1Sam. 1-3

When I’m desperate, feel from God seperate.

While those around, have blessing found.

Lord I cry to you, I will give all in what I do.

In my misery , God says he will bless me.

Go home and be still, See the Lord in who you hope then fulfil.

A brand new start, with what you had in your heart.

Samuel in Gods temple raised. Hears what the Lord says.

Terrible trouble for those, who Gods purpose do oppose.

Mth 21:33-46

Jesus tells this story, of men who have known his glory.

Have then refused to live, God honour to give.

Everything they had , turned out real bad.

Then he raised up, those who drank from his cup.

When they praise and sing, the Lord will bring a new thing.

All that went before, we now completely ignore.

Ps. 8

l should never fret. For I will know even yet.

Though I feel so small and low. It is the God of heaven and earth I know.

A amazing as it may seem. For I know and have seen.

He is in control of all, to my knees I fall.

Prov. 16:8-11

Better to put the Lord first. Than to be rich and dishonest.

Song of Songs 5-8

What is this, Talk of such bliss.

Where two admire. Their hearts set on fire.

So wonderful to see. If only it could be me.

What God had proposed, the devil again had opposed.

Just a wishful dream. My life never like that it would seem.

Mth 21:18-32

Jesus saw a fig tree, it was just like me.

Green but for some reason, seemed always out of season.

Jesus looked and then said, soon you will look dead.

So withered and dried, No fruit to provide.

Seemed unbelievably , undeniably , powerfully, to me.

My faith cannot follow , Jesus says because it is so hollow.

Just say mountain be moved, then your faith will be proved.

Then men come and ask ,set you a hard task.

You will then question them, to prove they are unfruitful men.

Ask who is the favoured one. The agreeable or the obedient son.

For those who they now despise, will end up winning the prize.

Ps. 144 :9-15

I will sing a new song, To God who does no wrong.

Gives victory to kings, rescues from all things.

No longer in life distressed. Those who believe will be blessed.

Prov. 16:4-7

The Lord works out everything in the end, the righteous he will always defend.

Mth 5:6

God blesses those, who especially oppose.

The world’s ways. In these evil days.

Ps 63:1:5

Lord I seek you, in everything I do.

It is all I want in life. Even in the middle of strife.

I have experienced who you are. You are the most important by far.

You are my joy and satisfaction, far more than any worldly distraction.

Roms. 3:21-23

There is only one way, To see the light of day.

Not because of what I might do. Or any other thing I thought I knew .

It is only because of faith in him. Who I believe in.

It is so wonderful to know love. Love that is so far above.

Anything else you desire. What you constantly seek and enquire.

Where is that love that fulfils me. I wander my world hoping to see.

Would be so beautiful in every way. To be with my love everyday.

Mth 21:1-17

As we came near, we must do what we hear.

Find a donkey for the Lord to ride. For me to honour as walk beside.

Hosanna to his name, we worship his fame.

But then he caused a fuss. As he came in and cleansed us.

Healed so blind could see. It happened right then amazingly.

Indignation filled our heart. We no longer felt a part.

Of this new move of God. To us it seemed so odd.

To see children praise him. Who they now believed in.

Jesus then moved on, leaving us to ponder upon.

Ps. 144

Praise the Lord my rock. when I take stock.

He is everything I need. From defeat he has freed.

You have to wonder why. Or is it just pie in the sky?

That the God of heaven above, would stoop to even me love?

Lord come and protect. So my life can survive, sins effect.

Prov 16:1-3

God has plans for you, commit to him all you do.

Eze. 46-48

God a structure did build, it will be filled.

With people who worship him. The priest who will lead in.

The gateway to his presence. The very essence.

Of what worship is all about, where there will be no doubt.

As see the river start to flow, out into the world we go.

Until it becomes deep. See fruitful trees that keep.

All of those , who God chose.

In plentiful supplies. Even where desert lies.

Boundaries will be set. Where Gods will will be met.

With gates back into the temple, where worshippers assemble.

Mth. 20:29-34

Lord we are so blind , help us to see so we can find.

Our path to you, so we can follow too.

Ps. 139:13-24

The Lord has made me so complex. So everything now effects.

The way I relate to him, and the world I live in.

Now I surely know, you are with me wherever I go.

And l despise ,the things not good, in the Lords eyes.

Search me Lord know that I might still , know your perfect will.

Prov. 15:31-33

If you listen, to his wisdom, you will fulfil your mission.

Eze. 43-45

Gods perfect provision. His glorious solution.

For those who lost their way , have gone completely astray.

The Temple is where his glory, contrasts with our own story.

But even then, we may enter in.

Through a special sacrifice, that will forever suffice.

To cleanse from our sin. For God to dwell within.

His glorious presence. takes away all our offence.

That caritised our life. That led to so much strife.

For an uncircumcised heart, will never take part.

But those who do come in, will show honour to him.

Then when they go out, there will never be any doubt.

As take up their piece of land, and make a righteous stand.

Forever continuing, Gods sacrifice remembering

Mth. 20:17-28

Jesus leaves no doubt , what sacrifice is all about.

Yet even then, we want to be proud leaders of men.

He says listen to what I say, your suffering will display.

That you are Gods servant too, in everything you do.

Ps. 139:7-12

I can never get away from Gods presence, for he is the very essence.

Of everything I am, revealed as a sacrificial lamb.

Now not in the darkness of night, but in Gods glorious light.

Even when I feel down, my smile replaces the frown.

For you are here still, I know I am in your will.

Prov. 15:28-30

Careful what you say, it can change night into day.

Eze 40-42

If you wonder what life is all about, God reveals so there is no doubt.

He has this intricate plan. Gods temple he’s created in each man.

As we dream we come to see. God is building a perfect place for you and me.

So perfect is the special design. Built so man can meet with God divine.

To worship him in a special way. Where Gods glory is on display.

Mth. 20:1-16

Each of us are hired to work. Don’t worry if some seem to shirk.

Not worked the full day, Jesus says it is his riches to give away.

For he will show his special care. To whoever happens to be right there.

Ps. 139:1-6

Lord there is nothing you don’t know. You were there at the beginning and where I will go.

It is just too marvellous to see Everything you know all about me.

More than my mind can understand. My heart can ever withstand.

Prov. 15:25-27

The Lord tears down builds again. Delivers us from sins awful stain.

Eze. 37-40:9

When I see the valley full of dry bone, where all hope in Christ is gone.

Though appeared nothing I could do. The Lord said it’s really up to you.

Speak life into those old bones. No longer full of moans.

They suddenly come alive. never thought they would survive.

A great army joined together, they are victorious forever.

Though there will be a battle to be won, against the enemies of Gods Son.

But in the end victory will glorify his name, as God takes away all of my shame.

A new temple we will see, where God can now meet with me.

Mth 19;15-30

How impossible it is for those who are rich, to throw it all into the ditch.

But it is the Lord alone , who can put faith on an old dry bone.

Then to turn and follow him, to have faith totally within.

Even us who focus on him, will one day see it as a win.

Ps. 73:17-28

I can look with scorn, on those who I think are not re- born.

But even I, deserve to die.

But God came to save, despite how I behave.

My strength is in you. I see all the wonderfull things you do.

Prov. 15:22-24

Listen to good advise, from the learned and the wise.

Eze 34-36

We live in a land, where the rulers demand.

They have the authority, to keep in captivity.

To their corporate needs, through evil deeds.

Disaster it has brought, although good people had sought.

To do what was right, in the Lords sight.

But God will over rule, Those who think they are now cool.

Because they defame, his holy name.

Then restore as before. Giving even more.

For those who were oppressed. Will now be much blessed.

To reveal Gods goodness. Even in our weakness

Mth. 19:1-14

Here again we see, how law can be used oppressively.

No care and no thought, for the innocent who are caught.

In their desire to win , the argument they are in.

That they don’t even see, children who are needy.

That the the Lord would bless too. Just as he has you.

Ps. 73:1-16

Sometimes I feel like giving it all away. I have tried to be good every day.

Yet l see those who have not. There is nothing they have not got.

While I struggle always in strife. They seem to have this amazing life.

I try to understand all this, but such a difficult task it is.

Prov. 15:18-21

It is your attitude today. , that will reveal the Lords way.

Mth 5:5. Ps. 37. Zephaniah. 2:3

God blesses those who are humble, they recognise they forever stumble.

Do not watch with envy, those better you may see.

They will fade away, when they have had their day.

Trust in the Lord and do good, in your local neighbourhood.

Then delight in what the Lord does, as we see him bless us.

In the presence of the Lord just be still, as see his purpose in you fulfil.

Don’t fret or worry. Feeling for yourself sorry.

At your lack of success , angry because seem to make no progress.

Just be the peaceful one, the envy of everyone.

Seek the Lord in your humility, Gods blessings notice continually

For you are Gods elect , he will always protect.
