A Holy people unto The Lord, (I Chr 16:29)
Peculiar, you could say, (Deut 14:2)
His laws within their heart, (Deut. 11:18)
They walk in all His ways, (Deut 5:33)

Resisting the devil, (James 4:7)
While drawing nigh unto Him, (James 4:8)
Desiring to be His express image,
No longer a servant to sin (Romans 6:17)

"Be ye perfect," (Matt 5:48)
Jesus said on the mount,
As your Father in heaven is perfect,
Leaving no room for any doubt,

David's  heart was perfect, (I Kings 11:4)
Desiring all God's holy ways,
Striving to live in mercy
And love in all his days

"Nobody's perfect"
The world will always say,
If that is your hope, ( Hebrews 11:1)
Perfection you'll not obtain

Striving for imperfection??
An achievement you can surely make,
God wants our goals set higher,
Our whole life perfection takes.

I Chr 16:29
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name : bring an offering , and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness .  

Deut 14:2
For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God , and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth 

Deut. 11:18
Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul , and bind them for a sign upon your hand , that they may be as frontlets between your eyes .  

Deut 5:33
Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live , and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess . 

James 4:7-8

Submit yourselves therefore to God . Resist the devil , and he will flee from you .  
Draw nigh to God , and he will draw nigh to you . Cleanse your hands , ye sinners ; and purify your hearts , ye double minded .  

Romans 6:17
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen .  

Matt 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect , even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect

I Kings 11:4
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old , that his wives turned away his heart after other gods : and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God , as was the heart of David his father .  

Psalm 138:8
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. 



Deut 15:5
 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. 

Ephesians 4:12-13
 For the perfecting of the saints , for the work of the ministry , for the edifying of the body of Christ :  
 Till we all come in the unity of the faith , and of the knowledge of the Son of God , unto a perfect man , unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ :

By the river of Ahava,
He proclaimed a fast,
To afflict themselves before God,
That He might lead them on a safe  path

They carried many treasures,
The road was a dangerous one,
Ezra didn't ask for soldiers or horsemen
Because of the mighty hand of God

Some trust in horses and chariots, (Psalm 20:7)
Some trust in things they have,
Earthly things cannot deliver,
Nor provide safety like God's hand

Trust in The Lord with all your heart, (Prov 3:5)
Lean not on yourself for His will,
If God is for you, who can be against you! (Romans 8:21)
Ye have need to wait and be still! (Hebrews 10:36)


Ezra 8:21-22
 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. 

 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him. 

Psalm 20:7
Some trust in chariots , and some in horses : but we will remember the name of the LORD our God .  

Prov 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart ; and lean not unto thine own understanding

Romans 8:21
What shall we then say to these things ? If God be for us , who can be against us ?  

Hebrews 10:36
For ye have need of patience , that , after ye have done the will of God , ye might receive the promise .

They have moved the old landmarks, (Proverbs 23:10)
The gates are wasted from the fire, (Nehemiah 1:3)
Theres no protection for the children,
Parents' feet stuck fast  in the mire

Flesh has become their arm, (Jeremiah 17:5)
Instead of seeking God for His will, (Romans 12:2)
They have lost their identity, (Genesis 1:27)
They were just too busy to wait and be still (Psalms 27:14)

The story repeats o'er and o'er,
The outcome just the same,
We need to be repairers of the breach, (Isaiah 58:12)
Glorifying His Holy Name!

The prince and power of the air, (Ephesians 2:2)
Cries out to satisfy,
All of your fleshly needs (I Peter 2:11)
All that you desire.

Seek those things that are real, (Matthew 6:20)
Things that never change,
Love, mercy, long suffering and truth
Through the sunshine and the rain.

Proverbs 23:10
Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:

Nehemiah 1:3
And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.

Jeremiah 17:5
Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.

Psalms 27:14

Ephesians 2:2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

I Peter 2:11
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Matthew 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:


Isaiah 58:12
 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

 He took out of the temple
The silver and the gold
He sent it to the king of Syria
Protection was what was sold

He could have sought the Lord
To protect and keep him safe
He trusted in his riches
What a big mistake!

The eyes of the Lord running to and fro
Throughout the whole earth
Looking for perfect hearts
And those that have true worth

If war is coming to you
And you know not what to do
Take the helmet of salvation
And the armor tried and true

Praying always, without ceasing
Upon your knees do stay
Our Lord is strong and mighty
He will move the enemy away!


II chr 16

His hand can do mighty works,
To those whom do believe, (Matthew 13:58)
No physical strength, nor worldly wisdom (Psalms 33:16)

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Look not behind thee
Escape for your life
The angels grabbed a hold of them
Lot, his daughters and his wife

They couldn't climb the mountains
That were up ahead
They begged for refuge in a city
The angels allowed them

But when the fire and brimstone fell
And the cities were brought to naught
Lot's wife had to turn around
Then she turned into a pillar of salt. (Genesis 19)

We must reach forward to apprehend
When we find ourselves in the dark
Not looking or turning back
Pressing towards the high mark
( Phillipians 3:13)

If the mountains seem too tall
Or the race seems hard to run
We must equip ourselves with patience
And keep our focus on the Son

What's with that thing on your head?

That was the awkward question an employee at the place where I get my van serviced  asked me today.  I actually dont get many questions, so it caught me a little off guard.  I told him about what Paul said in I Corinthians.  The thing most people don't realize it that most of our great grandmothers all wore head coverings.  If you go back a hundred years, you will also find surprisingly that women also covered their bodies.  Men still generally make it a point to uncover their heads as they enter a church

Prophecy fulfilled. I kings 13 and II kings 22

He found the book of the law
It told him what he would do
He set to work right away
He made it all come true

He had the law read aloud
To the  people young and old
They discovered their fathers sins
They decided to be bold

They would not continue in their sins
Would stop, cry out, repent
They removed the idols from the land
This was why King Josiah had been sent

To make The temple clean
Baal's stuff all up in flames
Idol alters broken down
The idol priests slain

Have you cleaned your house yet?
And Fulfilled the prophesy
Come out from among her?
Touch not the unclean thing?

Will you stand against the idols
And The sins of those before you
Immerse yourself in the Word
Let the power of God shine through

On a steep ravine
Getting closer to the fire
Clinging flat to the rock
Not falling is the desire

A close grip on the rock
Makes the climb more sure
The light is so powerful
Gives the strength to endure

Others there along the way
Are there to help the weak (Gal.6:2)
The young are holding fast the rock
They can almost see the peak

Remove the thorns along the way
So no distractions choke (Matt. 13:32)
A clear path is easier
When traveling through smoke

Our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29)
He that cometh to God must believe (Hebrews 11:6)
After ye have done the will of God, 
The promise you'll receive! (Hebrews 10:36)

The lust of The flesh
The lust of the eyes
Lord, take these away
And spare me from pride (I John 2:16)

The one thing I know
That I don't want to be
Someone higher than thou
-like that Pharisee (Luke 18:9 )
Who thought himself righteous
And better than others (Luke 18:11-12)
Lord let me live
A life that is humble.  ( Prov.22:4)

It is so easy to be tricked 
When you think your living right
I desire a pure heart (Psalms 24:4)
and all of God's might

O God, strengthen my hands (Nehemiah 6:9)
Keep my eyes upon thee (Psalms 25:15)
Help me  resist the evil
Cause the devil to flee (James 4:7)

I John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Luke 18:9 
And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 

Luke 18:11-12
 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 

Proverbs 22:4
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

Psalms 24:4
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Nehemiah 6:9
For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.

Psalms 25:15
Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
