Most High

 

 

I know about
their counsel
and the plans
they make

but I am
the Lord Most High
and nothing is
so great.

A laid down life has a great God.

“For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; they have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. Yes, let them be put to shame . . .that men may know that You , whose name alone is the Lord , are the Most High over all the earth.” Psalm 83:2,3,17-18 NKJV

I Can Smile

“I smile at my enemies
because I rejoice in Your salvation.” 1 Samuel 2:1

It was good to see our youngest daughter smile again after a recent time of seizures.

Lord, we desire to walk, talk, pray and sing like the saved. And here’s a simple poem . . .

All Bow Down

When the enemy attacks
I can forget who I am
one of the saved, the redeemed
blood bought by Him.

Thanks for reminding me
I’m more than a conqueror in You
and though the enemy stomps around
he must bow down too.

God Walking

“For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that He may see no unclean thing among you, and turn away from you.” Deuteronomy 23:14

God walks among His people Israel because He wants to. He wants to be with them. He loves them.

Jesus, thank You for walking among us, living within us . . .for wanting to do that, for loving us that much. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Amidst Us

God looks at us
and sees You

making us holy
through and through

delivering us
from the control of sin

defeating the enemy
again and again.

On The Verge

“And he shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies; do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified of them’.” Deuteronomy 20:3

The people of Israel HAD to enter into battle. So do we.

Oh Lord, we desire to see and enter onto the spiritual battlefield before us each day. And here is a simple poem . . .

The Good Fight

I’m on the verge of battle
but not even aware
so the enemy keeps taking
everything that’s there.

But You have given me a weapon
it’s powerful and called prayer –
time to awake and be a warrior,
to truly fight if indeed I care.

Made Better

“That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for before that they had been at enmity with each other.” Luke 23:12

These two enemies becoming friends after seeing Jesus has me thinking that every single person who encounters Him, even in a small way, is made better.

Oh Jesus, may we let You brush up against someone through us today. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Encounters of the Jesus Kind

Brush up against Him
and you won’t be the same

take a little look
and be forever changed

full out believe Him
and be torn apart

as He rents the veil from your eyes
and plunges truth into your heart.
