Days Are Coming

The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “when I will send a famine through the land— not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. People will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.
Amos 8:11?-?12 NIV

The days are coming
Will one ever learn
The more one rejects God
The more confusion and delusion
Sent out for one to starve
Would one put trust in man to save 
Who is lead by spirit of this world
More worried about external things
That shall fade and pass away
It's within ones soul that is starving 
For the true word of God
Thirsting for the living spirit 
Still many trying to find fame
Wanting praise in their name
Jesus has done the hard work
While giving all praise to God
Saying it's not me that is good
But God that worketh through Him
To be an example unto all
People will stagger here and fro
Stumbling around in darkness at noon
Weeping and gnashing of anger unto all
Hopefully one day to seek Christ
Getting tired of things seen
Receiving the promised spirit
Within to reveal the truth
To see all the deception in religion
How can one expect ungodly to seek
When the so many called godly are divided
In the word of making it fit their own shrine.
Turning  their back on God
Worshipping the sun, moon, stars,
And things of glory made with their hands
Only through worship of spirit and truth
To be revealed the truth of one is no good
But only through the resurrection within
The spirit might dwell to create 
One a lighted path unto the Kingdom 
May God bless, comfort, guide and fill
You with His peace, love, spirit and joy
In abundance for all who are tired 
And seeking a refuge for ones soul and path.

This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
1 John 5:6 KJV

"May God bless, comfort, guide and fill/ You with His peace, love, spirit and joy/ In abundance for all who are tired/ And seeking a refuge for ones soul and path".

K. Parker March 18, 2023 at 7:40 PM Bravo Stephan. One must go within to find the word. However, most microcosms never find it. The word is within man, ready to be lit, once he comes into awareness of the life force, from within. Great job Stephan. Stephan McBride March 20, 2023 at 8:33 PM Amen my friend, it's within the new life creation comes to be, but this world blindly rejects it, as the parable of the falling seed and so on, May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love, spirit and joy in abundance: )
