Condemned forever I was to wallow in hell’s despair
As filthy transgressor beyond reasonable doubt
Yet, with His grace, mercy and truth*, midst grave verdict’s stare
The Saviour in His love assuaged my eternal grief.
So blinded by pride, paralyzed from selfishness’ bout…
Oh, in sin’s deep miry clay I had sunk unaware
I thank the Lord, He reached down to me with pardon’s clout.
By faith, I now ascend for fruitful service welfare
Helping, cheering others turn toward heavenly route...
Assuring that though I face trials bringing heart’s scare
The Saviour in His love assuaged my eternal grief.
*Psalm 86:15 "But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth."

Conscious of well-being status and fame
Mr. Muscle prays, “Give me steadfast frame…”
yet panicky is his mind
midst words he’s trying to find...
"Lord, forgive my over confident claim."
Anxiously waiting for good news’ delight
he's blissful with confirmation of flight
"Praise God,* poor is not my health
affirming physical wealth
freeing me against nervous lockdown blight.”
Cheerfully, he testifies of great gain
by losing much weight that causes heart strain…
“I’m joyous winner indeed
with triumphant loser’s creed
toward nutritious diet-intake reign.”
*Psalm 86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Spring is not all blooms midst attacks of blight
Smiting hope-filled buds as pests strive to reign
My garden loves the Season’s festive sight
May it be spared against bacterial pain.
Spring welcomes birth, but why the threat of dearth
Struggling with rust and leaf spots not to trust
My heart longs for plenteous harvest mirth
Much yield to behold fruitfulness from dust.
Spring invites hope, yet health status is at stake
Shaking pollens toward allergy rise
My immune system knows what it does take
Might as well maximize weather-surprise.
Spring with glowing zest presents downside crest
My blest outlook for it settles the rest.

Key Verse – Ezekiel 34:11-12 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

March 1 Scripture Meditations Based on 1Samuel 21-24
Key Verse – 1Samuel 21:2 … The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR ENGAGING ME IN YOUR BUSINESS
Thank You for engaging me in Your business that’s perfect
Ever infallible, worthy of my respect as I prayerfully introspect
Never erroneous because You are the Source of omniscient intellect
Even though I fail to go where my feet You direct.
Thank You for engaging me in Your business that’s holy
Ever righteous, constraining my soul for true worship sincerely
Never sin-afflicted as it seeks workers who are willing eagerly
Even though I fall short miserably in pleasing You by faith fervently.
Thank You for engaging me in Your business that’s important
Ever vital, urging my commitment to fulfill vowed covenant
Never irrelevant with regard to eternal aim which is significant
Even though I miss Your blessings caused by my vanity, worldly dominant.
Thank You for engaging me in Your business that’s profitable
Ever useful, inspiring my spirit in divine tasks’ timetable
Never burdensome since it is graciously bearable
Even though I complain about Your commands of which I’m incapable.
Thank You for engaging me in Your business that’s goodness-filled
Ever satisfying, gladdening my heart to be joyously thrilled
Never intimidating in subjugating arrogance that’s self-willed
Even though I find myself against Your plan, discontentedly-grilled.
Thank You for engaging me in Your business that’s rewarding
Ever fruitful, increasing my diligence toward plenteous abounding
Never lacking, strengthening my trust upon Your Word with understanding
Even though I struggle in defending Your kingdom whenever I’m backsliding.

God’s mercy* brought to us our spiritual freedom
Acquitting us by His sacrificial ransom
Against our iniquities’ entangling stardom
Ushering us to His everlasting kingdom.
With God’s mercy is sure heavenly fulfillment!
Satisfying us with His blessed contentment
Subduing earthliness’ vanity-enrichment.
Granting inheritance of priceless settlement.
God’s mercy is at work in our joyful worship
As the Father meets us within His fellowship
When we draw nigh to Him in prayer-partnership
Being invited to His throne-of-grace friendship.
Along God’s mercy is His wondrous victory
Honouring Him while exalting His name’s glory
Prevailing over sins’ afflicting misery
Triumphant in declaring Gospel’s love story.
*Psalm 86:15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

Tonight, my soul, be still and sleep;
The storms are raging on God’s deep—
God’s deep, not yours; be still and sleep.
Charles H. Spurgeon
(Streams in the Desert)
DAY OF DELIVERABLES
italian sausage with banana
peppers in a sesame seed bun.
earlier donuts,
as J Christopher’s served
plenteous tables, needing
to be bussed — no sense
fussing over customers,
waiting on me and him.
you would have given us
the day having not enough
hands to deliver the stuff.
life is rough, post-pandemic.
we will stir our coffee again
in your establishment, reputable,
but for now our brunch grab
is a half-dozen, craved, cream-
filled, and fried, chocolate covered
and glazed. my eyes. i scramble us
up some cheesy-eggs so we don’t
just fall asleep as the world calls
to memory our dead - quite likely
the reason we live. books leak
into my eyes, lips, ears — gears
turning with a one day panacea
of someone else’s lives. the other
hand free to stress over the internet
that doesn’t allow for catch up
of files. day spent riled, filled,
and not alone nor in stacks. stack
that all up to life on earth. angels
watch my ups and downs.
that is my teeth crunching, gritting,
sounding out words from Coopers’
Muskrat Castle on Glimmerglass,
and a couple chapters of Sawyer’s
Sinking Sand, with a hopeful side
of Cowman’s May 31st reading.
flipping pages, not pancakes,
nor my wig — ruminating about
many things: my mother…

Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman
Beset with uncertainties of the future
hurling “what-ifs” intensifying gloomy woes…
…tortured minds grieve in affliction’s turmoil
fearing tomorrow’s insecurity-despair
longing to be shielded
inside God’s fortress of truth's assurance
against invading skepticism and doubt.
Besieged by enigmas of life’s realities…
…apprehended souls struggle, confronted wearily
against survival crises while seeking for assuaging answers
to combat fears and miseries’ distress
seeking to be enclosed around Christ’s care
away from sham's projection, hypocrisy-roofed
pegged upon deceits’ stakes.
Beseeching the Sovereign Lord
Who welcomes everyone with bliss
in His fellowship’s haven…
…we who trust Him are offered ready refuge
upholding our faith toward faithful stewardship
as we, by His assured protection, conquer desolation’s attacks
lurking under the shade of agonizing solitude.
Blessed to reach-out
with the spirit of servanthood...
…we who are graciously pardoned by the mercy* of the Saviour
verily acquitted from sin-condemnation’s verdict
likewise grateful that He draws us nigh His heart
can now reach out to the needy, thirsty for His jubilant compassion
and help them be extricated from pale shelter of apathy fetters.
*Psalm 86:5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Jesus Christ is "In God"and that is a given fact in order for "Jesus Christ to be "The Lord God Almight's "Only Begotten son"! We sometimes go "Astray don't we!

Forget not all of his "Benefits:Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things;so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's .The Lord executeth righteousness and judgement for all that are oppressed. He made known his ways unto Moses,his acts unto the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious,slow to anger,and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger forever. He hath not delth with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.For as the heaven is higher above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west ,so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children ,so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.For he knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust!As for man his days are as grass: as a flower of the field,so he flourisheth. I don't feel no ways tired even though we will be a "Corps in the grave!
