Reason A. Poteet Poet Shadorma

I Can Trust His Power

Yahweh is good,  A strong defense in the day of distress,
And He knows those who take refuge in Him.
Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who proclaims good news,
Who announces peace!  Celebrate your feasts, O Judah;
Pay your vows. For never again will the vile one pass through you;
He is cut off completely.
                                                                                  Nahum 1:7, 15

I can hear.
Yahweh speaks the truth
forcefully
with mercy.
Understanding my distress
His words are perfect.

I can see.
Yahweh breaks darkness
with wisdom
and warnings.
Eternity in clear sight,
He is praiseworthy.

I can feel.
His love engulfs me.
Safekeeping
assures me
I trust Yahweh with my life.
His might perseveres.

I can sense.
He calls me to share
the good news -
Jesus Christ
whose death purchased my pardon,
peace and paradise.

Paula Goldsmith April 2, 2026 at 2:22 PM Back with Congratulations on your win. I enjoyed reading your wonderful "I Can Trust His Power" write again. Have a Beautiful/Blessed Easter writing away............. Reason A. Poteet April 3, 2026 at 7:20 AM Much appreciation for your double comment, Paula... By His power, I avoided a crash at a left turn recently which by the way was my own fault...God is so forgiving and takes care of me in traffic lots of times. A very blessed Easter season to you also starting with the paradoxical Good Friday today and on into Resurrection Sunday.

Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2026 at 11:13 AM Beautiful. If you include a quote at the top, you get onus point. Thanks for your response to my Avengers poem Andrea Dietrich April 3, 2026 at 11:21 PM Haha. My texting is so bad Reason A. Poteet April 3, 2026 at 7:25 AM Thank you, Andrea. Sometimes I do include a quote; but skipped it this time for some reason. Likely a typo for bonus; but your word "onus" does carry an apt meaning here also.

Eve Roper March 25, 2026 at 9:45 PM Beautiful meaningful words: He, breaking your darkness, brings light to your soul. As He does for all that allow him to. Reason A. Poteet April 3, 2026 at 7:27 AM So very true; you support my gist completely. I love your thought "light to your soul", Eve. How do people survive without the Sonlight.

Paula Goldsmith March 19, 2026 at 10:22 AM I enjoyed reading your wonderful "I Can Trust His Power" write. Trust is a small yet very powerful word. "Good Luck" We both did this contest. Have a blessed day writing away............

Andrea Dietrich March 18, 2026 at 3:38 PM A glorious tribute to the Lord. If you put a quote at the top, it can do even better with Constance
