More Poems to come!
Comfort My People, says our God
Feed My flock like a shepherd
Gently lead those that have young
Let My people renew their strength
They shall walk and not faint
They shall run and not be weary
They shall soar on wings as eagles!
Isaiah 40:1, 11 and 31
Jehovah will fight for me,
And I will hold my peace.
“I form the Light, I create the darkness.
I make peace and I destroy evil.
I, Jehovah do all these things.”
Jehovah will fight for me,
And I will hold my peace.
“I give you peace in the land.
You will lie down in peace,
No one will make you afraid.”
Jehovah will fight for me,
And I will hold my peace.
I will lie down in peace and sleep,
For You only, O Lord, keep me safe.
You will keep me in peace.
Jehovah will fight for me,
And I will hold my peace.
Isaiah 45
As a rabbit runs in fear of the chase,
So my mind darts
Be still and know I am God.
As a moth drawn to an open flame,
So my mind flutters
Be still and know I am God.
As a sheep ever in quest for greener pastures,
So my heart seeks
Be still and know I am God.
As a dear pants for the cool waters,
So my heart longs
Be still and know I am God.
As on the wings of an eagle high above,
So my heart soars!
Be still and know I am God.
A story came to me by way
Of the internet told by a
Missionary in a far-off land
About a ten-year-old girl
And her faith in God.
A little baby was born
Just as its mother went Home.
It was too soon, still she had to go.
The little tyke was not all alone.
There was a sister of two.
So close to the equator
Hot days, but nights, oh so cold!
Only one hot water bottle left,
But oh so old! In filling it burst.
There was naught to do but pray.
A smart little girl of ten
Whose parents had gone Home, too
Spoke out as only a child could do:
“God, send us a hot water bottle,
And, oh please, send it today.
“It’ll be no good tomorrow,
God, as Baby will be dead.
So send it today. And, God, while
You’re at it, send a dolly for Sis
So she knows You love her, too!”
Oh, for the faith of little Ten!
Only a miracle would do!
So far from cities and towns and all.
She asks for a bottle and a doll?
Oh Lord, for the faith of little Ten!
Five moths ago, in a room
Half way ‘round this world of ours,
With loving care and pride, sweaters for
The orphans and bandages for the
Lepers, little children placed inside.
Just before the box was sealed a
Lady slipped something inside.
“God just told me to, I don’t know why.”
A little girl, so sweet and shy
With tears in her eyes,
Lifted her favorite dolly and said:
“May I put her in there. Too?”
So on baby’s first noon
A car stopped before our house
And a package was place on our steps.
With excitement and trembling fingers
Strings were carefully untied.
The paper folded so neat
And saved for another day.
The box yielded sweaters – all sizes!
Bandages and a box of mixed fruit.
And, Glory be! A hot water bottle!
Had I truly believed?
“It there’s a bottle,” cried little Ten,
“there has to be a dolly, too!”
And there it was, placed by a little
Girl so far away.
With reverent hands Ten picked
Her up, hugged to her chest
And whispered, “May I take her to Sis
To show her how much Jesus loves her?”
Oh, for the faith of Ten!
“Before they call, I will answer.” Isaiah 65:24
