The
Essence of the Day
The rosy orb nestled in the clouds resting on the horizon.
Its vibrant flame brushing their wispy gray a gentle red.
The glowing heavens painted orange against deep blue
Filtered through the bare tree branches and feathery pine.
Earlier in the day this same orb shone on the deep snow
Causing its millions of brilliant diamonds to glisten
And the long icicles to sparkle with crystals and gems.
Slowing the ball sank and was swallowed by the earth
Pulling night's shade down as it went. Darkness reigned.
Yet even in the darkness resides the essence of glory of the
day.
The rosy orb blazes boldly at the very rim of the horizon.
Its fiery flame illuminates the dark clouds gathering there.
The sky grows ominously darker while the last light rays
Filter through the chaos stripped bare of truth and reason.
Once its
shine dazzled the world with sparkles and light
Causing a million crystal gems of righteousness to shimmer.
But now the scene careens dangerously. Few jewels remain.
Slowly the ball sinks, swallowed by those who exalt evil.
It descends pulling night's shade behind it. Darkness reigns.
Yet even in this darkness resides the essence of glory of the
Day.
Even in the darkness light dawns for the upright. Psalms 112:4

The Price of Truth
Smoldering, hidden embers seeking life amid the shroud of
oppression
Where pride and thirst for power, whether political or
religion, hated light.
Those embers hot. Their strength could not be contained for
expression.
Few seem small, Yet the God of Host fanned the flames by His
might!
Could anyone stop the embers as they sparked into fire growing
bright?
Refugees for their lives fleeing, in their breast freedom
sprung to life!
This spring couldn't be contained even languishing in shrouds
of tyranny,
A life inspired by the Spirit of the Most High ignites tyrants
to strife.
Brave ordinary men, women,, children faced furious tumultuous
seas
Huddled in tween decks smashed by monster waves while on their
knees.
On the rocky coast of New England's harsh winter they planted
a light.
A light barely penetrating darkness of a continent without the
true God.
They endured starvation, death, hardship beyond belief to end
the night.
God provided miracles while they planted food and their dead
in the sod.
Yet hope welled eternal knowing they were away from the
oppressor's rod.
As time marched on, more brave came to these shores bringing
the truth!
With truth wind blew free. Tasting freedom, and a new peoples
came to be
Don't tread on me! Taxation without representation is surely
treason uncouth
They boldly pledged their lives, fortunes and their sacred
honor for all to see
Continuing the commitment their forefathers made finding
refugee in this lea.
Across the continent they lumbered in wagons courageously
blazing the trails
Until all embers sparked uniting a blazing torch illuminating
the dark world.
Freedom! Born from ashes of despots seeded by challenges of
ship and sail,
Watered by the blood of patriot men, women, children their
banner was unfurled!
A breed of people bonded by vision of seeing beyond the
clashes that swirled.
But we grew complacent and soft. Life became too good. We
forgot the reason.
America, beloved land, home of the brave and free! What has
happened to thee?
We want change, instant gratification, We've lost perspective
Again looms treason.
The young are not told. Our values seem out dated. Is
"enlightenment" now to be?
Maybe totalitarianism is not as before. Perhaps government is
best for you and me?
The brilliant flame of our beacon that beckoned to a lost
world has become very dim.
Darkness is enveloping quickly but the bright lights of the
world camouflage this truth.
Merrily the young strut about in their pleasures unaware of
the gathering shroud of sin.
Night descends extinguishing the last shards of hope. Evil
gallops on bringing a noose.
Only tiny
embers remain. Can they spark again?. Can we stir the flame,
the chains loose?
Wake up wake up America! In our hearts lies a smoldering
heritage to us granted
By those
who strode before us undaunted. It is our turn to carry the
burning flame!
Once to every man a nation comes the moment to decide for
truth or is evil slanted?
Deception unleashed!. Allegiance to God or the man? Stars
glitters. Follow the fame!
Is America crossing the Rubicon? What does scared honor
mean? Is it yet the same?

Light and Fire
Raging fire slowly dies, smoldering coals reduced to ash.
Light transformed as dust.
Evil masquerades as beauty, death the illusion of life.
Goodness trampled asunder.
Crushed the essence of right. Merry hearts laugh in pleasure.
Love twisted as lust.
Rulers on high rejoice saying victory is neigh! But its not
unseen in heaven, He thunders.
Hidden in the ash an ember, warm vibrant, struggles against a
yawning abyss of desolation.
A spark, a flash, but it is soon muffled by a shroud
descending to smoother its brave burst.
Filthy robes adorned in splendor. Mirages lurk. Praised is
profanity with no condemnation.
Majesty
is clouded. Violence declared peace. Indecency inflamed. Will
truth always thirst?
Unholy fire brightens paths illuminating proud parades.
Revelers dance to their own tune.
Orgies prevail. Endless seems debauchery. Scorned are those
who dare stir coals in ashes.
Ruthlessness flourish, deceit contagious, with stronghold
secure asking where is this doom?
We see dimly, but the Lord laughs knowing their final end. For
naught rages their passions.
Yet their chaff contains no kernels. It scatters in His wind.
Their folly meets His rebuke.
Awesome in glory doing wondrous things the wicked cannot
comprehend. Theirs is demise.
Can mirrors reflect false images? Can prisms refract strange
sights of wicked exaltation?
Can fools always triumph? Will they always snuff out light.
Who will risks to arise?
But death is always swallowed up by life. And light cannot be
over come by darkness.
So He decrees. Though many embers are trampled asunder,
undaunted all is not lost!
The power of His fire prevails, and hidden within hearts of
gold it lives amid the morass.
It triumphs though bitter the battle and blood stained the
path. The fight is worth the cost.
His Word goes forth! It cannot be hidden forever. Truth is
ever stronger then falsehood!
Chains cannot bind the humble. Freedom breaks forth! Love
unlocks prisons of despair.
Purity is forever. His righteousness, mercy and justice
eternally will, is, and has stood.
Impostors will be revealed. Though the way dark, the fire hot,
joy pierces beyond compare!

Where
Comes the Truth?
Stone by stone loftily raised on high men build their mighty
towers to the sky
Rulers of steel with fists of iron inspire legions to march
gallantly in their wake.
Empires stand invincible, proud yet they fall. Does even the
wise ponder why?
Noble, powerful, they greatly prosper. So why do they crumble
why they break?
Some for greed or selfish gain ruthlessly drink the dregs of
intoxicating power.
Others of pure intent, in integrity, fashion virtuous
frameworks to freedom aim.
In one
truth's embers faintly flicker. The other in bondage the
wretched cower.
Yet in the end, unshackled or enslaved, the governments of men
are all the same.
For just an hour feeble wicks of humankind may burn. Their
lights do flicker dim
Faint glows may illuminate for a generation or two, but then
they are soon forgotten.
Endlessly repeated is sparks of truth or brutal evil. Of
these history fills to its brim.
The darkness of the Prince of this world truth's light snuffs
out in every age begotten.
Man endeavors to make great his works for all generations, but
this is yet reserved.
Frail lights of mighty men and empires fail in the perfect
light of One who is to reign.
Man is weak and all his efforts come to naught. But there is
a truth to shine preserved.
Breaking
the sky, true justice gain, King of Kings all men shall bow
and Him proclaim!

Who Will
Stand?
Who will stand in the midnight hour? Who bold unshaken uphold
the truth?
Cheer onward many hopeful messages soothing ears from silver
tongues!.
Brightly beams the cunning plots veiled in darkness. Is not
hell now unloose?
In the onslaught discern it wisely! Resist forever! Heroes
fallen yet unsung.
Amid the tumult unbeknownst through voice of reason we're led
to slaughter.
All beliefs bombarded while cloaked in love and sugar filled..
We see it just!
Redefining common sense bastions waver, foundations crumble,
towers totter.
What remains real and sure? As measures change, what standards
do we trust?
In the wake there is great distraction, Yet do we see far too
late? Sleepers arise!
The undergirding of this day is it substance? It's charisma,
can it be but veneer?
Deeply search your heart! Look to heaven! In this dark hour
dare we still surmise?
Stalwart, unmoving face our foe! Fight courageously for what
you hold so dear!
The price of freedom is beyond price! Our fathers' blood,
will it yet be shed in vain?
Are we
lulled by ease and glamour deaf, blind to vital issues
consumed by cares of life?
Repent of pride, of national apathy! A careless loss of
freedom what for us then is gain?
Are we willing to stride unswervingly clear of vision, pure of
heart through this strife?
Hark! Hear the clarion call! Resounding trumpet blasts the
wind and silence shatters
Will we pledge our scared honor? Is freedom not more valuable
then life and wealth?
Return to the Lord! Our might is too weak! God alone stems
the tide and evil scatters
Only the sword of truth, wielded by the Lord of Hosts, will.
pierce these tyrants stealth!

Of Greater Worth
Esteem belongs to God alone. Our worth comes only but from
Him.
All we have done He has accomplished for us. Nothing of self
to be.
Is it not written self must die. Esteem of ourselves must ever
grow dim.
Pride is rooted in seeking ourselves. Peace alone is found
seeking Him
God's ways are not of man who proclaims honor to self. Is not
self insanity?
Is it not but being in Him that our infinite worth is given!
Self needs rebirth.
All of self is pride disguised. What use is our self esteem?
None but vanity!
Sound minds come from giving God glory. Its His atonement
gives us worth.
Self is an ever present temptation. To gain Him to self we
must resist and die!
He has promised love, joy, a sound mind. But fear steals in
giving us pride.
We fear our beings lost in life's surging waves! God hears our
deep heart's cry.
Pride values self. A greater value to the simple is given.
Lost in\ Him we abide.

In the
Depths
Quietly a small pool lay in the hollow of a shady glen.
To the trees and wild flowers about it a mirror it lend.
The righteous live by trust, its fruit manifested peace.
Confidence in the Lord, this strength all stress release.
Sparkling winks to merry sun or cloaked by shadowy sky,
Surface reflects life's circumstance but truth in depth is
shy.
Surroundings imaged on the face. Its what's below that counts.
Faith, integrity, character isn't seen, but of actions it
amounts.
What is below the surface? Is it doubts and frets and fears?
Or is it well won battles forged through pain, sweat, tears?
Below the surface of the pool there is a life by others
unseen.
It beauty, stain cannot be fathomed. For eternity is the
sheen.

Lean Into the Wind
Fierce winds howl. Over the seas it moans.
Heaving waves swell and in trouble groans.
With oceans in turmoil and visibility low,
Its then we can be strengthened and also grow.
We must face troubles squarely, straight in the eye
Even if evil advances and wickedness draws nigh.
The Lord is our salvation when we're hard pressed.
Like birds hovering over, He is our shield, our rest.
But its the set of our sails, the direction of our rudder
That determines our outcome one way or the other.
Its the choices we make as our days come and go.
Do we aim for righteousness or to evil do we sow?
He longs to be gracious, our strength ever dawning
Though waters be troubled and waves yet yawning.
Our guide, our navigation must be firmly His Word.
Then even in darkness our outcome can be assured.
If our course is set right, safe harbor we'll know.
Usward towards the Lord storm winds will blow.
In times of distress there's nothing frailty can do
But trim our sails and set our rudder firm and true.
Then lean into the wind!
Scripture paraphrased from Isaiah 33

Safe in
the Lea
I am so frail and my strength is very small
But I know that He is there whenever I call.
Through the mighty winds, the waves fierce,
He comes to rescue, and the darkness pierce.
Though the battle rages, and I lean into the lee
Over the storm safe in His hands He holds me.
The storm I'll see, but from the palm of his hand.
The storm will not touch me, His angels command.
If I dwell in His shelter, I rest in His shadow.
His faithfulness is safety. Harm I'll not know.
Safe in His refuge, a fortress secure o'r the sea,
The terror of the tumult will not come near me.
I will never leave you. I will never forsake.
These blessings are mine and I freely partake!
The wicked are gone when the storm's swept by.
But firm I'll stand righteous the apple of His eye.

The Boat
Give me abundant blessings Lord, this is my prayer. I have
heard peace and joy are gifts from you!
If I put
myself in your care prosperity, happiness, and health I will
know. My cares will be few!
Deliver
me from misunderstandings, loneliness, humiliation,
persecutions. Let life be smooth for me.
But the Word says, "In this life will be tribulations." There
are promised many storms on your sea.
It is not as the world views it that God see life. Storms are
necessary to bring out the silver and gold.
If your sea is smooth, you will be a weak useless vessel.
Myself in you I want to build and mold.
I was
misunderstood,. I was lonely, I was humiliated, I was
persecuted. Can you ask for better?
Its
enough to be like your Messiah. Fire brings heat burning out
impurities breaking every fetter.
Storms, my Lord, is the way to your blessings? But how can I
be safe and ever endure?
Do not
fear, my child, I have over come the world. This is also is
given as a promise sure.
As storms
rage furiously blessings, peace, beyond understanding are
yours, and you will float.
Nothing
can ever harm you if you remember that are safe because Yeshua
is in your boat!

Midnight
When darkness reigns and there are no answers, I know God is
still in control.
I hear of silent screams, but I wonder if mine is heard. The
scriptures say so.
It says He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted. I grab
that promise and wait.
Where is my hope? It is in the Lord. Yet only a faint prick of
light flickers distantly.
Amidst the blackness, I call upon the Name of the Lord whose
presence engulfs me.
I hear testimonies of love and deliverance from pain, but my
agony is beyond bearing!
Where is that answer for me? I have prayed and I have
searched long.There is none.
The nights are long and restless with no answers. All I have
are His arms around me.
Will this nightmare ever end? It seems to be the essence of
life itself stretching onward.
Oh, that
I might be free again. But my pain seems to be beyond human
endurance.
I cannot even cry, my grief is so deep. There has to be an
end to this tunnel and light.
Only God can deliver me, but why is the waiting so long? Will
you come once more to me?

To Live
the Truth
How do I dull the ache in my breast! How do you contradict
lies?The truth you live.
It matters not what others believe. It isn't the measure you
take but the measure give.
When all turn away, no one left, suffocating grief surrounds
with agonizing groans
The love in your heart for the cherished ones dear remains,
and Truth stands alone.
I know He stood alone, betrayed, denied, rejected by those for
whom He sacrificed His all
He lived, served, saved, loved. He shed His life Blood. In
anguish He died, but to God He called.
I sacrificed also my blood to give life, and pointed the way
to truth. Yet no one hears my cry
I too have been betrayed, rejected, denied. I gave my all in
love so deep, love that can never die!
How do I dull this ache in my breast? There is no one to
comfort or return my love.
My deeds all twisted, the truth so lost! The blame hurled
harsh like fury from above.
Alone with blame and dishonor heaped by those I treasure the
most, I can do no more.
Only His comfort, no human hands reach out to me. On the tree
He my anguish bore.
This alone is my comfort. This alone dulls the ache in my
breast when all have turned away.
Even the
one who loved me most! I know a bit of my Messiah's pain when
lies loyalties sway.
All have turned, no one is left! I reel with stunned
surprise. But there are those who do love.
God is near and friends stand by. From the tree He sends His
peace, and it descends as a dove.

Amid the Darkness
The twilight steals softly over the land. Then inky darkness
reigns supreme
The night seems impenetrable. Vision is reduced. A still
peace seems to abound.
Only a few lights twinkle. The world is lost in slumbers and
its senseless dreams.
We think not of this and are lulled into indifference of that
which lurks around.
I lay in the stillness just before dawn. Could a faint light
be teasing the eastern sky?
Is light approaching to reveal forms hidden by the night, the
pestilence and the sword.
Do we but still think peace and just the dawning of another
day not questioning why?
Is it not time to awaken even within thick darkness. Prepare
ye the way of the Lord!

The
Light in the Darkness
Light is here, but it is growing dimmer. Swift approaching is
the night
He is our shield, our rampart, our only defence!. Run, cling
to the tower.
When foundations are destroyed, there is but One Who knows our
plight!
Our Rock shall undergird us so we can be victorious in the
midnight hour!
Evil sweeps in like a flood and few dare to swim against
foaming, surging tide.
God raises His standard, but most choose to float rather then
contend the strife.
Burrow deep into His essence! Hid in His refuge, our
dwelling. In Him abide!
If we keep our lives we lose them, but lost in Him we're
sealed forever by His life.
Lines are shifting while divisions grow ever deeper. Harken!
Can you not see?
All is
being shaken, That of self He must destroy so He in us may
stand secure!
Old wineskins aren't sufficient. Past is the time for doing.
Now we must only be.
Our fear trembles, the weak fail. Every man and nation decide!
Only He endures.
Delusions are promised while Brother betrays brother. Friend
betrays his friend
The first shall be last. while the last shall be first. Will
we be one of those to stand?
Only those who love Him above the lure of worldly pleasures
will shine in the end.
Darkness falls. He is light! Brightness will be revealed to
those who grasp His hand.

The Light of the World
When we are engulfed within an endless sea of inky night,
Descending darkness wraps its tendrils around our world.
In the
darkness friendly seems vague, unfamiliar to our sight.
Distorted images loom around as we're tossed by windy swirls.
But God is our light even when the night is at its the
darkest.
In Him is light and no darkness at all! All is as light to
Him!
He reigns in the splendor of holiness. He illuminates
brightest!
He is the
light of the world! His light is the light that never dims.
Holy is the Lord God of Hosts. The earth is filled with His
glory!
His face is like the sun in its shining brilliance. His eyes
like fire.
Get on a mountain and blow the shofar! Shout loudly this
story!
Breathed into a dying world this message is hope that will not
tire!

Whispers in the Night
Whispers echo through the night
My child I love you, be not afraid.
Darkness reigns, there is no light
Onward through in silence prayed.
If only a star with its shining light
Would beckon and its comfort made.
But my all is God, and He is enough.
The terror of the night I shall not fear.
Though path is dim, my way be rough.
His hand sustains me, He is ever near.
He ordains my times though life rebuffs.
At the rising dawn He'll dry each tear.

Embrace
the Dawn
Sorrow filled the hours long into the dark night. I was so
alone.
Grief, anguish from a betrayers assault, stabbed leaving me
cold.
Struggling to forgive was beyond my strength. My heart a
stone.
Its not for me I grieve, but for a truth which to me so dear I
hold.
Suffering is promised if we stand for truth, but is truth
being lost?
I must let go, release to G-d this burden. Its not mine but
His to bear.
But so human am I, so frail! I am but dust. Truth is yet
worth the cost!
He beckons us to share His yoke. I am not alone. He our
sorrows share!
The long, dark night drags on. Is there to be no end? But
wait! Peace!
I abide in Him! What amazing realization. My finite mind is
this beyond!
His flesh they pierced. He died for me. Because of this I can
receive release
Forget night! Sun illuminates my window! A new day! Embrace
the dawn!

The Great Day of the Lord
Long and dark is the night. All around evil shrouds with
laughter from the pit.
Proudly boast the wicked, their deeds unchecked abound. In
triumph they sit.
We are trapped! And the snare entangled us, while the chords
of death surround.
Graves confront us, death is glorified, and destruction of
righteousness profound.
When will it end, The Land cease to mourn, and your truth no
longer despised?
When will your Word be honored? When, oh Lord, will your
aweseomeness arise?
You are the King of all Kings and the Lord of all Lords! In
you abides the light!
When will you mount the cherubim and fly with the wind the
darkness to fight!
The Lord scoffs at the wicked. Nations rage in vain!
Righteousness will prevail.
The One enthroned on high rebukes and laughs at them and sends
terror to assail.
The earth quakes with His anger. He that keeps Israel neither
slumbers nor sleeps.
Former ways will pass, new things springs forth. Trust is the
righteousness that keeps.
Wars and rumors of war, pestilence, famine, violence, many
will die by the way of the sword.
Can you hear the thunder in the distance? Coming the Great and
terrible Day of the Lord!
prepare
the way for the Lord! Gird your loins. Ordered your steps.
Strengthened your heart.
Look up, rejoice! Amid the fury redemption draws nigh! He
comes His Kingdom to impart

Stand Firm for the Treasure
To follow
the Lord in His foot steps is a path difficult and hard.
Our own
dreams often shattered, and our crowns will be scars.
The
battle is fierce, but its outcome is not determined by chance.
Its your
choose whom to serve Who determines victory in advance.
Living
sacrifices must we be even when our own falls away.
To look
back, waver, we aren't worthy if we falter in the fray.
The
Lord's ways are perfect, but they demand a price high.
Having
done all to stand, stand therefore. He will be neigh.
Belt of
truth, breastplate of righteousness, and shoes of peace,
With the
shield of faith and helmet of salvation these are keys.
Along
with the sword of the Spirit with this armor, we can't fail.
As arrows
fly fast, and friends falter, deceived, we shall prevail!
In the
midst of the battle when all seems lost, don't trust to sight!
Feelings
are false guides, circumstances will deceive in darkest night
Trust
God, His Word alone! There is a way that seems right to man,
But the
way thereof is destruction.Ý Go with God's way and His plan.
Who will
be standing at the end of the day? Who falls back, who
betrays?
The ones
who give all not counting the cost, they'll stand and firmly
stay.
When the
smoke has cleared, true followers of God in darkness will
shine.
Those of
themselves in weakness succumb, those in Lord's strength will
dine!
Even in
turmoil, there is peace! When we enter the battle we will be
joyful!
Fighting
in God's strength, our own abating. The enemy's plans are
foiled.
Because
they not trusted those defeated on both sides litter the
battle field.
They that
trust in the Lord, though the struggle be strong, will find
His shield.
If we
don't doubt, standing strong in the fight, what joy awaits if
we preserver!
The
things we desire will be granted our hearts.Ý Is He what we
hold most dear?
Do we
count all rubbish in order to win the prize? What is our
fondest pleasure?
Even with
pain is truth worth the battle? Is not His Kingdom the
greatest treasure!

The Crushing
We are the vineyard of the Lord! Planted by Him in fertile
ground. We are His chosen treasure.
He loosens soil, clears of stones, and prunes the ones He
loves. Let pruning come at His pleasure.
We are choicest of vines. Only by His tending, do we produce
grapes, fruit that's sweet to the taste!
And from grapes comes wine which gladdens hearts of men! But
if used unwisely, it will go to waste.
Fruit of the vine! We rejoice in our grapes! But God wants
more then fruit, He wants the wine.
Wine is life, joy, fullness enhancing the meal with Him when
we open the door inviting Him to dine.
But wine is made only by crushing the fruit Crushing? We
ourselves labored long our fruit to produce!
Yet it is but ours. The form of our being must be lost, skin
broken for juice to drip and pure joy induce.
It can't be our fruit. It must be God's! His pleasure was to
crush Messiah for His finished work.
Likewise we must be crushed to bring our fullness! Crushing
removes all of self that in us lurks!
\Our pride, our dreams, our plans, our vision must be crushed
until all is gone of our own striving.
Our fruit is but ours, but God wants to give us of His
fullness. His work in us produces joy thriving.
It is only by His crushing of our fruit within that brings
forth true wine, His life and joy within us.
The completion of fruitfulness is to submit to His pleasure
and be crushed so we can be righteous
Then only can we look up and rejoice as fury unfolds. We can
eagerly, patiently await His appearing.
Enduring our trials, we look for His glory revealed and are
sustained by joy of His wine endearing
It is only the joy of the Lord that is our strength! Only that
joy can prepare us for the final hour
When fear comes upon the world with sword, pestilence, and
anguish. Then we need His power.
Power
comes in fullness of the Lord giving peace beyond
understanding in quiet, complete rest
Relinquishing all which is ours. Then, ushered into His
presence, we can stand the hardest test.

The Battle is Victorious!
The
battle field is intense, and most bloody the fray.
But the
battle is spiritual, and His Blood wins the day.
The
bodies of those fighting in their strength lay littered
Its no
time to give in to self pity. It is no time to be bittered.
The
battle is won in trust as we go forth praising the Lord.
The world
fights in their power with weakness and sword.
Our
weapons are not carnal, but are mighty in His strength.
To bring
down the strongholds on this earth's width and length.
In the
end He is victorious, and He leads mightily in His wake
All who
follow Him valiantly and sacrifice all for His sake
For what
does it profit if we gain the world, yet loose the prize!
Loss of
our lives, gains us the stake, the grave, and the skies!

Hang on
When all seems dark, hang on.
When the future seems dim, hang on.
When problems multiply, hang on.
When friends and family betray, hang on.
When hearts are crushed, hang on.
In the midst of grief and pain, hang on.
When dreams are dashed, hang on.
When body is weak, hang on.
When it seems God has forgotten, hang on.
Ah, but I am too weary with this world to hang on.
The fight has been too long to hang on.
The struggle is too great to hang on.
The problems too many to hang on.
The betrayal of friends is too painful to hang on.
The grief is too great to hang on.
The loss of my dreams is too much to hang on.
The body is too weak to hang on.
And God seems to have forgotten, so why hang on.
Why hang on? Why hang on? There is no other option!
Why hang on? The bend in the road will come.
When the
rope breaks, tie a knot, and hang on!
The faintest star is bright when there is no other light.
We must hang on, for though beaten, we not destroyed
When our own strength fails, His is strong, so hang on!
God WILL yet triumph, and His children will not beg bread.
They that wait upon the Lord, will be able to hang on!

Not of

The vision strong shone in the distance, young was I and full

Dreams, plans, castles splendid, beckoning to heights beyond

Drums rolled, and marched I while life's tapestry gloriously
swirled.
Wrapped in velvet, pearls, and love my life ahead joyously
unfurled!
Then winds cold, bitter in boiling clouds brewed fury, and my
hopes tumbled.
My dreams were tossed like fragile sticks and as molded bread
they crumbled.
Raging storms crossed my soul with torrential veils of rain
unrelenting all about.
Darkness descended hovering like a shroud in the gales,
causing my soul to doubt.
Deep roared loudly with heavy waters. All the waves and
breakers swept over me,
And in angry tides my castles flattened for they were but sand
and swept to sea.
Then the lofty fantasies of my dreams were broken and trodden
down in the dust.
At my feet lay they in a million pieces, abandon. Destined
were they only to rust.
At the prospects those who loved me turned aside. Shivering
alone, all seemed lost.
Though He slay me, yet will I serve him! A ravishing thirst
sought light at all cost.
Fear not! Petitions with thanksgiving, in all things rejoicing
is what this requires.
Delighting in the Lord brings to fruition His promise of
fulfilling heart's desires
Why are you downcast, my soul? Why within so disturbed? Hope
in God and praise!
I am mourning, oppressed, but fretting leads to evil. Can He
guard me in all my ways?
In the shadow of your wings hide me, covered by your feathers,
until disaster is past.
If I dwell in the secret place of the Most High, I will abide
in Him until the very last!
Be my stronghold, fortress, shield in times troubled. Of your
goodness send me a sign.
I am laid low in the dust, but focusing on Him a peace beyond
understanding is mine!
Ravaged by storms, my heart groans. Teach me your ways! Your
truth I will be taking.
In ashes I repent for the Lord's council I sought not. My vain
dreams were own making.
I had fashioned plans without knowledge, understanding. My
deeds were not mine to do.
For He prepared in advance His works for me. I became HIS
workmanship as in Him I grew.
Without wisdom, foolishly I grumbled. These troubles were for
me the Lord's plan all along!
He is the potter; I am the clay! He fashioned me HIS way. In
the night I am to sing His song.
Submission to the Lord is best. But His ways are not our own
working slowly not in haste.
Trials seem never ending, but they are planned for well being.
No sorrow will go to waste!
Now hardships are my boasting revealing imperfections. He is
made strong when I am weak
Nothing
comes to me unless my Father allows. He chooses to build in
me what I didn't seek.
I had visions of ease, comfort, laughter and bliss all my
days. Glorious were my dreams!
but
instead through torrential rain and foggy mist a tower of
strength vaguely gleams.
It is my
life! God built His masterpiece of living stones and a steel
that is not my own.
When life
is over it will be by grace and faith I enter in, not of deeds
I myself have sown.

Little Things
I have a
pleasant meadow path, and joy it gives to me. Daily I walk
along its gentle way.
There are flowers, butterflies, abundant skies! Often I wish
amongst this beauty I could stay.
But along
the path is a a Red Wing Black Bird, and I must pass these few
ounces of feathers.
He storms
me with vengeance chasing furiously impeding my joy, and my
journey he fetters!
I share my meadow with a fox living in a den near the path.
Also there is evidence of coyote.
I welcome these friends, this is their nature too. The fear of
these larger animals have I smote!
But along the path is a a Red Wing Black Bird, and I must pass
these few ounces of feathers.
He storms
me with vengeance chasing furiously impeding my joy, and my
journey he fetters!
I have faced many giants in my life: troubles, obstacles,
sorrow, pain. Yet I've learned not to fear.
The giants in my life I look full in the face. Nothing will
defeat me since life to me is very dear.
But along the path is a a Red Wing Black Bird, and I must pass
these few ounces of feathers.
He storms
me with vengeance chasing furiously impeding my joy, and my
journey he fetters!
From this little bird I have come to see, it isn't the big
things in life that can be my undoing
But the
little things that assail, surprise me without warning that
halts victory I am pursuing!
But along
the path is a a Red Wing Black Bird, and I must pass these few
ounces of feathers.
He storms me with vengeance chasing furiously impeding my joy,
and my journey he fetters!
Its the little things to which I must devout some attention
that I may not be defeated by ounces.
I have battled the pounds and slain my giants, but the little
things are what waylay and pounces.
But along the path is a a Red Wing Black Bird, and I must pass
these few ounces of feathers.
He storms me with vengeance chasing furiously impeding my joy,
and my journey he fetters!

The Root and the Rock
In joy the trees of the fields
will clap their hands as you go out.
In the wind the branches wave
their hands. Joyful praises resound!
You are the planting of the
Lord. You won't wither in times of drought.
Your Root is the Branch.
Messiah, a tender shoot out of dry ground.
The Spirit moves as it wills, the breath of God flows like
the wind.
No one sees the wind, but we
are aware of its movement around.
Branches who are you? Called
out ones of whom all have sinned,
But cleansed by His Blood.
This truth, how amazingly profound!
Branches, some are natural
ones, others are grafted from the wild
All connected to the Root!
Every branch by God this root nourishes.
Who is the Root? Who is it He
Who supports you branches, my child,
Joint heirs natural and wild?
Forever by God's promise Israel flourishes!
Branches, you are but tiny
pebbles. Your foundation must be the Rock!
On the Rock He builds His
chosen. He the Cornerstone nothing can sever
Rock and root, the foundation
and the nourishment, Together they lock.
Intertwined, they are bonded.
Root and Rock is One. You are one together.
Can you love one without the other? A plan transcends this
sod.
In the wind joyful branches wave their clapping hands on
high.
Wind blows where it wills, joy comes from the breath of God!
We shall see our Rock, the God of Israel. Upon His Name we
cry!

Let the Children Come
to Me
Leelia Carolyn Cornell
Let the little children come and sit upon my knee.
Children of Jacob they are, and so precious to me.
Tell me, why do others who are called by my Name,
Spit upon them while for my death they are blamed?
Children found hiding in
attics fear for their lives.
Others are running, trembling.
Few of them survives.
In sewers, trash heaps they cower, innocent are they!
Yet few give them aid, and the threat remains today.
Now rockets assault them from Gaza and Lebanon.
Bombs explode in the market place. Israel is stunned.
Suicide bombers sparks joy with dancing and cakes.
Families murdered in their beds. Yet He doesn't forsake.
What of the children? All Israel as my children I see!
How I long for young and old to come sit upon my knee!
For I am their Messiah. To them I came to seek and save!
Yet they are bombarded while around them nations rave.
Declared from pigs and monkeys! What lies abound!
Where is understanding based on truth that is sound?
In the eyes of all Jacob's children, can't the world see?
Through them from me comes the
One Who sets you free!

What is His Name?
Leelia Carolyn Cornell
Hear Oh Israel, the Lord your Gods, Elohim, the Lord is One.
He alone you are to worship!
Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who gathered the
wind in His palm, His hand?
Who has wrapped up the waters in His cloak? Who has
established all the ends of the earth?
What is His Name and the Name of His Son? Tell me if you
know asks the Proverbs of God.
God spoke His Word, and the universe was created while His
Spirit hovered over the expanse.
For to us a child is born, a
Son is given. He shall be called Pelle Oetz, wonderful
counseling One,
El Gibor, the mighty heroic
God, Aviad, Everlasting Father, Shar Shalom, the Prince of
Peace.
The increase of His government there will be no end. His
Name is called Immanuel, God with us.
The Lord will raise up a prophet like Moses from among your
brothers. You must listen to Him!
You are my Son, today I have become your Father. Father in
the Son, Son in the Father is One.
In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, the
Word was God from the beginning.
He was before all things, He created all things, and in Him
all things hold together. God spoke!
And the Word became flesh and lived amongst us Immanuel. He
came in the form of a servant.
By His knowledge my righteous Servant will justify many for
He will bear their iniquities.
He was pierced for our sins and crushed for our rebellions,
and by His wounds we are healed.
Abraham lifted the knife to slay His son, but God provided a
ram as a substitute for Isaac's life.
Abraham saw His day and was satisfied. Before Abraham I Am.
I AM Who I Am Asher Ehyeh.
Slaughter the lamb at
twilight. Put its blood on your door posts. Blood a sign!` I
will passover you.
His Blood shed by His
sacrificial guilt offering, applied to our hearts. Death
passes over forever!
Set free from slavery to Egypt, we now are freed of sin!
Lamb of God slain from the beginning !
I will make a new covenant, not like the one on stone which
you broke. I will write it on hearts
So you will know me. The Word became flesh and lived
amongst us the fullness of God in Him.
Foretold in Daniel the Anointed One was to appear. Then
later would the Temple be destroyed
Was not the temple destroyed? He has come! His Name is
Yeshua Messiah ben Joseph, Salvation!
He is coming back again as a Lion of the Tribe of Judah to
rule. Ben David God with us forever!

God's Character of
Love
Leelia Carolyn Cornell
In the Word of Elohim, which became flesh, resides grace and
mercy.
He is from eternity, He is with God, He is God. Forever our
God is One.
He was before all things, and He created all things, and in
Him is Life!
By His Word God, the Creator, spoke and all that is burst
into existence
Things in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible.
Creation is for Him
He holding everything together. in Him God's complete
fullness dwells.
His Word is Life, the Light of man, light that shines into
the darkness.
Tho' Darkness cannot comprehend it, His Light cannot be
overcome!
Choose this day whom you shall serve. Death and life is set
before you!
His grace and mercy, which permeating eternity, births life.
Choose life!
Only veiled in Moses is the Lamb slain from the creation of
the world.
His Word reveals His promise: sins brings death, and His
Word gives life!
Swallowing up death and darkness, His love, in justice,
destroy all of sin.
In His great love His promise is final destruction of
darkness for He is Light.
His unfathomable love provides His way to light and life by
His grace, mercy.
His Torah is truth, the way, the life, His Life which holds
together all creation.
His Word is established in the heavens! His faithfulness
reaches to the sky.
The heavens declare His glory! The earth is filled with His
glory! He is love!
His love desires intimacy with man. Thus He cut covenants
with His people,
With Israel His beloved, apple of His eye. He revealed
Himself to His chosen.
To destroy us He would remain silent, but He gave us His
Word. Seek Him!
With wicked hearts, we all like sheep have gone astray. Each
one to our own way.
By breaking His covenant Word, love demands justice,
judgment, wrath, and death.
In His covenant with Abram, He took upon Himself all
conditions of His covenants,
Thus by His knowledge, through His righteous Servant, He
decrees to justify many
Though He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows
tasting our grief.
God laid upon His Servant all our sins Who willing took upon
Himself our infirmities.
Becoming our sin, He was pierced for our rebellions and
crushed for our iniquities.
It pleased God to crush Him, because He took for us God's
judgment wrath in our place.
We earned punishment, but He was smitten by God, and our
justice fell on Him instead.
For us the Word of God died our death fulfilling the
conditions of His covenant Word!
He, the Lamb slain from the creation, spoken of by Moses,
embodied in the sacrifices.
Life is in His Blood shed for forgiveness. For its Blood,
that it is what makes atonement!
He, source of Life, and Torah of truth, descended to deepest
darkness and death in our place.
Death couldn't hold the source of Life, the Word made flesh.
He broke its chains forever!
From eternity revealed in the fullness of time! Limitless
love! Yet we must chose. Chose Life!

Time
Leelia Carolyn Cornell
You see its destruction, yet unseen it moves about touching,
changing all of creation.
Trees sprout and grow while plants flourish. Then all wither
and die and blow away.
All creatures great and small who taste the breath of life
meet death. They are no more.
Lines become etched upon beloved faces once young, All
bodies age. Men too pass away.
Yet from everlasting to everlasting He is God eternal with
no end with no beginning.
Elohim spoke, and it was so! The vastness of creation burst
forth its genesis tangible.
The expanse of the universe, beyond measure, reflects the
limitlessness of Elohim!
Unfathomable are the reaches of His dominion reflecting the
character of the Creator
At the beginning of time the earth was formless and empty
with darkness was over all.
His Ruach over the darkness
hovered on the surface of the deep, the mighty waters.
Then the Word of Elohim, the Light of the world He spoke!
And there was His light! From the beginning His light
shattered darkness separating the light from darkness.
The sovereign light of Elohim reigned over creation until
His Word spoke into being
A great light to rule the day, and a lesser light to rule
the night, the sun and the moon.
And throughout the heavens He sprinkled the stars scattered
throughout the expanse
To mark the seasons, days, and years. These lights a measure
of time within eternity.
And it was good! In a garden He placed man created in Their
own image, His likeness.
From the dust of the earth He created him and breathed into
him His own breath of life!
From the rib of man, Elohim created a woman. They were to
rule over all of the creation.
In the cool of the evening, face to face, they walked with
their Creator. It was very good!
Time carved out of eternity, one superimposed on the other,
was deemed for the created,
Limited and tangible it is but temporary. Only Eternity,
timeless, unseen remains forever!
Marking the seasons in the beginning perfect in a sinless
state was time's favored measure,
But man's free chose disobedience, rebellion caused all life
to be tinged again with darkness.
A curse upon creation is the sin of man. All subject to
bondage of darkness, decay and death
Not by its own choice, but by the will God to show forth in
the fullness of time His glory!
As for man the invisible qualities of the Creator can be
understood by His visible creation.
He made it so. Ordaining from the beginning we have no
excuse for our foolish wickedness.
The Word of Elohim became flesh to take His own wrath and
break the curse of death!
In time present sufferings of temporal life will give way to
eternal glory of life and light!
All creation waits in eager expectation for this to be
revealed, to be brought into freedom.
What is seen is but temporal with substance. What is
invisible remains eternal, limitless.
In the beginning His Light shattered the darkness. But sin
shrouded darkness over creation.
All that is of darkness will be revealed, for light and life
remain stronger then sin and death!
His light always over comes! And time created, then infused
by death sin, will be no more.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but His Word will never
cease for He is of eternity the I Am!
Death's sting is sin, but death is swallowed up in victory
through His Atoning Blood sacrifice!
The body of flesh, sown in the
perishable, will be resurrected imperishable forever in
glory.
The heavens and earth sin
warped in time shall vanish. Behold a new eternal heaven and
earth!
Sin with its suffering will flee, no more reasons to weep!
In timelessness forever Elohim with us!

Over Comers
Leelia Carolyn Cornell
The World spins wildly fused through with corruption of the
vanity of the hearts of men.
Like static in the air is the pride of life, the lust of the
eyes, and temptation of the temporal.
Deceptions beckon with reason. Angels of light smoothly
seek subtly to deceive the very elect.
The path wanders with twists and turns that promise beauty,
peace, joy. Come taste, explore!
A better way to fame, fortune, health! Life should be
pleasant! Darkness wears a mask of light.
Pit falls are hidden, traps disguised. Snares unaware
await. We awaken entangled too late.
In this world of time, in bondage to sin, is man and nature,
a slave to darkness, decay, and death.
Who will stand? Can we resist? It lures. How do we discern
messages. Which is of truth or lie?
We desire good, yet a slave to
sin! The world is strong. A wretched state, Who can deliver
us?
Blessed be He King of the
universe Who gives us victory through Yeshua Messiah, His
light!
He wrapped in light, source of light, living in
unapproachable light causes worldly light to pale!
From eternity, through
eternity in Him was, is, and is to come the fountain of
grace and mercy.
We are but weak and frail. Of ourselves we are but nothing.
Our works are but filthy rags.
The world boasts works! Yet our works all fail. The sum of
this world will be burnt to stubble.
Why boast of weakness says the world? Yet it is in our
weakness His strength is made manifest.
Where we are weak is He is strong! Live not by our strength
or might, but by His Spirit alone.
He, God's Word eternal stripped of His glory, humbled
Himself taking the nature of a servant.
We are created in His image, but He appeared in our frailty
obedient even unto our death.
For our sins he was pierced, for our rebellions He was
crushed , taking our wrath to set us free!
By His righteous Servant, infirm, carrying our sins, He
justifies many by His guilt offering.
He is our strength! He is our song! He has become our
salvation, our Yeshua eternal forever
Putting to death in us by His mercy the law of sin and
death, He His Torah of Spirit and life!
Our hearts He circumcises by His Spirit to thwart the
temptation of our foul nature of flesh
Giving His light to our eyes to see hidden snares, to
release us from worldly traps set for us.
We are to be a chosen people,
A royal priesthood, not conformed to the things of this
world.
Put on the belt of truth, He
is truth, the breast plate of righteousness, He is our
righteousness, The shoes of peace, He is peace, take the
shield of faith for He is our shield, refuge to guard us;
Put on the helmet of
salvation, He is Yeshua, take the sword of the Spirit His
Word made flesh.
Though the fig tree does not
bud or no grapes on the vines, the olive crop fails, no food
produced,
And no cattle or sheep abound, yet will I rejoice in the
Lord and be joyful in God my Savior!
Because If God be for us, who can be against us? In His
strength we are more the conquerors!
For nothing can separate us from the love of God that He has
for us through Yeshua Messiah!
He who overcomes will be granted the gift of life and light.
In the turmoil, endure to the end.
Overcome by the Blood of the Lamb, the Word of our
testimony, and be willing to die for truth.
He is our Rock! Under His wings He hides us. He, our help in
all trouble. His grace is sufficient.
We belong to God to declare His praises forever! Be still
and know He alone is our God eternal!

In the World, But not Of It
Leelia Carolyn Cornell
God knows we are dust, but He provides a way, Yeshua given
for our salvation to set us free
Who put to death in us the law of sin, death. We owe our
human nature, the world nothing!
Our human nature brings death to our hearts. Draw on His
strength by His Spirit, His gift,
For the Spirit through His Word alone gives life! Seek Him
and you will find life's answers.
Amid the sensual we live, but refrain from its lures! A
peculiar people we are not of the world.
Guard the heart with whatever is true, noble, right, pure,
lovely, admirable His peace assured.
To be in Him, His Word declares live poor in Spirit knowing
He alone is able, Mourn for sin,
Have strength in meekness, hunger for His Face, show mercy,
with a pure heart make peace.
In this world tribulation is a promise, but Yeshua over came
the world and death to life!
He also promises abundant life in the midst, for abundant
life comes by abiding with Him.
In Him find the peace beyond understanding because through
Him we too can overcome evil.
Blessed are we by persecutions for keeping our life in the
world brings loss. By its loss find life!
Resist the evil and it will flee from our minds and hearts.
Draw near to the One who keeps us.
He who keeps us slumbers not nor sleeps. His mercies never
fail, they are new every morning.
By His great love we are not
consumed. Forget what was before! Strain upward to His
calling!
Throw off all that hinders and entangles us and run the race
of His truth with preservation!

Peace and Rest Forever
Leelia Carolyn Cornell
In repentance and rest is my salvation.
Anything less result in deprivation.
In quietness and trust is my strength.
Its life's anchor, its breath and length.
Only the fruit of righteousness is peace.
In righteousness is to be found our release.
Righteousness brings us quiet confidence.
This is forever and more then providence.
I am promised a peaceful dwelling place,
A safe secure home because of His grace.
Undisturbed places of rest is what I claim!
To live truth, I will never be put to shame.
These are my hopes, also my foundation.
I shall not be moved by life's frustration.
The righteous walk by faith, nothing less.
God's Word is sure. Focus not on life's test.
I call on Him in the watches of the night
Fearing not its darkness for He is light!
Like a weaned child, I will
quiet my soul,
And hope in the Lord and rest
in His fold.
Oh Israel put your trust in the Lord forever!
He will not forsake you. He'll leave you never.
In this do we rest. In this is our only peace.
Under His wings of safety is our only release.

At dawning the eastern sky is flaming red while angry clouds
gather darkly in the west. Can you understand it? A storm is
approaching, and for battle the warriors are dressed.
Oh see the signs, do not miss them! Wake up! Be alert! The
time is coming. Light is dim.
Set your sails in the direction of His Word. Then the fury
of winds will blow you to Him.
Oh Israel, can you see her? She is standing alone as her
friends and allies have betrayed.
The nations are raging and will gather soon. Plans for her
annihilation cannot be delayed.
But Melech Israel, His plans are secure! God have mercy on
all who oppose her. Be ready!
Oh, how dreadful to fall into the hands of the Living God.
Prepare! Faint not. Be steady!
God laughs at the nations. They won't succeed! Those who
oppose her will be cursed and fail.
Israel, apple of His eye, blessed are they who stand with
her. Shouts of victory for them all!
But give heed of what is yet to come. A fury will be
unleashed ushering things that must occur.
Fear not! In His secret place under His wings we are hid. He
will see us through the storm secure.
Stand therefore! Do not look back! All will be tried and
tested. Anchor your soul on the Rock!
Fasten your eyes on Him alone as your heart beats as one
accord, and with Him your spirit lock.
Do not serve Him, but empty yourself of your own deeds so
His life and works flow through you.
Then your deeds in turbulent days will not be yours. His
work alone will shine perfect and true.
Oh Israel, your Messiah is returning to you. The Land will
see the One whom you have pierced.
You will mourn for Him, and come to know His love for you
recognizing Him as most dearest.
Out of the turmoil that is descending your salvation finally
you will know. Look up! Rejoice!
We shall cry He was He is He is to come the King of all
kings, Lord of all lords as one voice!
