Marcia's Poems of the Week 8.5.2022

 "Good Work" and "Equipped" (The photo attached is of my granddaughter Emily reading to my now 7 year old great granddaughter Arwyn).  2 Timothy 3:14-17 \  You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work. And Titus 2:14, NLT: He gave his life to free us from every kind of sin, to cleanse us, and to make us his very own people, totally committed to doing good work.


GOOD WORK  2 Timothy 3:14-17


Take care to value God's message,
It's more treasured than worldly wealth,
It's more prized than worldly knowledge,
And more cherished than the best of health.


God's sacred writings persuade you,

To share Good News with the World.
And equips your mind with His view, 

Of how to live life in His Word.

To accept the Holy Spirit is a must,
It'll bring His love and truth to your heart,
With teaching and reproof you can trust,
It'll implant wisdom that'll never part.

Wisdom will help you let go of the World,
And be done with its plans of darkness,
Nothing's there to gain, take God's Word,
It's useful for training in righteousness.

The Word will mature you perfectly through,
As faith in Christ Jesus saves you,
His Word keeps you strong and able to do,
Every Good Work He puts before you. 

Marcia Riehle  2022


A poem for my great grandsons: Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah. Psalm 71:17 “O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood, and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do..” NLT

Matthew 4:4 “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord”

EQUIPPED  2 Timothy 3:14-17

God equips you with sound doctrine,
For which you can learn and share,
There is so much wrong thinking,
All-around you everywhere.

But God's word gives you direction,
And holds you up when you're down,
With blessings beyond imagination,
You can share with those all around.

All of God's people are precious,
And you can count on Him alone,
For He loves each dear person,
And wants to bless each one.

  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
