Marcia's Poem of the Week " WHERE DOES MY HELP COME FROM?" 

 Psalms 121:1-4 NIV  6/17/2022

In the past, on Sunday June 13 2010 12 PM, the Ohio State Stadium had 8,652 graduates. We drove to Columbus, Ohio to see my granddaughter graduate. She was one among 6,086 Bachelor Degree graduates. She was wearing a straw hat during Commencement, as you can see in this photo. (middle of the top row). And we were glad because we would have never been able to see her. But that is not true of God. He always knows where you are.

Psalms 121:1-4 NIV “I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip— he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”


WHERE DOES MY HELP COME FROM? Psalms 121:1-4 NIV

You try hard to climb many mountains,
And you swim equally-hard through life's sea,
Nature around you would have you done-for,
If it wasn't for the Lord who sets you free.

Though you cannot find God on your own,
Though you cannot see him with your naked eye,
You know He loves and controls you as His own,
And masters your mountain and your sky.

You can count on Him for all you need,
He'll be with you wherever you go,
If your eyes need to be opened to see,
It is the Lord who will make it so.

You can know your foot will not slip,
For He does not slumber nor sleep,
He'll hold you steady within His grip,
Trust that it's you He'll safely keep.

Move forward without eyes to see.
Remember the Lord has total control,
He'll guide you over mountain and sea,
When you trust His working in your soul.

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

“My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth!” Psalm 121: 1

HIS LOVE HELPS YOU Psalm 121: 1

God made you able to know,

He made your ears to hear,

He made your feet go,
And remains forever near.

The Lord is your maker,
He knows you completely through,
And grants love and favor,
And shows you what to do.

He lends His helping hand,
And is your mouth-piece too,

Miracles will come from Him,

As His Spirit guides you through.

  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
