Marcia's Poem of the Week 2.11.2022

 

Poem of the week by Marcia 2/11/2022

PRAY FOR THE CHURCH 

Colossians 1: 9-10.  9) So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We asked God to give you complete knowledge of His will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10) then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.

At age four, I rode my tricycle in front of our apartment. A woman from the Salvation Army invited me to Sunday School. She taught Bible stories and the part that stuck with me was God being my heavenly Father. When I came to realize that I had a heavenly Father that cared, I also learned that I could talk to Him through prayer. As well, the Church became my family. The church is your family too. The family of God needs your time, presence and prayer. And I believe you need His time, presence and care.


PRAY FOR THE CHURCH  Colossians 1: 9-10

Pray for the believers of God's Word,
And for the church to be faithful,
Pray for fellowship with the Lord,
Come, worship at His table.
 
Come hungry for a taste of revival,
Be prepared to sing and pray,
Come hear the Words from the bible,
For the Word is alive today.
 
Come worship and fellowship together,
And show love and kindness here,
Come learn to help one another,
And share time together in prayer.
 
We're a long-way from being perfect,
But God's love covers us all,
And His grace makes us united,
Enabling us to hear His call.
 
Welcome, for you are all invited,
The Word is yours to be heard,
There's every reason to be excited,
Come, hear God's Life-giving Word.

Poem for my great grandsons: Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah.
 
GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS 
 
God's instructions are the kind,
That's like a parent filled with love,
He has the very best in mind,
To keep you within His reach thereof.
 
He wants only what's good for you,
And for you to know His intention,
He wants you to follow through,
And learn to obey Him without question.
 
For you are so much like Him,
You're good and pure to the bone,
So, continue to pray and praise Him,
And thank Him for what He's done.

  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
