Premium Member HEART THAT PERSISTS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD

April 26 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on 2Kings 15-17

Key Verse – 2Kings 15:3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

HEART THAT PERSISTS TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His presence
That girds us in our frustration-silence
As He demands our faith’s persistence
Midst His truth to overcome doubts’ insistence and trust’s decadence.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His counsel
That enlightens us in our confusion-grapple
As He illumines our understanding with truth’s epistle
Midst His Word to smite obscurity’s darkness and falsity’s wimple.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His wisdom
That corrects us in our ignorance-boredom
As He guides our heart always, not just seldom
Midst His precepts to thwart lustfulness’ cravings and carnality’s freedom.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His query
That rebukes us in our self-pity’s fury
As He disciplines our unbelief of its afflicting injury
Midst His correction to subdue bitterness’ sorrow and discontentment’s misery.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His teaching
That strengthens us in our conviction-stretching
As He upholds our steadfastness through His standards’ preaching
Midst His help to conquer indecency’s entangling and worldliness’ reaching.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His sovereignty
That leads us in our submission-humility
As He overrules our pride’s integrity
Midst His leadership to hinder haughtiness’ vanity and selfishness’ futility.

Our heart persists to do what is right in the sight of the Lord with His direction
That governs us in our commitment-devotion
As He blesses our obedience along His instruction
Midst His goodness and greatness that grant us joy of our salvation.

Premium Member Where will I go?

                                                           On the wings of time
                                                    Without beginning and end
                                                     I continue to fly in eternity
                                                      As cosmic consciousness

                                                       Not limited to my body
                                                   Merging with ocean and sky
                                                     Becoming one with stars 
                                                      Is my absolute attribute 

                                                      Despite visible incapacity
                                                       To fathom the ultimate
                                                   The curiosity continues and
                                                   Seeker inside does not stop

                                                            I am one with all
                                                     Is the concrete conviction
                                                       An intrinsic realization
                                                    Far above comprehension

                                                            Where will I go
                                                     Cosmos has no borders 
                                                       All will remain inside
                                                              And so will I

The Midnight Walk

Softly uttered, beneath cold biting mist, 
footfalls muffled through stifling drifts, empty sidwalks embrace noone,
Frost heavily pluming, clinging on each sigh
In night's brazen stillness, beneath eerie lamp glow waning,
When dawn's long in coming, and all sleep like the dead,
Ah, then lets take a walk shall we , you and i?

Strolling as one, hand in hand, through icy winds
Past the churchyard gates, snow laden and chained,
Beyond empty glances of headstone cherubs,
Far off in darkness, solemn bells toll with straining conviction,
as winds moan wistfully, the tolling pierces the heart,
And I wonder in passing, how many more walks have we,
Beneath the silent moon overhead, white as bones in a shroud,
Shall the secnt of cinnamon haunt me into my dreams, yes i am certain,
For your eyes resemble heavens gates, amd my soul longs for redemption,
An angel draped in my tattered, time-worn jacket, littered with marks of life's ventures,
And yet you bear no wings to fly, but still you comfort me as morning draws nigh,
Crosstown bungalow, windows shuttered, still as my breath
As you I guide you once more up treacherous steps, 
Our hands we let fall, a yearning stare betrays me,
"Tomorrow night again?  Or when shall it be??",
Only a nod and a smile left imprinted to my heart,
"Hang on to the jacket.  I'll pick it up in the morning." 
Your smile never falters, unweathered by the wind,
And I turn to leave this night and you,
Leave this world behind for the rising sun,
An arm reached out, gripped with sorrow and infinity,
Pulled back into your everlasting embrace, 
A kiss so deep, I feel I'm drowning,
God, let me drown...let me...drown....
You're gone.


Empty streets the morning finds,
save for me and my memories, trapped between time,
Stray dog struts past, hunting eagerly some alleyway breakfast,
But my business waits at the churchyard, still silent, still chained,
I climb over and drop, the gates clank in protest,
Between the rows of headstones, I walk  in solemn sprit,
Thirteen rows now, then fifiteen, I know the way  well,
And upon the eighteenth row, I find without mistake,
And draped across the frozen ground.....
My tattered, time-worn jacket.

Some Hero

He could have been a hero brave
 not the clown up on the stage
a man of courage and convictions
 escaping the  beautiful perfect hoax 
instead. he has become the brunt of every joke.

He could have been a hero rallied
 a warrior gathering troops to carry
the leader acting with common sense and truth
 with the confidence in the chosen intelligence
prepared and prepped ready to meet every circumstance.

Heroes don't announce imagined achievements
 rather they breathe direction in humility, inner conviction
the presidential soldier, the leader of the nation
 takes the reins and boldly steps forward in communication
with a plan, inner strength lacking any hesitation.

He could have been a hero
 but who has he become, another Nero
some demagogue captured within his mind
 biding time, place and position soon erased
as the nation waits for some new hero to take his place.

Fortunate

Fortunate
I decided when I met you
And it happened pretty fast
That I want to keep this feeling
That I want the bliss to last
One might think that my decision
Reeks of ignorance and haste
They may judge my resolution
Or even claim I lack good taste
But such notions do not stir me
They are trivial at best
What’s the use of contemplating?
I feel fortunate and blessed
Common sense has found an ally
It has Feelings as a friend
This gives power to Conviction
Doubt felt out of place and went
And I’m all the more courageous
I am set to take the dive
Hear me saying, yes, I’m shouting
’I will be your wedded wife!’

Premium Member The Sin of Unbelief

There was a time when I  disbelieved
in the true sense of what it's to believe
I knew not of the true living God
in this state, my soul could only grieve

But God was faithful never giving up
revealing himself in the person of His Son
this son of God is revealed in holy writ
the Lord Jesus Christ the saviour bar none

I thank God for the conviction of my sin
in my heart thinking what can I do?
the gospel which I never had heard
then in the mid-20s I heard this is true

This was such a revelation to receive
realising to not believe brings death
needing spiritual birth to truly believe
God is sovereign even to our very breath

Now for 37 years, I've followed Jesus
the one who loves me fully without measure
He went to Calvary's cross paid for my sins
setting me free to believe on my treasure

Premium Member Something In the Way Kurt Cobain

Born in Aberdeen Washington 
where he hung out,

“Underneath the bridge, 
the tarp has sprung a leak”

Taught himself to play guitar, 
liked to smoke some weed,

“And the animals I’ve trapped 
have all become my pets”

Started writing songs, 
had very deep meaning,

“And I’m living off of grass 
and drippings from the ceiling”

Formed the band Nirvana
with some of his buddies,

“But it’s ok to eat fish, 
cause they don’t have any feelings”

“Something in the way”
boy he’s got ambition,
“Something in the way yeah”
unwavering conviction,
“Something in the way”
chronic stomach condition,
“Something in the way yeah”
impending perdition. 

Records started to sell 
superstardom beckoned,

“Underneath the bridge, 
the tarp has sprung a leak”

Took the billboard chart by storm, 
Grunge had found its champion,

“And the animals I’ve trapped 
have all become my pets”

Money started to come in, 
met ‘Courtney Love’ it seems,

“And I’m living off of grass, 
and drippings from the ceiling”

Got married had a child, 
They named her Frances Bean,

But it’s ok to eat fish, 
cause they don’t have any feelings. 

“Something in the way”
by your own admission. 
“Something in the way yeah”
is it drug addiction, 
“Something in the way”
rehab with no remission,
“Something in the way yeah”
a round of ammunition. 

Nothings in the way, 
they can feel you breathing,
Board spells out your name 
a very eerie feeling,
Gun went off by mistake 
is the wound still healing,
Sigrid’s seance was no fake,
I am so believing,
A voice of burning nails
exorcising demons,
Goodbye Kurt Cobain 
tarp was only weeping. 

By 
David Kavanagh

Inspired by
Sigrid Ermine poem
Called by Cobain seance

Premium Member If It Wasn't For Poetry

Poetry has always been with me, I just didn’t know it.
I didn’t know verse and lines of rhymes 
                                            were prayers of my heart
And how could a child who needed escape,
                                             know such feelings exist

All in good fun, with a jingle or two
                               I’d “ditty” my way through a party
They’d call upon me to liven the crowd
                                  Some humor to “jolly” the room

Yet later when loss had its lessons 
                            And words were my only true friend
I knew then that I was a poet, I knew then
                                                      how I understand

So now, with reflection so certain  
                                        Without hesitation or pause
I say with a fervent conviction
                       If it wasn’t for poetry, I wouldn't be me
