250325 The Lion and the Lamb

 The Lion and the Lamb 

March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb
With blustery weather and then clear, blue skies 
But, what can you say about the great I Am
As lion and lamb, he is characterized

The lion is known as a ferocious beast
Equipped with a thunderous roar
March weather can be quite often like that
Torrential rains from the fiercest downpour 

Yet, can also be soft, tender and warm
Like the white fleece of a little lamb
With sweet, gentle breezes and fluffy, light clouds
But, what about the great I Am

All March weather's required, be it boisterous or calm
Part of God's perfect plan to have both
For with rain and sunshine, winter's grip is released
Just what's needed to spring forth new growth

When thinking of Jesus and all that he is
How each a lion and lamb he can be
Can be both strong and fierce, also gentle and kind
Though that seems to be a dichotomy 

Yet, the lion of Judah, omnipotent Christ 
Was so strong that he conquered the grave
But, like meek, gentle lamb, shed his blood for our sins
Perfect sacrifice; our souls did save

Lion Jesus can be fierce with his enemies
Strong and just as true evil he slays
Yet, to those that he loves and calls as his own
Lamb so gentle and kind in his ways

So as March blows on through, ponder glorious way
Very nature reflects our dear Lord
As our lion and lamb, sin's strong grip he defeats
Our right standing with God is restored

240606 The Word You Use

 T he Words You Use Be careful 'bout the words you use For words can injure; words can bruise Be careful 'bout the things you say For hurtful words, one's soul can slay It's not just words you use, but tone For tone has meaning all its own And if you've raised a teenage child You know their tone's what drives you wild The words you use carry such weight To express love or start debate For kind words can be source of life But biting words breed only strife A loving word makes someone's day Like honey, are kind words you say Yet, angry words, spoken in haste Will only leave a bitter taste  Don't know 'bout you, but I feel bad If speak unkind because I'm mad And though I'm sorry in the end Know they can't be unheard again Repaired relations come with price Won't have to pay if just talked nice The damage is already done  Though the word battle you have won The Word says tongue's a two edged sword  And words once said can't be ign...

240821 Little Things

  Little Things  I got a pebble in my shoe Though was a tiny thing It caused a bruise upon my heel And oh, such pain did bring  Was walking on a windy day Got speck of sand in eye Was almost too small to be seen  But surely made me cry A dear one was upset with me Harsh words - said one or two The sting of then, hard to forget Though we began anew A little fib seems no big deal No harm in a white lie Till it becomes a habit And the fibs just multiply Ofttimes, it's just a little thing That can throw you off track Yet, all those small things added up Can break the camel's back  And sometimes little things grow big Creating quite a mess For most don't simply go away When they are not addressed  Pebble must be removed from shoe The sand washed out of eye Harsh words need an apology  The truth, replace a lie  The devil knows this principle  So that's how he begins Whispers to you his little lies Compromises lead to sins He gets you to take little...

230926 Strongholds

Strongholds Has Satan got a hold on you Controlling what you say or do Do worries keep you up at night And every day feels like a fight Keep doing things you know are wrong You want to stop, but aren't that strong  The devil knows right where you're weak So, in your ears, his lies will speak  "You'll never change. "This sin's okay." "God won't forgive. " " Have your own way." Then soon you find bad ways take hold And meeker actions become bold Soon harmful thoughts will so repeat  That best attempts end in defeat  Next, lies become the truth you hear "The Father's wrath is what's to fear." So, no way out is in your sight  It's not yourself that you must fight For blood and flesh are not what's wrong  A spiritual battle all along We must attack things at the source For any hope to change our course See, holy weapons win this war And bring defeat to Satan's door So, give the battle to the One It's in...
