Enough, he said with voice pitched low
Enough for now, he whispered slow
And curled in upon himself
Having nothing left to show
Knowing no one and nonself
Enough, he cried though no one heeded
Enough for now, as he retreated
And left another piece behind
Having no faith to be intreated
Perceiving his own broken mind
Enough, he proclaimed with a tremor
Enough for now, if I remember
And cursed himself a fool
Having no word to condemn her
Aware that she was ever cruel
Enough, he shouted above the gale
Enough for now, and beyond the pale
And twisted his face into a scowl
Having nothing to add to the tale
Conscious of the verdict’s howl
Enough, he cursed deep and vile
Enough for now, with poet’s style
And laughed with bitter fortune
Having lost the courage to smile
Mindful of his full lost portion
Enough, he screamed from soul deep
Enough for now, as he woke from his sleep
And shuddered as his eyes opened
Having nothing and no tears to weep
Heeding the anguish that life betokened

April 30 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on 1Chronicles 5-6
Key Verse – 1Chronicles 5:20 And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO IS INTREATED OF US
Praise be to God Who is intreated of us because we:
Trust in His grace
Thank His generosity
Teach by His guidance
Toil for His gloriousness
Triumph along His greatness
1Chronicles 5:26 Praise be to the Lord Who
stirs up our spirit for:
Service with humility
Separation along honesty
Sacrifice against haughtiness
Stewardship with helpfulness
Surrender that honours Him midst holiness
1Chronicles 6:15 Praise be to the Saviour for carrying us away from:
Worldliness that breeds sinfulness
Weariness that builds up slothfulness
Waywardness that braces stubbornness
Wealthiness that brags about selfishness
Worthlessness that is branded with shamefulness. Amen!

Godly wisdom working my spirit…
Such I need to glorify the Saviour with grace
While He molds me by His holy writ
Toward fruitful stewardship of faithfulness’ brace.
Heavenly wisdom* propelling my devotion…
Such I thank God for with praise-filled worship
While He guides me according to His instruction
Toward compassionate ministry-deeds midst His fellowship.
*James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
