Marcia's Poem of the Week 7.22.2022

 Marcia's Poem of the week 7-22-2022 - Hebrews 4:12-14 & Matthew 11:28-29. The photo taken is seven of my great grandchildren ranging in ages 8 years to 3 months old. They are resting on the couch long enough to take their picture.😅


ENTERING GOD'S REST Hebrews 4:12-14  “12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable. 14 So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.”

ENTERING GOD'S REST Hebrews 4:12-14

Living and active is God's Holy Word,

It is sharper than a two edged sword.


It penetrates the body whole,
That divides joints, marrow, spirit and soul.

It exposes thoughts and attitudes that are right,
And nothing is hidden from our Lord's sight.

Everything's laid bare before His eye,
And it is before Him that we live and die.

So believe in the Lord who loves you so,
Let Him be with you wherever you go.

Lean and depend on Him and do your best
To make your heart soft and enter His rest.

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


SURVIVING STRESS Matthew 11:28-29 (NLT) 28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

SURVIVING STRESS Matthew 11:28-29

Sometimes you may feel unloved,
And have lost all sense of warmth or light.
Though you've done all you can think of,
You feel like something's not quite right.

Remember, "Come to me" said Jesus,
When you're burdened by your day,
For it is He who sets you free,
As you take His yoke and learn His way.

Seek after that special moment,
For the Lord's peace and grace,
Will make your heart transparent,
And burdens will perish in that place.

He enables you to love others,
And gifts you and makes you whole,
And He'll merge His Spirit to yours,
Where you'll find rest for your soul.

  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
