Complaining to God

Inspired by Numbers chapters 11 & 12

How soon we can forget 
About His holy provision and grace 
As hardships make us upset
Causing us fatal mistakes 

We can crave the finer things 
Of fancy stuff and luxuries 
But we should yearn for higher things
And savor His discoveries 

Remember when He provided manna
And fed the poor and hungry
We should praise and cry “Hosanna!”
And bow before Him humbly 

He saved us from our captivity 
Yet we complain about our misery 
That the load we bear is heavy 
And we’re better off if buried 

Then the Lord says “GATHER ME SEVENTY
THEY MUST HAVE A STRONG IDENTITY 
THEY MUST LOVE OTHERS SINCERELY 
I’LL BESTOW THEM MY SPIRIT FREELY”

Always remember humility 
Free from pride’s liability 
God speaks through dreams and visions 
Not through arrogant religions 

Do not let yourself get jealous 
For we can become rebellious 
Get comfortable with disrespect 
And with each other we disconnect 

Don’t get separated from His presence 
Or we’re surrounded by evil’s essence
His great deterrent and mercy hindrance 
Preventing us from love’s adherence

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...
