Jubilee

Inspired by Leviticus 25-27

On the seventh day God rested
It was a holy day so God blessed it
Then the seventh year was a year of Sabbath
This was to be observed in the land we inhabit

We are to work hard every year
This is to demonstrate our holy fear
To carnal minds we may seem absurdly
But the path of duty is the path of safety

The Joy of the Lord is our strength
It adds to all our holy depth
For we cannot grasp the breadth and length
Of God's love for us that is so complex

For He provides every perfect gift
As long as wickedness we do resist
For He is our God and we are His people
If we don't obey Him there'll be upheaval

Immorality will make us miserable
Making us angry and quite irritable
So don't hold on to your iniquity
But be blessed by God's ubiquity

Let us spare ourselves from His fury
And may all we own be for His glory
Let us devote ourselves to our God
Holding Him up in righteous regard

For He frees us from all our slavery
That kept us chained to our depravity
No more being held in contempt
For He has freed us from all our debt

So may all our sins be confessed
As we no longer are oppressed
It is in Him that we are blessed
So be still in Him and find your rest

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...
