Marcia's Poem of the Week 9.02.2022

Poem of the Week by Marcia -SURRENDERING 

Daniel 3:8-27 tells us that God doesn't say hard times will not happen if we believe, but He promises to be there with us, walking through the fire with us, wrapping us in His sweet embrace.

Daniel 3:25; says, “Four men were walking in the furnace and the fourth person was a son of the gods.” Daniel 3:27; says that “everyone saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair on their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.”

SURRENDERING - Daniel 3: 8-27

Walk us through fires heated,
Bring comfort to body and bone,
Let us feel Your love completed,
For You are our final home.
So when the temperature rises,
May the heat just spur us on,
Beyond the questions and surprises,
May Your love hold us strong.
Let us know today is just a part,
For tomorrow has so much more,
Yet going on with you in our heart,
We will excel as we endure.
Bring it on and let us feel it,
Help us know your saving Grace,
Walk with us through fires heated.
Wrapped in Your sweet embrace. Amen.

Poem of the week for Jeremiah, Tobiah and Elijah: 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 NLT 12. If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. 13. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.


SURRENDERING   1 Corinthians 10:12-13

Be careful not to fall,
Temptations are appealing,
They are common to us all,
And feed upon our feelings.

However, God is ever faithful,
Allowing nothing we can't bear,
Strength is found in being grateful,
And learning how to share.

The Lord is your anchor,
Providing a way out,
He tempers your anger,
And eases your doubt.

Tap into His Mercy,
Follow His steps each day,
For kind is His journey,
And gentle is His way.

  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
