods community.

As think can sin with impunity.

Is to God an insult

And the end result.

To purify and to cleanse.

Need to stop what offends.

Then it is only then.

You can count on those men.

Who will go up in unity.

As God insists on purity

Lk. 8:16-25

God will bring to light.

What is done in the darkest night.

So listen to Gods word.

And obey what you have heard.

Even if come and suppose.

You are to Jesus real close.

If you don’t obey.

You are really far away.

For a storm will come along.

Reveal your faith not strong.

Though then astounded to see.

He can save the likes of me.

Nums. 22-24

When those who oppose.

Want a curse put on those.

Who looked too strong.

They will be proven wrong.

For God blesses chosen men.

Instead of cursing them.

For he let it be known.

They were not all alone.

Much to the disgust

Of those who realise they must

Defeat them in a fight.

Despite realising Gods might

To protect and to make.

Them victorious for Gods sake

Who can give victory anew.
