Marcia's Poem of the Week “SING THROUGH THE BATTLE” 6/3/2022

2 Chronicles 20:21, NLT: After consulting the people, the king appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the LORD and praising him for his holy splendor. This is what they sang: 'Give thanks to the LORD; his faithful love endures forever!'

Psalm 95: 1-3 NLT 1 Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. 3 For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods.

SING THROUGH THE BATTLE


God is fitted for your battle,

It is not up to you alone,

When you find you're in trouble,

His shield becomes your own.

So take Him at His Word,

And sing with all your heart,

No fear can overwhelm or hurt,

Love heals all that tears apart.

His love for you prevails,

It goes before and behind,

And He covers all that ails,

To soothe and calm your mind.

Sing away all that shackles you,

Sing away unto the Lord of love.

He'll never forget or forsake you,

Even if it takes His army above.

Poem of the week for my great grandson: Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah .  Years ago, when your grandma was a little girl we went to church together.

She told me how much she misses us singing together during worship.

 

SING

 

Inspire the world to sing, 

Bring melody to each day, 

Delight in the Lord and King,

Singing of His holy way.

Sing words of trust and hope, 

To the tune of unselfish love, 

Join others around the globe,  

As well as the heavens above. 

Connect to God's steadfast beat,

Give into His artesian dance,

Keep time with His tapping feet, 

To be awakened from your trance. 

God's words move us, 

With a taste of the world to come, 

And He'll remove things unjust, 

And make our voices one.

Praise God for His charity,

His faithful love forever endures,

Raise your voice to His holy city, 

For all our hope in Him insures.

  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
