Return to God

Inspired by Zechariah, chapter 1

This is what the One True Living God says
"RETURN TO ME AND I WILL RETURN TO YOU
DON'T BE LIKE PRIOR GENERATIONS
IGNORING EVIL PRACTICES ACCRUED

"SELF-INDULGENCE AND CONDENSCENSION
THUS IGNORING MY PROCLAMATION
ASSURING THEIR OWN SELF-DESTRUCTION
CAUSING ME TO BRING REDEMPTION"


In a vision during the night
There was a man sitting on a red horse
Standing among some myrtle trees
Behind him stood other riding forces

The first red horse represented man
The second red horse stood for atonement
The brown horse represented the world
The white horse stood for enthronement

They were sent by God to patrol the earth
Reporting back that it was at peace
Then a cry went out for God's people
For mercy and His wrath to be appeased

God responded back in kindness
"MY LOVE FOR MY PEOPLE IS VERY STRONG
BUT ANGRY WITH OTHERS IN THEIR COMFORT
THEIR SECURITY WILL NOT LAST FOR LONG”

Then looking up there were four animal horns
Representing the torment against God's nation
Then four craftsmen prepared to overwhelm
Representing the tormenters' retribution

"I WILL RETURN TO THE CITY OF MY PEOPLE
BESTOWING UPON THEM MY ETERNAL GRACE
MY PEOPLE SHALL PROSPER AGAIN
THEY SHALL BE MY RESTING PLACE"

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...
