Poem: Called to Worship (XIII)

Now sing unto The Lord, a new song;
offer up your voice on this glad day.
Give heartfelt thanksgiving often,
with the joyful sounds of praise.

Our genuine appreciation of Him,
should be reflective of open hearts!
Cling to His Presence and not flesh;
don’t allow His Spirit to sadly depart.

Take time to quietly commune with our Lord;
recognize His essence permeates the universe,
seeing that He is the ruler of all creation.
By divine inspiration, compose songs and verse.

On this day, honor Christ Jesus’ kingship -
be faithful, know you’re… Called to worship!

Poem: Quiet Life

With nothing to prove
and no one to impress,
it was my Godly mindset
that lowered my stress.

With an identity in Him,
I found absolute Love,
with His grace and mercies
flowing from Heaven above.

From minding my work
and my own business,
it became much easier
to joyfully confess…

that Biblical principles
were successful for Christ;
so my truest ambition
is to lead a quiet life.

Poem: Still Forgiven

O My Lord, there is no one vaguely like Thee,
Who has the ability to forgive me of my iniquity.

Failure to accept Your grace is a sin of pride,
since Your presence within me, can divinely reside.

Forgiveness is a powerful weapon for my wounded soul,
when I recognize that only You can truly make me whole.

Help me Lord, to rightly walk in love without hypocrisy;
help me observe the Christ - in everyone I meet and see.

Don’t allow poor, quarrelsome behaviors to rise up in me,
for ungodly uproars may create opposition to God’s decrees.

Remind me to be kind, gentle and tender-hearted to those,
who still suffer under the weight of sin’s deathly throes.

In the remainder of my days, I will continually confess,
that I’ve been cleansed of all traces of unrighteousness.

Despite my human imperfections, my spirit won’t be riven,
knowing that I am greatly blessed and… still forgiven!

Poem: The Ideal Servant

The habits of the righteous servant reflect
a certain posture of pleasing The Master.
Walking in Love is evident, when we recognize
what the heart of Christ is truly after.

Bearing fruit, living lives in desperate times,
becomes much easier when we share our burdens.
Let’s practice living harmoniously each day,
before joining together in Heaven’s garden.

Real Love, always requires acts of action;
Even Christ washed the feet of the Apostles
to demonstrate that all forms of compassion
can vary from the smallest act to miracles.

Societal importance is an artificial construct,
that demonstrates a poor example of attitude.
Christ’s example has been set eternally before us,
shining before Man with the mindset of servitude.

Poem: Accepted by Him

Despite my human behavior and my many flaws,
I’m thankful that I won’t be judged under His law.

My spirit can’t be overloaded or overwhelmed,
knowing I’m blessed… under the heavenly realms.

After embracing Christ’s holy, blood redemption,
God’s promises and plans for me, were set in motion.

When I believed, I was graced with the presence
of the Spirit and opened up to The Word’s eloquence.

As my hurting heart to Him was sincerely turned,
it became easier to study Scriptures and learn…

that once adopted into Christ’s eternal family,
my spiritual purposes would be revealed clearly.

Now the depths of my faith that can be plumbed,
secure of my guaranteed inheritance in His Kingdom.

My joy overflows this mundane life and its mortal brim
from recognizing that I have been… Accepted by Him!

Poem: Emotionally Stable

My soul prospers, regardless of my financial state;
my blessings come from God; upon Him, I willingly wait.

Constantly meditating on The Word, gives me peace,
since I recognize… that the Lord’s promises never cease.

When perceiving what issues are really important,
insures that I remain happy and thoroughly content.

El Shaddai, my God, of more than enough,
has nothing to do with me having more stuff.

Jehovah meets all of my needs abundantly,
especially when I honestly open my eyes and see…

that He continues to love me unconditionally!
And it’s my privilege, to trust Him completely.

My faith is far from a fake and fanciful whim,
seeing that my spirit is in alignment with Him.

With divine access to the “mind of Christ”,
I’m reenergized to appreciate His eternal life.

Although common events of life are not inevitable,
my approach will always remain… emotionally stable.

Poem: The God Habit

Praising the Lord, on each and every Sabbath,
is a small piece of practicing “the God Habit”.

For one of the best ways for healthy livin’,
is using the brain, that you’ve been given.

Know that thoughts always precede your actions;
idle words leak power and create distractions.

Where the mind goes, the Man always follows;
is it better to walk in the Light or in shadows?

Commune with the Spirit to avoid fleshly lusts;
demonstrate that in Him, you really do trust.

Real success and fellowship is possible in life,
when you are in a sacred relationship with Christ.

Prevent the daily repetition of earthly mistakes;
Don’t be attached to this world - pull up your stakes.

To overcome evil with good choices and decisions,
you must lift up your spiritual eyes and envision…

how you are loved, with regards to His crucifixion!
Embrace this Truth and His supernatural convictions.

With our blessed Lord, one must spend quality time,
to insure the eternal hope of… walking the Godly line.

Poem: All Scripture Is…

The indelible precision of God’s holy Word
has been fine tuned for the Human soul;
genuine application of its divine secrets
will assist us to become spiritually whole.

For the Scriptures are meant to be profitable,
and were originally encased by Jehovah’s breath.
The sacred aspirations for Man’s eternal life
are contained in principles for overcoming death.

Agnostic skeptics of circular Biblical arguments,
intentionally chose to ignore The Word’s confirmations;
meanwhile, we know that the text is open to reproof,
as we study precepts for seeking our divine connection.

For it’s only in God, that one can find completeness,
seeing that we strive to live in brotherly accord;
be trained and equipped with His divine influence
since all Scripture is… God’s inspirational word.

Poem: Heart of Flesh

O Lord, I continue to ache for Your heart of flesh!
Lovingly chastise me, with regard to improper attitudes;
my spirit will never freely soar in unity with You,
without understanding and a transcendental altitude.

Chasing earthly mirages is a waste of my precious time
and it will never satisfy or quench my unending thirst.
Living a dedicated life of self-gratification and pleasure,
won’t overcome this pain… that’s been repeatedly rehearsed.

Deep within my soul, I embrace Your genuine Love for me.
As a result, unwanted, dead things are compelled to fall away.
Concepts of selfishness, jealousy, discontentment, self-pity,
greed, addiction, and unforgiveness will no longer rule my days.

Lord, teach me to “take up my cross” daily without complaint;
Break the stony hardheartedness that hinders our relationship!
For I crave, the joy and contentment I previously possessed,
which softly undergirds our ongoing and eternal fellowship.

With Your Word hidden in my heart, I walk the “narrow path”,
since sin’s “broad path” leads only to one’s destruction.
Acting ungodly will always be a lost battle of the soul;
therefore, I cling onto Your Salvation and Resurrection…

with a proper mindset and complete surrender to You!
Self-centeredness is unhealthy to my soul’s existence;
therefore, I’m determined to purposely seek oneness with You,
while forgoing the proverbial path… of least resistance.

Poem: Spiritual Secret (Broken Vessel)

With the inherent power of divine words,
I can wield spiritual swords of strength.
Although His presence can reside within me,
I must recognize His plan and truly see…

how I must conduct myself on a daily basis.
Moving forward with Faith in Christ Jesus,
I’m able to conquer all earthly circumstances
and rejoice in victory with my Lord of the Dance.

Overcoming fleshly struggles and fiery trials,
is but one aspect of the frail, human condition.
Utilizing my talents on behalf of the Kingdom’s focus,
I truly can fully recognize and fulfill my purpose.

The desire of God is to draw people unto Himself.
While remaining a yielded, humble and broken vessel,
the sacred essence of Christ in me adequately shines,
to reach hurting individuals… with His Light Divine.
