Premium Member Lord God, You Are My Battle Fighter

March 20 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on 1Samuel 25-28

Key Verse –1Samuel 25:28 … The LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.

LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY BATTLE FIGHTER
				
Lord God, You are my battle Fighter with Your goodness, always constant
Thank You for building up my prayer life as I stay repentant
Let me hearken to Your voice, never hesitant
So that I can arise from being submission-resistant.

Lord God, You are my battle Fighter with Your comfort, always great
Thank You for beautifying my soul along paths of virtues, righteously straight
Let me abide in Your prosperity’s peace-state
So that I can find favour in Your loving trait.

Lord God, You are my battle Fighter with Your victory, always precious
Thank You for brightening my days with Your deeds so gracious
Let me pitch round about Your plan, not feeling anxious
So that I can smite carnality attacks that are fatally vicious.

Lord God, You are my battle Fighter with Your cheer, always encouraging
Thank You for blessing my faith to be worthy of divine pursuit’s plunging
Let me accept Your admonition for my character-upsurging
So that I can prevail by Your sanctification’s purging.

Lord God, You are my battle Fighter with Your heart, always kind
Thank You for bringing my best to Your grace-perfection in mind
Let me dwell in Your will where Your favour I can find
So that I can labour as the servant You’ve faithfully assigned.

Lord God, You are my battle Fighter with Your warfare, always powerful
Thank You for blowing my failures with Your peace, constantly blissful
Let me ascend toward Your wisdom’s perception, prudently helpful
So that I can combat distress that makes me fearful.

Lord God, You are my battle Fighter with Your might, always formidable
Thank You for burying my losses with Your strength so steadfastly capable
Let me obey Your Word since You make it understandable
So that I can serve You well, being spiritually stable.

Sanga Banga

Who is the greatest from the land of the other hand…

The pure top draw..southpaw....

Lara or Spice Isle style.. guile and 

Wiles of Kumar Sangakarra..


Who wouldn’t hanker in their seats 

Various vicarious treats..Sri Lanka’s number one ranker..

Fancy dan talisman.. Tamil Totem of elan..

Run spanker & banker.


His unctuous umami like a sumptuous curry 

Even at the end…flurry of runs in a hurry for Surrey…

Hands so soft….held aloft…the head so still…combined with 

Unique refined technique echoes the past…remembers

Classical embers of the text and record book cast..


Plays the ball so God damn late…almost tardy…

Trait of a hardy..true first rate great…

Another Sanga banga..all thriller not a scintilla of filler..

Larrups another clanger…elegant and decadent..

Like having a Concorde in your hangar..  

Redolent of a sublime almost forgotten time.. 


His timber timbre.. the sweetest rhyme…

Record heaper…acid jazz pizzazz..flair run reaper..

Smooth..rare groove sweeper.. 

Well honed treacle toned soul

Top notch keeper..& to be fair

A lovely mop of hair..


One of the gilded golden generation of glittering constellation sensations..  

As a lefty…no fibs…his nibs might get first dibs

Superfly guy playing or…sashaying to his own homegrown celestial sky high…

54th Birthday 4 Shari Todd Harris

from birth until this moment with your family as supporting team
the journey within your space/ time continuum stream
found trials and tribulations comprising the spool o yar existential ream

some incidents assessed in retrospect might now appear
as particularly significant undertakings – getting you grounded with clear
insight into what future dreams may become manifest with yar dear
beloved husband – I aver to when ye will endure empty nest fair
lee soon, whereby yar life will constitute andy and his anatomical gear

whose cupidity, fidelity, integrity, levity, opportunity, runneth tranquil
tiding up for gatherings or packing with his efficient globe trotting skill
bubbling with energy, harmony, synergy through his  confluence he rill
lee doth possess – in my humble opinion, though less to take quill

to paper, him this brother in law applauds how he accepted any bitter pill
i.e. figuratively when the fickle finger of fate seemed to obscenely mill
a tate a contrary outcome than he desire, a fighting esprit de corps did fill
his entire being – putting forces of destruction re: no longer threat of evil

which waywardness with this poetic intent to type a birthday cheer
sans thy lovely sister activated thoughts pertaining to positive people dear
as senescence shuttles thine youngest harris heiress who everywhere
she goes affects a blessedly diplomatic, friendly holistic imprimatur
and thus tis probably apropos to attempt to communicate with mere

crude symbols i.e. the 26 letters of the alphabet to formulate the near
wrist approximating her significance in me xy z lived life  a prayer
and many a broken wing, but tis necessary 4 me 2 expunge – though rear
the positive presence (most often invisible) whence shari did tear
out from the birth canal even at that early infantile stage did wear

autonomy to evince can do spirit whereby she irresistibly insinuated an air
that inexplicably captivated family, friends, romans….with no blare
ring burst, but she exhibited a magnetic trait – I now heartily cheer
cuz many stepping stones to mine current ah fair
rooted tuber remembered per the unsolicited advice aye did hear
when oft times shuttered in this man cave, hell lair
re: us lee chuckling at online jokes, which laugh tier

Premium Member Moonstruck Josette

Moonstruck Josette
There's a sad tale told of moonstruck Josette
Who's love turned into ashes of regret 
She found romance when only sweet sixteen 
With the most handsome man she'd ever seen.

Though he treated her unkindly at times
Josette overlooked those menacing signs
She adored him despite his cruel trait
Then came the day he decided her fate.

He took her to a wood where no one goes
Josette felt he was well nigh to propose 
He said to close her eyes and count to ten
Poor Josette never opened them again.

Down in the woods lies a silent Josette
Her demise so tragic one can't forget.

Premium Member The Golden Rule

A phrase we’re all familiar with
                                 I write about today
In slightly different context
                     my words come out to play

For in my house there dwells a pup
                      who bears a fleece of gold 
A tongue of pink for kisses
                          a paw he’ll let you hold

Retriever is his trait by name
                         He never gets the blues
He’s much too busy chasing balls 
                   and hiding grandma’s shoes

His eyes so brown and gaze so deep
                   could melt the coldest heart
The fluffiest companion
                          and oh, did I say smart

Yet I digress, back to that phrase
                        I’ll take you all to school
For in my house, treats on demand
                       That is “The Golden Rule”



For
Monte, My beautiful Golden Retriever

Premium Member Work Sets You Free

No words describe, 
sufferings worse than hell,
Goes beyond pure evil, 
even a story cannot tell,
We’ve all seen pictures, 
making grotesque sense,
But only the stench, 
reflects this actual offense. 

Cruelty surpasses cruelty, 
overtaken by hate,
Unique to humanity, 
not a wild animals trait,
Only intelligent creatures,
contrive such events,
Still, the stench belies, 
this ideological offense. 

Infectious propaganda,
turns a (master race) blind,
The urge for slaughter,
becomes industrially refined,
Ever lower they sink, 
pleasure’s more intense,
Til’ the stench alone screams,
a sadistic offense. 

NAZI’S (the final solution). 
for scapegoats of the war,
All innocent victims, 
Fanatical Holocaust,
Left to rot and stink, 
bodies piled so immense,
Until the stench itself,
reeks a nations offense. 

Countless Men, Women,
and Children, loaded like beasts,
Crammed into cattle cars,
one way ticket east,
Some succumbed and died,
via, a ghost train’s torment,
At least spared the stench, 
and last phase of offense,

Seventy five years on, 
since world became aware,
Even now some deny, 
moreover, could not care,
Gas chamber’s, crematoria, 
behind an electric fence,
Stench will never allow,
amnesia of this offense. 

Cryptic sign, above the gates,
reads! (Arbeit Macht Frei) work sets you free!
First take a shower, 
later some cake and tea,
No water in the pipes, 
but, pellets of Zyclone B,
Soon sickly ash rises, 
set free, up a working chimney,

       SS guards standing outside,
       mocking, enjoying a smoke,
“Smell even worse, when they burn,”
      (laughing at their own joke). 
   “Look at the next group praying”
       (again laugh, into their face)
           “We’re the chosen ones,
        The gods who run this place.”


There’s Categorically no defense,
Slaughtering millions without relent,
The stench tries, The stench proves,
The stench condemns, this offense. 

By 
David Kavanagh.

“Only by evidence of truth,
 Can we accuse and adduce.”

Premium Member Leverage

It's easy to set the goal, and even put the process in motion, but continuing to push forward through struggles and frustration can require a shove to help draw out that emotional leverage.   ~ Leigh Wilson

Emotional happiness is a goal everyone would like to reach
but attaining that destination is not something anyone can teach.
The use of leverage is a viable solution to ignite the flames of fire,
ones to use as sparks to light the way to have the life we desire
There are several emotional concepts that I label after reflection
that can motivate us and others to live life without objection

Pride is usually thought of as a trait for which we shouldn't strive
but it can also prove to be a useful tool that can keep hope alive
for it can take a look at goals that were achieved or things done right.
A point worth making; it opens a window giving slivers of foresight

Joy is an emotion everyone feels when a goal is accomplished
Any lever can be used to amplify an advantage that can be wished
Something as simple as talking with others can make joy a reality
It's a resource to change a behavior or attitude; not a hyperbole

Hope allows us to have expectations of a life that we find fulfilling
But life often pushes back with frustrations that could use distilling
That's when we pivot, as a lever to make struggles less intimidating
By facing problems head on, seeking solutions, instead of placating

The fear factor dwells inside everyone when feeling uncertainty
or an immediate threat, but it can be levered with a bit of diversity,
a change in some areas of our lives where we experience less stress
The more advantages we can obtain, we'll feel threats much less

Anger is perhaps the biggest obstacle to having emotional well-being
but used as a leverage, it can be used as a key that allows the freeing
from threats that we experience, disrupting our sense of independency,
enabling us to feel self-compassion and toward others with clemency

Then there is the prospect of shame, used to encourage and persuade
ourselves and others to avoid an action or a decision, wrongly made
when we, or others might find out about a socially undesirable action. 
Leveraging devices give gentle shoves that lead to emotional satisfaction.

Premium Member Hillary Clinton

Hillary Rodham Clinton of Chicago,
the former charismatic first lady of USA,
a good orator and a fine communicator I’d say,
confidence drips on her ever smiling face aglow.

In the turbulent times of her life in ninety eight
she was an emblem of cool composed maturity.
Despite the fragility she upheld the family integrity,
and carved a place in the contours of dignified trait. 

As a breaker of the invisible ceiling she is a pioneer,
because women’s causes are so much dear to her heart.
Worldwide girl child education drive she made to start, 
deeply spiritual, for all human values she is a warrier.

Many capacities gave her administrative discernment,
despite whatever happened in twenty sixteen
the American hearts she surely deserves to win.
They may get someday in her the first woman president.

Surrender

The ability to see right from wrong has become a long faded trait
So neither do we thirst or long as it's ourselves we try to placate
Anyone can justify anything turning around in calling wrong right
But they just forgot one thing that it's God's Law that they fight

They didn't forget about His Word they just choose not to follow it  
Going upon things that they had heard and never willing to admit
Instead they decided to make up new laws tossing His Laws aside
Just as satan tried deleting one clause and all because of his pride

I've done it before myself and I still do it for none of us are perfect
Looking at your spiritual health and how it's suffered from neglect
Only the Truth will survive for this time the Lord is coming to judge
Perhaps spiritually dead though alive with no plans to ever budge

You will not change out of fear for you can only change out of love
Changing when the Lord is near in starting to see things from above 
Where can you get this ability in so being draw near to what is right
The ability to clearly see comes when in Him you surrender this fight

James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. 
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:10 - Humble yourselves in the sight of 
the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Proverbs 23:26 - My son, give me thine heart, 
and let thine eyes observe my ways.

Psalms 33: For the word of the LORD is right; 
and all his works are done in truth.

Premium Member The Greatest Trait

Among the virtues, one stands tall,
God exalts it above them all.
Those who profess to walk with God,
But lacks this trait, He deems a fraud.

When Christ upon a cross was hung,
heaven’s love song to man was sung.
God shared His heart; He made it bare,
revealed to us how much He cares.

Patience, perseverance, and hope,
when facing stress they help us cope.
Wisdom, fortitude, and courage
are valued traits in every age.

Humility, prudence, and faith
are traits that made the sages great. 
Generosity and kindness
are traits of those who have God’s mind.

Compassion, respect, and justice
are worthy traits that foster trust.
Both temperance and self-control
are worthwhile traits to set as goals.

Assertiveness and diligence
are traits of those who high-posts fill.
Forgiveness is a trait of those
who truly God's forgiveness knows.

Both modesty and chastity
are traits that today seem passé,
yet, none among the noble traits,  
the passage of time will outdate.

“God is love”, the Bible says,
and those who love, God homage pays.
So, Paul was right when he did state,
of the traits, “love is the greatest”
