Joseph

Jacob loved Joseph more than his other sons 
So Joseph’s brothers thought of him as a villain 
Hating Joseph’s gifted robe so beautiful
And thinking his dreams unacceptable  

Just as Jacob used goats to deceive Isaac 
A goat was used to have Jacob tricked  
But Joseph was sold for twenty pieces of silver 
Eventually to Egypt was he delivered 

Joseph became a slave to Potiphar 
Who was the captain of Pharaoh’s guards
The Lord was with Joseph so he succeeded 
But seduced by the wife, Joseph resisted

Potiphar’s wife lied about Joseph’s intent
So into prison was Joseph sent
Having the ability to interpret dreams 
Joseph had a way to be redeemed  

Interpreting the dreams of Pharaoh’s prisoners 
Joseph proved that he was God’s listener
The cup-bearer later remembered Joseph’s ability 
So Joseph could be brought out of captivity 

Joseph interpreted what God would be doing  
Advising the pharaoh food should be accruing 
Then Joseph was appointed second-in-command 
Only behind pharaoh did he rule over the land 

As Joseph prophesied there was a severe famine 
His brothers then came from the land of Canaan 
Bowing low to him just like he dreamed
Joseph’s life came full circle to be redeemed 

No matter what difficulties you are facing 
The Lord’s grace you should be embracing 
Because the Lord always loves and sees you 
There is always a way He can redeem you

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...
