A Late Seed's Growth

One day a seed was planted late
As if it was out of season
Its growth it would have to wait
Though others would’ve been done

The roots themselves had to go deep
Deeper then its neighbors
Maturity would not come cheap
Even if it wanted it quicker

Soon the seed starting budding
It sprouted and began to grow
Even though it was past spring
Anguish it would not show

It is finally happening
It will be full of timber
It will be accommodating
Helping others to have shelter

If you could hear the seed sing, you would hear:

"Despite it being painful
However I am grateful
For my life now and forevermore

"I will keep on moving
Continue persevering
Looking forward to what will be in store"

But soon there was a delay
It seemed like its growth just stopped
Why it happened it could not say
But it looked like it'll be chopped

It was not useful any more
Why bother continuing on?
No need to wait and become sure
It will better if it was gone

The seed was sad that it must die
It wanted to be complete
It didn't want to say good-bye
It couldn't admit defeat

It thought of fate and destiny
Then heard a voice say to it
"DO NOT WORRY WHAT YOU WILL BE 
JUST TRUST YOU'LL BE COMPLETED"

If you could hear the seed sing, you would hear:

"Despite it being painful
However I am grateful
For my life now and forevermore

"I will keep on moving
Continue persevering
Looking forward to what will be in store"

The seed did not understand
What it heard could not be true
It could not even comprehend
How the voice possibly knew

Instead of despair it chose to hope
It would not get negative
This is how it chose to cope
Choosing to be positive

Sometimes the seed would question
If hoping was all in vain
Its fears it would not openly mention
What could it possibly gain?

But soon it would cast it aside
Overcome its anxiety
In hope it chose to abide
Having faith it would be complete

If you could hear the seed sing, you would hear:

“Despite it being painful
However I am grateful
For my life now and forevermore

"I will keep on moving
Continue persevering
Looking forward to what will be in store"

The True Enemy

Inspired by Numbers 25 & Matthew Henry's commentary While the Israelites were camped at Acacia Grove To defile themselves the men willingly chose Seduced by Moabite women and their deities Making the Lord angry and release His fury Rapport with the wicked is more harmful than enmity It is our immoral desires that is the true enemy Giving into worldly interests and its pleasures Forgetting to put the Lord at our core and center Let us execute His vengeance in zeal and faith To remain in His good graces and holy estate So God may make a special covenant of peace And His divine favor upon us may increase God punishes the wicked not with a rod But with swords exposing their profane facade Punishing those who tempt others to fail While His righteousness will always prevail

More Than Conquerers

Inspired by Matthew Henry's  commentary  on Numbers chapter 21 Before our march to the Promised Land We may find ourselves in enemy's hands But let us look thoroughly to the Lord Our only way to keep moving forward So instead of Arad, we have Hormah As the enemy's sins are enormous God will bring about their destruction His love for His children brings protection But as we continue on our journey We can be impatient and be in a hurry Then complain about the Lord's provision Bringing about the Lord's derision The serpent comes back to bite at our heels Making our grievances his meal Our very lives does he greedily steal Making us look up so we can be healed Look up and see the serpent of bronze Do not fear death that corresponds The venom may stir up our sinful passions But only the Lord can bring salvation Do not forget and always remember When God blessed us with living water Our expectations should be tempered And only rely on His Grace and His Favor Wicked men tr...
