Isaiah 53

Who has believed what we have heard?
Whom has seen His powerful hand?
In Your presence Your servant matured
Like a tender root born from dry sand
 
He was despised and rejected
Man of sorrows acquainted with grief
We thought He deserved to be corrected
The scorn of all our unbelief
 
He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for all our sins
We thought this was retribution
The cost of proper discipline
 
All we like sheep have gone astray
We left God’s path to follow our own
So unto Him all our sins did lay
All of our wrongs He would atone
 
He was oppressed and afflicted
Yet never saying a word
Like a sheep about to be slaughtered
The punishment He would endure
 
Led astray unjustly condemned
He died without descendants
No one could ever claim deception
Yet He was treated like a nuisance
 
To overwhelm Him was God’s will
He was prepared as an offering
The LORD’s good plan He would fulfill
Risen to see His offspring
 
All He obtained by His anguish
He shall see and be satisfied
From Him have we been made righteous
So unto Him can we abide
 
With His very final breath
The wages of sin He did defy
Exposing himself unto death
Receiving honor and praise most high

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...
