Idols made in days of old
Carved and formed by the
hand
Today created in the mind
A focus on things
of man
What will I do tomorrow?
or
I have to have that thing!
Spending time
thinking lustily
To see what this world may
bring
But it shouldn't be that
way!
Every thought should be on Him
Seeking out
a way to rest in God and
Fully trust whatever he
sends
Take no thought for
tomorrow
The morrow shall take thought for the things of itself
(Matt 6:34)
Put all your strength towards serving
God
And keep your Bible off the shelf!

"By strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place"
Ex 13:14
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn
God commanded Moses that day,
They were departing out of Egypt
The Lord would guide the way.
Pharaoh had lost his firstborn
Because God hardened his heart
After seeing all the miracles,
He wouldn't let the Israelites depart
But now, things were different
And they were on their way
Their loins girded and shoes on
This was the day!
Moses told them to remember
In the years that were to come
As a sign upon their hands
All the things The Lord had done
With the Lord's law in their mouth
And a memorial between their eyes
To teach it to their sons
That in The Lord, their strength lies
He has done the same for us,
Do we tell our children every day?
How He freed us from our bondage
And helped us find the way.

Prove thy servants, I beseech thee
For ten days , let us feed
On pulse, instead of meat
And water, let us drink
Daniel and the Hebrew servants,
Stood out different from the rest
They didn't want the luxuries
Their countenances were the test
After 10 days of the basics
While the others had enjoyed the feasts,
The Hebrews' were fairer and fatter
They weren't skinny in the least (Daniel 1)
They were able to withhold
From the pleasures they could see (Hebrews 11:26)
They wanted better things
Holy they would be! (I Peter 1:16)
They found their strength in God (Hosea 12:3)
And endured the test of time (Matt 24:13)
In the midst of a strange kingdom (Hebrews 11:13)
Through the fire and amongst the lions (Hebrews 11:33-34)
(Hebrews 11:26) (Moses)
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.
I Peter 1:16
Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
Hosea 12:3
((Jacob) He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
Matt 24:13
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Hebrews 11:13
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hebrews 11:33-34
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Ahaz took from the temple
All the silver and the gold
To send to the king of Assyria
For protection of his home
He saw an idol altar
On his way to meet this king,
He wrote down its description
He had to have one like that thing
His priest made it right away
He put it in the "old ones" place
Starting making offerings
A few times everyday
Does God want our altars and offerings
Mingled in the fashion of this world?
Didn't he specify His designs
And want them followed and understood?
All of his plans and designs
Are found in His great book
If you seek, you will find
You must take a look!

Keep this day
Remember every year
Send portions to all
Of your enemies, do not fear
They looked as though they'd destroy you
On the appointed day
Things got turned around on them
God provided an escape
This day you'll remember
As a day that you have rest
From striving with your enemies
Now you can give God your best
I wish this hadn't happened
You may say to yourself
If life was always good it be easier
Without the trials and tests
If life is always perfect
You won't have a chance to grow
If Surprises don't pop up
How you'd react, you don't know
The trying of your faith worketh patience
In patience, possess ye your souls
You must be able to endure to the end
This trying is more precious than gold

Joshua has lived his years
Now he is put to rest
Israel's enemies start rising up
To put them to the test
Would the tribes be strong
Utterly destroy the enemy
Would they leave a remnant
Would they turn and flee?
God made a covenant with them
Brought them Across the Red Sea
God wanted them to stay separate
Not become like their enemies
God wants the same thing
From your family today
He wants your undivided love
Someone who will watch and pray
He doesn't want you bowing down
Like the idolaters all around you
He wants devoted followers
When He returns, in Him will you be found?

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
Wisdom crieth in the streets (Prov 1)
To make the Lords will known
And those who will not listen
Get wrapped up in their worldly home
Take no thought for tomorrow (Matt 6:43)
You know not what the day may bring (James 4:14)
Your life is like a vapor
Eternal life is everything!
Like a treasure in a field
Giving up everything for it (Matthew 13:44)
Seek ye first the kingdom (Matt 6:33)
Is the way you must begin
" I know what the Bible says
However, this is what we do"
Will not be a sufficient excuse
When this life is over for you
"Lord, Lord "will be the cry
I never knew you - He will say (Matt 7:21)
Those who do the Father's will
Are the ones who'll find the way
All the "strongholds" of this life
Will not stand the test of time
Like ripe figs on a tree
They will fall when shook just right (Nahum 3:12)
Matthew 6:43
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
James 4:14
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Matthew 13:44
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Matt 6:44
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Nahum 3:12
All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin
Matt 7:21
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
I John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
I John 4:23
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
