Distracting?

 

Serving isn’t
a distraction

a worrisome thing
to do

but springs forth
from devotion

and My time
spent with you.

You establish my serving through devotion.

“But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, ‘Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.’ And Jesus answered and said to her, ‘Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things’ “. Luke 10:40,41 NKJV

My Help

 

praying everything
stays alive
until their return

Seeing a wilting cucumber plant from the kitchen window, we hurry outside to water it.

“You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay. Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; and let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified”. “. Psalm 70:4,5

I am your help
and your deliverer
I will
not delay

to make glad
those who seek Me
who magnify
Me today.

Abide In My Love

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My  love.”  John 15: 9 NKJV

The definition of abide is: 1.) to live; dwell , 2.) to endure ,  3.) to remain faithful to, 4.) to watch or wait for.

Thank You, Lord, for a love we can live in. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Where else
can I go , Lord?

Only You
have life

and a love
that sustains me

as in You
I abide.

God bless you as you live in His loe today!

Not Now

“Jesus answered and said to him, ‘What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this.’ ” John 13:9 NKJV

I hope to understand that I don’t always have to understand.

Thank You, Lord, for always knowing what You are doing.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Lord, I know
You love me

and always do
what’s best

so even though I
don’t understand now

I can trust You
and be blessed.

God bless you through the times you don’t understand what He is doing.

Ripe

“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”  Revelation 14:15 NKJV

Some harvests require a sharp sickle.

Thank You, Lord, for knowing exactly how and when to reap.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

When the harvest
is ready
and the earth
is ripe

His sickle
shall thrust in-
a great reaping
for Christ.

God bless you as you labor with Him today.
