Marcia's Poem of the Week 1.14.2022

 

“Visitors climb up the 400 steps to the top for a stunning 360 degree panoramic view of Copenhagen and beyond.  Church of Our Savior was built in 1696 and has been Christianshavn district’s parish for over 300 years.” (theworldisabook)

Poem of the Week by Marcia “Watchtower” Poem written in regard to Habakkuk 2:1-2 NLT. “I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guard post. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer…” Then the Lord replied: write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so the herald may run with it.”

Watchtower Habakkuk 2:1-2 NLT

We will climb up to the Watchtower and stand,
And patiently guard and claim what we believe,
And when Christ returns to the land,
There our redemption will be conceived.
 
Invite the lost to come to the Watchtower,
Let people know that the Holy Spirit is here,
Invite them to appeal to Him in holy prayer,
Receive His salvation and welcome His care.
 
In the Watchtower you'll receive Christ's grace,
And soon you'll come to enjoy His style,
And you'll feel holiness in this quiet place,
As you sit at His feet and worship Him awhile,
 
For the world is full of sin and stress,
But joy is found in being still and trusting,
Come, clean your mind of sinfulness,
And take some time for resting.
 
Come write down Christ's revelation,
And run to deliver it to all the world,
Delight in Christ's glory and inspiration,
In order to spread the power of His Word.

Poem For My Great Grandsons
WATCHTOWER
 
Christ's Watchtower,
Has His love and truth,
Where we are made aware,
Of His watchful care,
Over all of the earth.
 
His hands are many and different,
They labor night and day,
And in time we'll understand,
The purpose of His plan,
And the wonder of His way.
 
His listening ears hear us,
The praise and the cry,
And to every living thing,
Abundantly He'll bring,
His peaceful mercy nigh.
 
His eyes watch and search,
Continuously focused on life,
Patiently He calls to thee,
For He eventually,
Will end struggle and strife.
 
His hands, eyes and ears,
Are eagerly unfurled,
All-powerful they be,
Available to you and me,
Everywhere in the world.

  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 blood, Where fear and worry

  Marcia's Poem of the Week Reflecting on Genesis 45:4, 5, & 9-11 “GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU” Forgiveness is really difficult. But holding an unforgiving spirit can make one sick. This story was one of the best stories for me to understand that God shows us how forgiveness works. Joseph could have been angry with his brothers and with God. And who could blame him. How many times have you been angry with God or someone else? Joseph was able to see that God's work took time. You can be sure that when you are hurting God is working to make things right. Talk to God, be patient, wait and watch Him work. God will take care of you.  In Genesis 45 we can read how God took care of Joseph and his family. Genesis 45: 4 “Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. 5. But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here a
