Premium Member Lord God, You Are My Sanctifier

February 28 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on Joshua 7-9

Key Verse – Joshua 7:13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you..

LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY SANCTIFIER
				
Lord God, You are my Sanctifier against accursed trespass and unholiness
Thank You for forgiving my confessed conscience-smiting filthiness
As I repent from neglecting Your warning for unrighteousness…
Deliver me from corruption-destructiveness.
 
Lord God, You are my Sanctifier against backsliding
Thank You for correcting my wayward environ-treading
As I learn from Your Word, gaining biblical understanding…
Drive me toward prayer altar-building.

Lord God, You are my Sanctifier against sin-spoilage
Thank You for purging my self-inflicted trouble-bondage
As I come to You for freedom-flight, surpassing temptation-frontage…
Draw me away from covetousness-rampage.

Lord God, You are my Sanctifier against pursuit for vanity
Thank You for hindering my ascent to secularism-liberty
As I avoid craving for materialistic security…
Direct me to Your will of spirituality by Your reigning authority.
 
Lord God, You are my Sanctifier against pride’s destruction
Thank You for guarding my heart from arrogance-caused isolation
As I participate in the fulfillment of Your great commission…
Deter me along paths of haughtiness’ curse-abomination.
 
Lord God, You are my Sanctifier against false religion’s insight
Thank You for admonishing me to conquer pull of humanistic flight
As I journey upward stewardship-servanthood height…
Deal with me according to Your counsel delight.
 
Lord God, You are my Sanctifier against murmuring’s grievance
Thank You for reminding my oath of vow-perseverance
As I overcome tendency to succumb toward troubles’ disturbance…
Discipline me from engaging in carnal encumbrance.

Premium Member Threading Hunger's Needle

Threading Hunger’s Needle
                                by Odin Roark

Acumen's voice smolders quietly
When deafened ears respond only
To discords of witlessness.

Perception's heat invites comfort,
Its embers remaining alive,
Its wake of constant resolve
Lifts vigils of swirling persuasion,
Choking away illiteracy,
Ignoring cross or sickle waved ominously.

Ever present, creation’s insight 
Remaining airborne in a void for those
With causeless breath being held,
Affecting not its surroundings,
Forever stale within ether locked,
Where roiling chasms of fear
Exude odiferous spoilage,
Rotting,
Polluting,
Repelling.

Such misery holds steady,
Amidst the multitudes’ repeated indulgences of flesh,
Where masses’ quintessential reptilian skin
long overdue for shedding
remain stagnant.

But cling it will,
This resistance to reflection and growth,
Feeling falsely safe in unknowing
The rewards of philological pondering,
Literature’s sign and verbal,
Touch and smell,
Eye and ear,
An all-sensitive motion
Making ready transference from literal
To one’s personal ethereal possession.

For some…

A chosen distance remains preferred.
A huddled observation from
Deep in the abyss of ignorance,
Convinced personal importance is to perish alone
Amidst a cacophony of unresolved noise.

Always close by, however…

Wisdom’s whisper continues to nurture hunger’s tenacity,
Knowing a needle unthreaded is of little use.

Premium Member What Trouble Tonight

what trouble tonight?
the spill and spoilage of tray
exposing eight tiles
in a scrabble player’s game
she’d gone for coffee…and cheat?

who knocked it over?
the mischievous persian cat
that darn cat…love him
…after late dinner she’s tired
eyebrows raised and laughter roars

one barely survives
“the cat?” you ask, “or player?”
persian spills onto the floor
embarrassment of t’other
you see, she was winning game…

would they have caught it
if she had put down the eight?
gave up one letter
after scrambling the rascals
but did not give up her points

she did not win though started fast out the gate - chin jut of opponent
