Marcia's Poem of the Week 8.12.2022

 

Thursday morning on August 11, 2022 at the park my friend and I met a homeless woman who was trying to get help from various organizations. She is devastated and having difficulty finding help. Her family is unable to help her. Please pray for her and her family. Her name is Angelique.

Marcia's Poem of the Week 8-12-2022 “And Why Worry” Matthew 6:28-33 NLT 28. “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29. yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? 31. “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

“AND WHY WORRY” Matthew 6: 19-34

Why worry in the morning,
And worry in the evening.
Why worry all the time,
About everything you're needing.

Are finances nearly gone,
Has sickness overcome,
Do you wonder where God is,
Are you feeling all alone?

Has your friends all scattered,
Has your family turned away,
Is your heart all battered,
Has your life gone astray?

Raise your eyes to heaven,
Place your hand on its gate,
Open your heart to Jesus,
For you don't have to wait.

With love you're surrounded,
Show Him the tears you cry,
He has each hair counted,
And He hears your every sigh.

He's near through every trial,
Holding you within His arms,
Supplying your needs all the while,
And keeping you safe from harm.

He's near when you seek Him,
And He'll set your spirit free,
For He gives again and again,
Until you have everything you need.

Marcia's Poem of the week for my great grandsons, Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah. Ephesians 1:14 “Even before He made the world God loved us [you] and made us [you] in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes.”

“HE LOVED YOU"

You are a wonderment,
God made you just so,
With the heart of a servant,
That'll make your love grow.

You're to move forward,
With a Christ-like mind,
Making the way toward,
The lost left behind.

You are blessed to serve,
Your hands are made to heal,
And the message you've heard,
Will inflame your heart with zeal.

Your anointed with God's word,
And chosen to take the lead,
To awaken a sleeping World,
With God's own Gospel creed.

  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
