July 29 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Isaiah 5-8
Key Verse – Isaiah 5:16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
HEART THAT EXALTS GOD
Our heart exalts God with His grace
Letting us see His goodness along His kindness’ rays
Amidst busy days wearying faith-walking pace…
Now, we honour Him, giving our praise of worshipful ways.
Our heart exalts God with His holiness
Letting us fear His wrath over our unrighteousness
Amidst vain compromises of worldly worthlessness…
Now, we hide in Him, repenting from our shameful sinfulness.
Our heart exalts God with His provision
Letting us enjoy His bounty full of satisfaction
Amidst grievous complaints along scarcity’s vexation…
Now, we trust Him, confessing our discontented reaction.
Our heart exalts God with His guidance
Letting us obey His direction toward truth-assurance
Amidst chaotic situations because of confusing allegiance…
Now, we follow Him, subduing our skeptical arrogance.
Our heart exalts God with His mercy
Letting us rely on His ready, available clemency
Amidst serious threats of guilt needing pardon’s sufficiency…
Now, we seek Him, overcoming our doubts and lack of persistency.
Our heart exalts God with His wisdom
Letting us regard His work in advancing His kingdom
Amidst foolish opinions causing intellectual boredom…
Now, we cling to Him, turning from our humanistic freedom.
Our heart exalts God with His covenant
Letting us appreciate His faithfulness, sovereignly dominant
Amidst carnal accomplishments making us in His service, stagnant…
Now, we abide in Him, casting our cares as an earthly tenant.

You sit and think of what could be
but not with any sense of glee.
The future looks all dull and dark
so, before long you lose life’s spark.
Soon stinking thinking starts to stress
and heavy feelings start to press.
Your mind becomes a muddled mess
and mental zest gets less and less.
You cannot sleep, you lie and weep
as self-pity over you sweep.
The mirror tells a terror tale
of pallid face and figure frail.
If this is you, then turn the tide,
Tis past the time to bide and hide.
Cry out for help, the silence end
seek out those who can help you mend.
The things you fear may never come
so, worrying is downright dumb.
It paralyzes, makes you numb,
it saps your strength and leaves you glum.
Your thoughts tremendous power hold
To scare you stiff or make you bold.
Don’t ever let your thoughts run wild,
but train them as a little child.
Don’t waste your watts with worrying
it drains and leaves you wearying.
Tend to thoughts that lift you up
and good outcomes will fill your cup.

Please remind me of Your love with Your redemption-granting.

against helpless fretting and worrying
Thank You for helping me overcome struggles of futile wearying
Surely counselling my mind from faith-swaying…
Please develop me toward Christlikeness while in You I’m staying.

against wrong choice of treading
Thank You for instilling in me Your precepts for gracious guiding
Surely enclosing my health with Your welfare-guarding…
Please settle me in partnership of stewardship’s upholding.

Children of the moment,
dust and vapor of time,
wearying their frame for passing filth.
in this land of the dying,
forgetting the endless eternity,
From the cry of the innocent,
to the paths of obscurity,
seeking routes through time,
The "haves"
the "havnots"
the longings and cravings for perishing things of clay,
Ambitions and dreams innumerable,
vigorous race and fascination for filthy lucre,
they run,
as though their frame were made of iron
and their sinews of brass,
forgetting the gates of death,
They acquire filth,
some call it gold,
they build,
they store, and die holding naught
Then come the endless eternity
The eternity of undying souls
Man! why slide unprepared?

_________________________________
At dawn of a place cocooned once in avarice
silver-haired savvy savor sweetness
serene symphony of silliness...
Each echo is adorned
in mirrors of moments whilom
Still, the illness remains a threat
Silhouettes shaped by streetlight gloom.
Luigi Mangione delivers an arcane calix
crestfallen at awe-in junction of cathartic pain,
mark of jeopardy, spirits who stumbled
amid intricate twists of a complex web
where wellness waltzs whimsically as demon
sibylline, errorless, and suave
flimsy fusion of flux and mellifluous maunder.
Let us linger in lurched odds of yeender,
covenant, of concept, and courtesy
firm freedom fetching fairness for all.
seeking serenity in the scripts of statutes.
Yet we wonder, wrapped in a
whirlwind of wearying red tape
frailty of fitness, a puzzling paradox
where reviews reverberate as an epiphany
as doctors and designs decide the merit
yesterday's valiant victors,
confront morrow's troubling disregard.
Oh, the convoluted challenges of continuing!
a clock clicks constantly in the foreground
each tick teases the transience of time
whilst systems swirl swiftly shift and shape
to the tempo of transition, a thrum of turmoil
In a society that shuns, or selects to shun,
figures featuring fervent faces, fates at stake.
We stand strong, side by side, in such a struggle
amid a wave of apathy and regulations
the price of wellness is presented plainly
a burden of broad-based break bears our back
yet, we discover dynamism in togetherness
a steadfast strength of souls have survived storms
in chuckles of cherished seniors, once more liberated.
As we ascend from the abyssal katabatic,
let us linger on the lessons learned
a frailty of life, a grace of guardianship
and let Luigi’s manifesto heard an odyssey
a clarion call for a fairer future
where the weak are warmly welcomed
and the whispers of a wretched world
weave a wondrous wave of wellness.
Over two-thirds of my lifetime
I have been climbing,
searching for an elusive peak,
Stretching for the pinnacle.
Would I ever attain?
Find freedom from the guilt
of not pleasing other people,
not meeting their expectations . . .
learn to just be me.
Just lately, I breathe pristine air
unadulterated by polluting opinions;
I sense, at last, the apex
where I am free,
living in a now moment,
savoring my place in it.
I see my years below
from where I stand victorious;
the wearying uphill strain
was worth what I have achieved.
I love you, but you do not own me.

Faye Lanham Gibson
This head is continually exercised,
The straining of the intellect,
The wearying of my limbs
The waves of thoughts rushing like a volcano.
The glimmering of my eyes,
The flights of imagination,
I vex the brain to unravel mysteries
I provoke my heart to go down into depths too deep
I speak to myself like a lunatic,
I rush to my desk repeating sustained thoughts.
Words are the tools.
Sometimes too heavy I dare not say,
I weave them together and cared less for criticism.
There are depths I cannot reach,
There are heights I cannot climb.
The mind is like an ocean too deep,
There are dark alleys,
There are beams and rays
Oh! this cavernous profundity.
January 9 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Genesis 25-27
Key Verse – Genesis 25:21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
FAITH IN GOD WHO IS INTREATED OF US
God is intreated of us in our days of adversity
Inside His goodness is where by faith, we dwell in His blessings’ bounty
Indeed, He brings us in His presence of serenity---
It fills our souls with contentment against feeling barren and empty.
God is intreated of us in our struggles
Inside His will is where by faith, we separate from sin-wiggles
Indeed, He delivers us from cunning worldliness-tangles---
It fires our spirits against fainting due to deceit-bugles.
God is intreated of us in our famine and nothingness
Inside His provision is where by faith, we stay with productiveness
Indeed, He charges us to obey His commands of purposiveness---
It finds our hearts satisfied in digging for genuine joyfulness.
God is intreated of us in our striving
Inside His might is where by faith, we abide for strength-receiving
Indeed, He builds us up while we submit to His divine carving---
It establishes our trust in His covenant to which we are cleaving.
God is intreated of us in our dimness of vision
Inside His light is where by faith, we behold His loving compassion
Indeed, He shines on us as we obey His voice for the great commission---
It brings our eyes to radiate with His truth’s infusion, conquering confusion.
God is intreated of us in our prayers’ fervency
Inside His wisdom is where by faith, we discern with urgency
Indeed, He answers us with His presence and mercy---
It moves our conviction to arise midst supplication-consistency.
God is intreated of us in our need-caused crying
Inside His protection is where by faith, we win over iniquities’ lying
Indeed, He sustains us from doubt, unbelief and anxiety’s sighing---
It breaks our yokes from vain and useless wearying. Amen!
