August 11 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 1-3
Key Verse – Jeremiah 1:19 And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HIS DELIVERANCE
Praise be to God for His deliverance:
Directing us to His will
Defending us from war-wreckage
Disentangling us against worldliness
Diverting us toward His work so worthy
Dealing with us by His Word in our weakness
Jeremiah 2:21 Praise be to the Lord for planting us
as noble vine and right seed:
Brightened though His salvation-righteousness
Blossoming with His shining restoration
Blessed along His sanctification-revival
Blissful by His Scripture-regeneration
Blooming in His steadfast rays
Jeremiah 3:14 Praise be to the Saviour
for turning us to Him from backsliding to:
Stay in His peace and truth
Seek His pardon so triumphant
Settle in His power with our trust
Set our posture upon His proven testimony
Show our security in His providence midst trials. Amen!

The gnome wizard is proud of his transmogrifying hat.
Through telepathy he can cajole it to turn into a cat.
Or a dragon, an anaconda, a worm, a mealy mouse or rat.
The only thing he does not ask is that it turns into a bat.
A bat gets stuck in his hair and makes him sneeze.
Disentangling a bat is not easy, not any kind of breeze.
He might consider it if it is below zero, and a freeze.
For if he wore a hat he might get rid of him with ease.

Doppelgänger
by Michael R. Burch
Here the only anguish
is the bedraggled vetch lying strangled in weeds,
the customary sorrows of the wild persimmons,
the whispered complaints of the stately willow trees
disentangling their fine lank hair,
and what is past.
I find you here, one of many things lost,
that, if we do not recover, will undoubtedly vanish forever ...
now only this unfortunate stone,
this pale, disintegrate mass,
this destiny, this unexpected shiver,
this name we share.

I don’t lie-in bed for an extra minute
I will have time for that when it’s too late
Somewhere it is already tomorrow
They are catching life’s new joys and sorrow
My turn to awake and live it out
Every minute reveled and endured
Disentangling myself from this bed
Is not about my arms, but my head

Small we stand large with poetry and verse write about sun and sheer darkness
Rainfall comets and tides as a micro-cosmos in a world that lacks infinite words
Some throw in science philosophy intimate narrative disclose heartache or joy
We share love faith hope reason and feelings and take comfort in pencil and ink
A lotus flower evolves on the page with a fig tree or a violet rose covered in ivy
Spiders weave webs on dinosaurs’ spikes shielding honesty while the globe spins
Icarus melts as a Phoenix rises from vanishing ashes dispersed by Pegasus wings
A Unicorn smiles kindly for a Dragon to rest in the soul of our intricate minds
Embracing life’s vagary disentangling fallacies and truths we point to them both
Impermanent and miniscule we are part of a Universe and speak out for freedom
