Marcia's Poem of the week "Create in me a new heart" 

Psalm 51:1-2; 10-13  5/6/2022

 

Psalm 51:1-2; 10-13 NLT 

1 Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins.

2 Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.

10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.

11 Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.

12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you.

13 Then I will teach your ways to rebels,

and they will return to you. 

    …And Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want.”

 

CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART. Psalm 51: 1-2; 10-13

 

The Lord keeps us firm in faith,

By the cleansing of our heart,

And gentle is our Lord's grace,

Where we shall never want.

 

Our mind is a prayerful place,

Where His perfect peace begins.

Where He lets us see His holy face,

As our Savior and our Friend.

 

Our soul is His celestial space,

That He created airy and bright,

Where His Paternal embrace,

Brings us His love and light.

 

The Lord inhabits our praise,

And makes our heart clean,

He is with us all our days,

And by His love we're redeemed.

Poem of the week for my great grandsons: Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah

 

CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART

Psalm 51:1-2; 10-13 NLT

 

Everyday in every way,

God creates a clean heart in you,

Yet often you turn away,

And no other way will do.

 

A selfish voice has often said,

The things you want to hear,

And it's easier than the truth,

When the truth's too hard to bear.

 

Wrong choices are painful,

And for others they're painful too,

But so often you're convinced,

It's the only choice for you.

 

So whenever you've been hurt,

You can turn to God for care.

By the reading of His word,

And going to Him in prayer,

 

He'll respond with what you need,

And help you through your fears,

He'll clean your heart indeed,

Free your soul and dry your tears.

  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
