 “A CHILD OF THE KING” 1 Samuel 8:10-18

Samuel 8:10-18 "10 Samuel told all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, "This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the LORD will not answer you in that day."

 

“A CHILD OF THE KING” 1 Samuel 8:10-18

 

Know the Lord God is your King,

And it is His plan to provide,

Within the impoverished worldly stream,

He offers to keep you by His side.

 

With unlimited access to His pocket,

And a deep and endless reservoir,

The necessary supply and product,

Will make you wealthy forevermore.

 

Because your Father is a King,

You're free to act without restraint,

And you have access to most everything,

To assist in His work without constraint.

 

We are a precious child of a King,

Wrapped against the Father's breast.

Moved by the Holy Spirit's tutoring,

With Love and power granted us.

  Poem of the Week by Marcia 9/24/2021   “ONE WHO SERVES” Reflection on 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, do not consider his appearance or his height for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at things people look at; people look at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart.” And on , Luke 22:27 “For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.”   “ ONE WHO SERVES”   Each En-Gedi God creates, Where a servant is assigned, Is to exemplify integrity, And bring unity to mankind.   To pray for those that serve, Is a joy and privilege, For the nature of a call, Is to love and encourage.   For together we are stronger, And together we are one, For God loves His people, And leads us through His Son.   Where we learn His holy word, And receive His Spirit's peace, We are sealed by His ...

  Marcia’s Poem of the Week 12.10.2021   LIVE IN PEACE Scripture: Romans 12:18; Key Verse: "Do all that you can to Live in peace with everyone."     LIVE IN PEACE Lord, help us live in peace today, And hold on to what is good, And help us share Your loving way, And show affection as we should. Help us serve you with energy, In trouble, remind us to pray, Help us faithfully share hospitality, And take care in the words we say. Lord, should one desire to harm us, Help us ask a blessing over them, For it is true You're teaching us, But You are also teaching them. Let us keep hearing Your voice, So as to weep with those who mourn, And be joyful with those who rejoice, And able to keep from doing wrong. Lord, out of our plenty help us share, And respond with virtue in every way, Since the shadow of evil is everywhere, Light our path with peace each day. Amen.   Marcia Riehle 2021
