Think It Over

 

Consider your ways
reflect on your conduct

where your time and
energy’s spent

then listen to Me
for I will be with you

making sure your efforts
are blessed.

**********

You are with me so I desire what You desire.

” ‘Think it over,’ says the Lord of Hosts. ‘Consider how you have acted, and what has happened as a result!’ “

“You hope for much but get so little. And when you bring it home, I blow it away – it doesn’t last at all. Why? Because My temple lies in ruins and you don’t care. Your only concern is your own fine homes.”

“Then Zerubbabel (son of She-alti-el), the governor of Judah, and Joshua (son of Jisedech), the High Priest, and the few people remaining in the land obeyed Haggai’s message from the Lord their God; they began to worship Him in earnest.”

“Then the Lord told them (again sending the message through Haggai, His messenger), ‘I am with you, I will bless you.’ “

“And the Lord gave them a desire to rebuild His Temple . . .”

The Least Of These

 

As you have done
for the least of these
so you have done
to Me

and you will inherit
the kingdom
I’ve prepared for you
faithfully.

You establish my care of others.

“Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Assuredly I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” Matthew 25:34,40 NKJV

Soul Care

 

I am your portion
and refuge forever
though you’ve been brought low
I will care for your soul

delivering you out from
unjust persecution
surrounding you with gladness
My bounty will flow.

A laid down life has a cared for soul.

“I declare before Him my trouble. For there is no one who acknowledges me; refuge has failed me; no one cares for my soul. I cried out to You, O LORD; I said, ‘You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.’ Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low; deliver me from my persecutors. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise Your name; the righteous shall surround me, for You shall deal bountifully with me.” Psalm 142:2,4,5,6,7. NKJV
