March 3 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Deuteronomy 14-16

Key Verse– Deuteronomy 14:2 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO MAKES US HIS PEOPLE	

Praise be to God for making us His people:
Chosen to be peculiar unto Himself with His salvation
Called to be powerful in His Spirit
Commanded to be productive according to His Scriptures 
Cleansed to be proven along servanthood
Consecrated to be peaceful in our stewardship 

Deuteronomy 15:5 Praise be to the Lord for
encouraging us to hearken unto His voice and:
Observe to do all His commandments
Offer our best to Him constantly
Optimize our efforts for His cause
Organize our ministry along His compassion
Order our steps upon His caring

Deuteronomy 16:10, 17 Praise be to the Saviour 
Who is inviting us to give to His work by His:
Granted blessings always many
Gracious bestowment so marvellous
Great benefits with His miracles
Good blooms of bounty-maximization
Generous bread-basket to share with His mercy.

Premium Member The Benefits of Nature

Nature's artwork is out of this world,
Too magnificent for words
Splashes of paint of every hue
As if hurled with gay abandon
From bottomless paint pots
To a canvas in the sky
Creating exquisite shapes and artwork
In all, it has many shapes and forms.
Only nature artists do not conform.
To any other visual still-life painters,
Because perfection cannot be competed with.
Nature's paint pot brings joy to us all,
Physically and mentally.
It personifies every emotion.
Life is not always a walk in the park,
Or a walk out of the woods,
But it can lighten your heart for a while
And give you hope for the future.

They Don'T Understand

They don't understand
I ask them to allow me live
Still they pollute my space
With their ignorance
Forcing me to be who 
Am not meant to be 
Was the friendship 
They desire from my soul
Is obvious they forgot 
I have my mind 
And that is not for trade

They don't understand
Cos they wish to see 
Me behave 
They way they think 
They border my personality
Only for me to be convinced
Into a life they never suit 
My soul 
So sad am judge just 
For how I look 
Not by the content
I bear 
So when I write this way 
Is very obvious still 
They don't understand 

They don't understand
Why I refuse to change
They want me different
But I want to perceive
My self by my self 
What else do they want 
I wish I could gave that 
Very thing they wish
But I can't trade my destiny
To lesser than what it deserved
I wonder how my life must 
Be changed 
When I am not ready 
To walk another mans way 
If I have my way 
Why will I change 
So simple as this 
Yet it is so difficult 
For them to understand
Cos till now despite my 
The knowledge I perceived
From  them yet and still
I don't understand why 
They don't understand

They don't understand
They don't look at the world 
They ignored what reality says
Yet they want to change me 
They can always talk about 
Our problems 
They know it but it not 
A problem to them 
If they benefits from power 
Where will their chance of 
Change come from 
So when I rebel against
Injustice 
I wonder why am misunderstood
I wonder yet and still why 
They don't understand

Premium Member ENJOYING TROPICAL ISLAND DELIGHT

I woke up on a tropical island, mesmerized by ocean wonders:

Abounding with marine life, so awesome
Blessed by God, the Supreme Creator
Colossal bodies of water* function verily well
Delighting mankind with their oceanic roles…

Enabling oxygen production with ease
Freely regulating the Earth system 
Graciously transferring heat around the world
Helpfully driving climate and weather conditions…

Influential in the global carbon cycle
Joyously supplying aquatic resources
Kindly providing economic and social services
Lovely home to a lot of biodiversity like coral reefs…

Main reservoir of sea nutrients, minerals and salts
Nurturing atmosphere by decreasing green-house effect
Oceans act as transport means by merchants
Purposeful in trade propelling progress and development…

Quieting distress and qualms midst recreation pursuits
Refreshing, reinvigorating and truly relaxing
Simply satiating sailing satisfaction with serenity
Therapeutic indeed while indulged in nature trip, triumphant…

Useful, profitable while employing millions worldwide
Valuable in food production… that’s obvious
Worthy for menu ingredients midst festive dining
X-factor to population that lives on coastlines
Yes with their health benefits for humans
Zest and zeal they contribute to cultural and spiritual significance!

*Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Premium Member A Highly Debated Issue - Carolyn Devonshire

A "Highly" Debated Issue


From glaucoma to chemotherapy
Medical marijuana has its place
But you won’t find any prescribed
In the conservative Sunshine State

Chris couldn’t eat while under treatment
Watched him lose one-hundred pounds
He had no access to an appetite stimulant
His weight was 85 when laid in the ground

Hefty Jen had lived a life of kindness
Taught spiritually uplifting courses
She suffered when chemo raced through her system
Until people said, “How beautifully slim her corpse is.”

When Dad’s glaucoma grew severe
He relied only on eye drops that made him tear
His gift of sight was taken slowly
Though THC might have helped his eyes clear

And when I first wrestled with ulcerative colitis
A college friend brought me a joint, said, “Try it”
Less than an hour later I was eating without pain
But laws are clear, Florida doctors can’t prescribe it

Research has proved there are benefits
Only medical marijuana use can provide
But those who worry about drug abuse
Say those who could benefit should be denied

Each day in the headlines we read of drunk drivers
Mostly teens who seek access through friends
And if they want marijuana, they find a way to get it
But for those who abide by laws, agony never ends

If smoking pot or ingesting a tablet of THC
Can help a person who is suffering great pain
Don’t you think the time has come
To ask prohibitionists to explain

Why people who are hurting needlessly
Cannot have access to any remedy
That soothes their aches, improves their last days
Diminishing the symptoms of their tragedy

Why I love C.D’s poem “ A Highly Debated Issue”: 

Carolyn Devonshire’s poems showcase the extraordinary thoughtful mind behind those lines. All of Carolyn’s poems are profound, and full of depth, but this poem especially touched me -  I had the similar experience of losing a beloved one to the deadly disease, and we were not able to give him relief during the last days of intense pain. Carolyn was a strong, sensitive, generous, caring human being and a talented poetess, who loved life in her own way - she loved sand, and left her footprints on the shores of this mysterious earth.

A Rich Experience

Privilege folk are a different breed, 
they don’t know what it is to need,
they're unaware they live in greed, 
from our spectrum they are freed.

Without need there’s no want,
greed means you’ve got,
need breeds anxiety, worry,
while greed removes the plot.

You must deal with worry without a purchase,
it’s the seed of fear that makes you nervous,
while greed just kills the value and purpose, 
the thrill of the chase experience surplus. 

When exposed to nerves you build composure, 
you can’t buy things and switch your focus,
mission through grit with hope unsure, 
while money illusions, hocus pocus. 

The rich will pay to distract their mind,
they unwind they don't live the grind, 
they just move on leave it behind,
escaping, they don't face mankind.

They put down people that live on benefits,
as if handouts aren’t their whole life benefit,
they don’t fear money or can't clear a debt,
go hungry, basic needs don’t know regret. 

Hard times build character, it sees us through, 
with the privileged, well, it’s not what they do,
they stay the same, their situation does too,
they don’t get this poem, nope, no clue.

Things in life that we’ve all done,
gaining know how though it weren’t fun, 
you still thinking the privileged won? 
Just look at their life, null nude numb.

Premium Member Their Rainbow Colored Camouflage

Some people wear smiles out in public
as if those smiles were sewn on their faces.
Often they are adorned by costly apparel.
The women, in flattering makeup and 
with hair beautifully coiffured,
flaunt gowns created by renowned fashion designers
and accessorized with glittering jewelry
and expensive heels and handbags.

They are the rich, the “beautiful people,”
social butterflies in a rainbow of colors
seen attending their special clubs and functions
or charity benefits,
where they flit about with others of their elite class.

I have seen them on television
and representations of them in movies.
I suppose viewing them impersonally this way
is the closest I will ever get to them
as I sit watching them from my well-worn sofa,
knowing that nobody can have a life 
so seemingly perfect
yet marveling
                        at their rainbow colored camouflage.

Premium Member All Is Well

All is well, God’s in full control ever
Lifting your spirit; leaving you never
Leading thru His light as your faith-driver!

In this dearth-despair midst ailment’s fever
Still, God remains the perfect care Giver.

Witness again His miracle-lever
Exposing mercy of divine Lover…
Loading* His blessings of peace forever
Letting you become His grace-receiver!

*Psalm 68:19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation.
