Best Provision Poems
If it wasn't for the Lord
Who gave us sun and rain
We wouldn't have a harvest
Only land that's dry and plain.
So thank you Lord for blessing us
With everything we need
The sun and rain that nourishes
The planting of the seed.
For Brian's contest, Harvest
Agrarian....agriculture
wet and dry affecting bolster
basic grain pre-market commodity
dispersal targets rift uncommonly
Feedstock fodder higher priced
milk,egg,cheese will future thrice
upkeep livestock feel the strain
lack of grain...we'll all feel the pain
Corn,wheat,rice and soybean
hot potato money machine
pass the buck absorb the cost
surcharge tacked as all not lost
Gods provision is never far away
Gods provides for us every day
just as he provides for the birds that eat worm
and for those that eat seed
God provides for our ever need
just like wild flowers that clothe the grass
so eloquently
when you seek ye first the kingdom of God
all these things will be added unto you Amen
Philippians 4:19
19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus Amen
2 Corinthians 9
8 And God is able to make all grace every favour and earthly blessing come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.
9 As it is written, He the benevolent person scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and endure forever! Ps. 112:9.
10 And God Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity. Isa. 55:10; Hos. 10:12. Amen
Yellow fire hazards blemish the lawn,
prickly to bare summer feet.
Locusts overtake the heat.
Aphids feast and continue to spawn,
yet still remain strawberries to eat.

God has seen all our idolatry
how we've rejected His divine plan
casting off His goodness for our lovers
thinking of intervention by mere man
Their memories of God is gone
hoping only in themselves alone
but the Lord will come and punish
showing His dear love for His own
The Lord speaks so ever tenderly
His marriage vow wishes to restore
so repentance from His elect His desire
for the Lord opens the mercy door
There is indeed the valley of Achor
bringing vineyards aplenty at hope's door
receiving mercy as it was in Egypt
godly jewels straight from heavens store
Our God always has His perfect way
even in the valley sovereign God will reign
taking His own with HIm to victory
for our God battles are never in vain
(Hosea 2:13-15 (KJV)
13. And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord.
14. Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15. And I will give her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for the door of hope: and she shall sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came out of the land of Egypt.)
A
handful
meets our need-
just a little
digested daily,bread on which to feed
a
spoonful
fills our heart,
saturates us
from top to toe,so helping love to flow
Inspired by Elijah's story @! K 17:1-6
You deserve our adoring praise
For You alone are worthy of honor
Making our playing field more even
Gifting us with strength and power
To vanquish our enemies' schemes
We cannot express our thanks enough
For Your name is our provision
Let Your favor and mercy flow
This year will be one of recovery
Be still and know, trust in Your plans
For all that You died for us to gain
We will inherit in Your holy Name.
God surveys the sparrow as she cares for her young,
and attends to her every tune as it's sung.
He enables each egg to hatch in its hour
from single cells to pip punch with beak's power.
God brush strokes each feather varied tints of tan
and grants them to spread like an elegant fan.
He examines the sparrow's swoop to search for seed,
and provides from the earth to meet her every need.
God endows her with instincts to gather her nest,
yielding life cycles of shelter, warmth, and rest.
He knows other wonders none other can see.
He beholds each sparrow, and he watches o'r me.

Field of Vision
I have never seen an Angel,
They are not for me to see.
But I know a Heavenly sentry,
Is watching over me.
I have never met the Devil-
But some nights upon my Bed;
That sneaky Ugly rascal,
Dances wildly in my head,
In nighttime's lonely hours,
When all good children sleep.
Memories crowd around me;
and sad dark shadows creep.
I cannot see the future;
As through darkness I must trod.
But I trust my destination;
Is in the hands of God.
I have never seen my Savior;
walking on some quiet beach.
But I've found his sweet provision;
Always there within my reach.
Wild as ivy vines climbing up pines,
in the outskirts of nature
where mountain lions purr,
my lungs expand like the open land.
Breathing in peace, as rippling as a creek,
watching an eagle snatch up salmon,
I witness the cycle of life: unkind but providing.
Abiding upon a log bench, quenched
with dampened sun, dappled by branch shadows,
trickled with yesterday's torrential rain drench,
I bathe in thankfulness for abundance.
Smoked venison smothered with forged morels
satisfies my wild senses, with plenty to share.
Cares become lost in uncharted territory,
flung to the wild winds, blown like dust
settling upon lawn-like leaves
where fungi's forestry teeth eat them like treats.

Ever since Adam sinned at the fall
sin has entered every human alive
bringing spiritual death upon us all
lost forever no matter how we strive
God has worked out a perfect plan
sending His own dear son to rescue man
this would take Him to Calvary's cross
shedding His blood for His own clan
But man hates to accept God's truth
for the gospel declares God's great love
showing how great He loves sinners
will man believe God is enough?
God's call to sinners to repent
sounds forth to every listening ear
that Jesus is the only sure way
to receive forgiveness that's so dear
God's sufficient provision for all sinners
His call is still open to the day
salvation is found only in Jesus Christ
eternal life is the prize for all who obey
("I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”)
Luke 5: 32 (esv)
FARTHER FATHER WE REJOICE IN YOUR PROVISION-
Farther, yet infinitely ever close to me;
Shall I be the fore bearer of the protected?
Embraceable, not be replaceable
Finally farther father we rejoice in your provision
A chance to gift, up lift
Father I my soul and I
Reach out from within, as you are
Finally farther father we rejoice in your provision
Praise be to the glory, your glory Hallelujah

If God
Wrote it for you
It would never
Happen to
Anyone else.
You are being transported
On the road, HE, provided
In the JEEP promised to me
I got to walk the way
Following,HIM, in the dark
But never, really, got to see
How it would play out, in the natural
You are living in the home
A place of peace and rest, He, provided
To shelter from storms, outside
In the house promised to me
I found my home in HIS heart
Finding secret rooms, filled with treasure
That I left at HIS feet
But, I was homeLESS in the natural
You are eating the feast
At the table, HE, prepared
In the CHUPPAH provided for me
Someone was sitting in my place
So, I stood...
Wondering if my LOVE, would notice
He did, and enveloped me
Now, only those who seek HIM
...will see
