PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO GIVES US
FREEDOM EVEN WHEN DETAINED BEFORE HIM
Praise be to God for giving us freedom
even when we are detained before Him:
Resting in His help
Reproved for our haughtiness
Redirected with heavenly hope
Restored toward humility’s honour
Renewed for healthy and happy helping
1Samuel 22:10 Praise be to the Lord Who gives us
answers as we enquire from Him for His:
Counsel that smites fear and fantasies
Charge that shuts falsities and follies
Commands that slay futility of fright
Correction that stops falsehood and fallacies
Courage that strengthens faith and faithfulness
1Samuel 23:21 Praise be to the Saviour Who
has compassion on us in:
Dealing with those who are secretly practicing mischief
Delivering up the needy from sin-oppression
Directing the believers to escape from Satan’s strongholds
Defending the weak brethren against false teachings
Dwelling with fellow Christians with His love
1Samuel 24:6 Praise be to the Almighty Who instructs us to
respect His anointed whom He has:
Chosen to be His servants by His grace
Called to be His soldiers for His glory
Cleansed to be His stewards by His guidance
Compelled to be settled upon His governance
Consecrated to be strong along His greatness. Amen!

"That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments." Psalms 78:7 of the King James Bible
Opportunities divine that made me grow
Blessed my faith by the Lord midst service-glow
Leading toward loving gratitude flow
Imparting joy for a victorious New Year cargo…
Vividly they vanquish every sorrow and woe
Instilling goodness of testimony-show
Optimistically, I bury them not in oblivion-blow
Now, my heart smites forgetfulness’ shadow.
Never will I surrender to oblivion-foe
Enabled by the Lord Who does bestow
Values as well as virtues of reaching-out bough
Empowering my spirit for kindness here below
Reverberating heaven's kindness with His truth I know.

Love divine, sovereign in directive
Smites lust, selfish midst carnal perspective…
Though both can be passionately active
True love along life-building objective
Unmasks lust that’s grievously "afflictive".
While love sublime works really effective
Reaching-out: restorative, curative…
Scheming lust is deceitfully protective
In the guise of care, vainly productive
For personal gain; oh, greedy motive.
Love can turn to lust when it’s destructive
Overwhelmed with own wants, so "exploitive"…
Flawed by human nature’s mark: defective
I beg for God’s great love* --- re-creative
To vanquish lust’s force, sweetly seductive.
*Romans 5:5…The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Juniper,* you are a blessed tree, endowed by God for all to see
Umbrella you were to Prophet Elijah when from distress he did flee...
Never denying your sheltering role, helping ecosystem to be whole
Indeed fulfilling goal, as haven for birds, even for tired soul...
Performing best, providing habitat for wildlife with protective zest
Evergreen that smites longevity's pest and stands firm midst test
Ready to grant rest under your foliage toward victory's crest.
*1 Kings 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.

To be immune from aspersions mean and vile
May assuage our hurt feelings for awhile
But to really uphold the Golden Rule
We must also withhold words harsh and cruel—by poet
In an upside-down world
Where self-victimization
is a realization and hatred lingers, it goes nowhere
May not yet get it, and still not self-aware
Now some may think that healing is
Ignoring what is destroying and go on enjoining
others near them to do the same, their end game
Using, medicating with words as ammunition stored on a shelf
Toxicity is there, taken aback, down deep in yourself
Hatred lingers, collecting dust mites
Imploding, suffocating smites and is on reserve
In a mindset where glory they deserve
Personal gut-wrenching bile packaged
Collecting more dust, disgust has an impact
It only makes you a stronger hellcat
One that hasn’t let go of the baggage
Is in an upside-down world of their own
On their own and may think they’re OK
Flies in the ointment, stagnant, a delay, decay
In a world where “making it better” ails, and means
Undoing what has taken lives in time in details
Only bequests, and is deeded
A new form of healing is much needed
Healing is embracing the newest challenges
There are bigger issues, bigger things
Then just you, heed the warnings
It begins within
“Civil war tested the proposition that America is one nation indivisible”—from the book “With Malice Toward None"— Stephen B. Oates
