Marcia's Poem of the Week 2.25.2022

 

Poem of the Week by Marcia  February 25, 2022

1 Peter 3:18 New Living Translation: 18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.

 

SAFELY HOME,  I Peter 3:18

 

The Model Church of Bible-days,

Portrays the ones that exist today,

Our church isn't named in its pages,

But it's feet still lead the way.

 

The world rejects God's Way,

Because of the world, it's not,

And believers share the Word today,

With a hope that will never stop.

 

Ages are measured by God's influence,

As He passes along His Word,

And the flow of love is continuous,

To bring you safely home to God.

For my great grandsons: Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah

 

SAFELY HOME I Peter 3:18

 

God wants you to know the goal,

Is to have His love come to be,

And how your very heart and soul,

Can shine bright for all to see.

 

Not because of what you've done,

But because of what Jesus did,

And the path that He has begun,

Now aids you in how to live.

 

For His love keeps you sin-free,

And equips you to uprightly trod.

You're made the best you can be, 

To bring you safely home to God.

  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
