February 12 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Numbers 3-4
Key Verse – Numbers 3:4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
HEART THAT WILL NOT OFFER STRANGE FIRE BEFORE THE LORD
Our heart will not offer strange fire before the Lord, admonished by His warning
Indeed, we abide by His strengthening
Toward His perfect will of great grace-dining
And not to forsake Him because of sinning.
Our heart will not offer strange fire before the Lord, charged by His courage
Indeed, we stay in His covenant midst worldliness’ flirty marriage
Toward His promised land of bountiful provision-storage
And not to provoke Him to anger along jealousy rage.
Our heart will not offer strange fire before the Lord, upheld by His kindness
Indeed, we trust His Word with His faithfulness
Toward His purposeful plan that glorifies Him with His goodness
And not to doubt Him due to unbelief’s stubbornness.
Our heart will not offer strange fire before the Lord, moved by His command
Indeed, we follow His instructions upon precepts’ so heavenly grand
Toward His protective security of peaceful obedience-propped demand
And not to rebel against Him whenever our iniquities He does reprimand.
Our heart will not offer strange fire before the Lord, cheered by His victory
Indeed, we esteem His presence in telling the Gospel story
Toward His prevailing triumph of holy worship-glory
And not to frustrate Him in our vanity that brings misery.
Our heart will not offer strange fire before the Lord, enclosed by His leadership-tie
Indeed, we delight in His care as He drives us to faith-high
Toward His persistent compassion that keeps us as the apple of His eye
And not to displease Him with our deceit and lie.
Our heart will not offer strange fire before the Lord, taught by His Word
Indeed, we salute His standards along His Spirit’s sword
Toward His commendable approval as He has favoured
And not to dishonour Him with our disobedience that is evil-savoured.

I know we moved from lovers to friends in a short moment in time.
But where was time when we were enjoying the moment?
Could it have been the beginning of true love?
Or a great friendship?
The distance between us has made you blossom like a rose;
A rose encased by a delicate glass.
Denying the onlooker the pleasure to touch and pluck its petals.
Would breaking the glass harm the flower?
The rose being you,
And the glass friendship.
The distance between you, the glass and me is the desire for the inevitable.
Do you see what I see?
Do you see the glass break?
And do you see me without friendship?
As it would be shattered so our love could continue where it had never stopped.
But just delayed by the glass called friendship.
Time has ministered to me of the way I feel for you.
And I hope that you feel the same way too.
Love from your admirer from behind the glass called friendship..

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO ACCEPTS OUR
SWEET-SAVOURED SACRIFICE UNTO HIM

Wending my way down a country road in my air-conditioned car,
In yon vale a weathered church steeple beckoned me from afar.
'Twas Sunday morning and the clarion peal of its bell caught my ear.
There stood a simple House of God with a graveyard in the rear.
My faithfulness in matters religious had never been that good,
Since attending Church and Sunday School in my childhood.
But something ethereal drew me to that bucolic setting so serene;
I craved deliverance from my stressful and very hectic routine.
I unobtrusively entered the sanctuary and sat in the very last pew.
An elderly pastor ministered to his flock, who numbered a scanty few.
The ancient hymns they sang evoked fond memories as a lad;
My eyes grew misty as I recalled singing them with Mom and Dad.
The pastor preached a simple sermon based on John Three-sixteen,
That would have stirred the soul of a reigning king or queen!
I left that modest but sacred place with renewed hope in my heart,
Inspired by those timeless truths that old pastor did impart.
I've heard profound oratory in majestic cathedrals o'er this sphere,
But never a more soul-searching sermon will I ever hear,
Than from that humble pastor imparting that message of old,
For the ears and souls of his faithful, God-fearing fold.

When we’re found serving others we inspire gratitude,
but adversely, we may also, invite conflict to follow.
By dispensing words to another which are crude,
we’re shaping a bed in which someday we’ll wallow.
Concerned voices don’t dispense, words that sting,
nor a christian persist, in always throwing a curve.
But seeing doing the right thing as a form of worshiping
Jesus “didn’t come to be served, but to serve.” *
* Matthew 20:28
“Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”
At the Mount of Olives, in a garden called Gethsemane
Jesus asked His friends, “Please, will you all stay here and pray with me?”
It was after supper and He knew His time would quickly come
So, He prayed for strength to do the things that He knew should be done.
He looked at His friends and found that they had all fallen asleep
So, they did not see His sorrow and His pain ran very deep.
“Can you not keep watch,” He said, “And stay awake a little while?
Pray to God with all your heart that you’ll not undergo the trial.”
He cried to His Father, time and time and time again did speak.
“Willing is the Spirit but the flesh is oh so very weak.
Father, take this cup from me before I freely drink my fill.
But, Father, not as I want, I come to do Your holy will.”
Ministered by angels, who came round to offer strength to Him,
From His brow the blood did flow, and pain racked Him in every limb.
Finally, the soldiers came and all His friends just ran away.
And then, by His own disciple, with a kiss He was betrayed…

Ó stars conductor
thou who descended upon the world,
and hast saved us from affliction.
Ó Christ who subdued the pain
And thou ministered the cure ...
Thou who are the noblest
that came here by way
of the pure virgin ... that is
purer than gold ...
Thou who are immortal before
millennia ... we ask
in supplication for our
poor souls
And for those who do not believe
on thee...
To you we praise and affirm:
To follow you is all glory ...
Ó CHRISTE REDEMPTOR!
I will minister to my neighbor
I am the Lord’s instrument to minister to my neighbor
I will succor them that stand in need of my succor
Help me O Lord to serve my neighbor
I shall give love to those in need
I will show that love by word and deed
O Lord, I will love my brother
I will speak kind words to my brother
I will wipe away my neighbor’s tears
I will awake my neighbor to good cheers
I will cheer up the sad
And make him feel glad
Help me O Lord, to speak gentle words to the heart filled with anger
I will administer my substances to those in need
I will pray for those in need
I will seek the wandering sheep
Father, give me love that is deep
That I may rescue the wandered sheep
I am a Shepherd to the Lord’s flock
I will feed his flocks
I will be diligent to know the State of my flocks
And look well after my herd
I will extend my ministering to the dead
And bring blessing upon my head.
O Lord, I will minister as thou hast
Thou smiled at and forgave people
Thou talked with and listened to people
Thou walked with and made time for people
Thou encouraged and fed people
Thou taught and served people
Thou invited and reached out to people
Oh, thou art set example for me to follow
Thou want me to grow
I will allow thy love in me to glow
O Lord, keep my heart aglow
I will help thine kingdom to grow
I will help others to grow
O Lord let the Spirit of Elijah flow
Let the desire to seek for my ancestors grow
Let the desire to help them grow
O Lord, I will minister as thou hast ministered
I will minister with all my heart.
