Zealous

 

You are zealous
for Jerusalem

comforting her
again

showing her
great mercy

building Your house
within.

**********

I am zealous for Jerusalem, for You are with me.

**********

“I am zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great zeal.”

” ‘I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘and a surveyer’s line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.’ “

“My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; the LORD will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem.”

Everlasting Consolation

 

Stand fast and
hold onto

the gospel that
you’ve heard

knowing you are
loved and given

comfort and hope for
every good work.

**********

You are with me and give me everlasting consolation and good hope.

“Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.”

“Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace,”

“comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.”

Good Comfort

 

We will be of
good comfort

we will be of
one mind

living in peace
becoming complete

by the grace of
Jesus Christ.

**********

You are with me and complete me.

**********

“Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.”

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.”

Wilderness Of Comfort

 

I shall take from your mouth
names from the past

you shall remember them
no more

bringing you into
the wilderness for comfort

giving you hope’s song
as a door.

**********

You are with me in the wilderness to comfort me and give me hope.

*********

“Therefore, behold, I will allure her,
Will bring her into the wilderness,
And speak comfort to her.”

“I will give her her vineyards from there,
And the Valley of A’chor as a door of hope;
She shall sing there,
As in the days of her youth . . .”

“For I will take from her mouth the names of the Ba’als,
And they shall be remembered by their name no more.”

Hosea 2:14,15,17. NKJV

(My “word” for this coming year is “God with me”.  I started a day early!  🙂 )

Nothing Without Cause

 

In time
you will know

I’ve done nothing
without reason

and I will send
you comfort

throughout the trials
and the seasons.

You establish Your cause.

“And they will comfort you, when you see their ways and their doings, and you shall know that I have done nothing without cause that I have done in it ‘ says the Lord GOD. “. Ezekiel 14:23 NKJV

How It Will Be

 

See how I told you
what would happen
how I would suffer
how it would be

so don’t be afraid
of what you see now
for I will comfort
you with Me.

You establish what will happen.

“When they were gathered together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, ‘The Son of Man is going to be betrayed and handed over to men; [who are His enemies] and they will kill Him and He will be raised [from death to life] on the third day.’ And they were deeply grieved and distressed.” Matthew 17:22,23 AMP

Everlasting Joy

I will heal
your broken heart

comforting you
as you mourn

giving you joy
everlasting

garments of praise
to adorn.

You establish my everlasting joy.

“He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted . . .to comfort all who mourn, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Everlasting joy shall be theirs.” Isaiah 61:1,2,3,7 NKJV

Drawing Water

 

I am your joy
your comfort
your strength
and your song

the salvation
you draw from
all
the day long.

Jesus establishes my salvation.

“O LORD , I will praise you; though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away , and You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; for YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.”
“Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.” Isaiah 12:1,2,3 NKJV

Revive

Thankful for the neighbor hired to help.

“You who have shown me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again. You shall increase my greatness and comfort me on every side. I will go in the strength of the Lord God.” Psalm 71:16,20, 21. NKJV.

 

I will revive you
again and again
and comfort you
on every side

And when your strength
fails you
My strength I will
provide.

There is a comfort in drawing near.
