Poem - The great Silence

At last the day has come
The day of judgement and weighing 
Nevertheless a doubt would come
I'm doomed if would be judged
God sat on the throne
Ornamented with precious stones
All men of all race
Stood infront, Adam to me

How huge the sea was,
Sea of not waves and water
But of sin, lust and greed
In full form of manhood
Wondered all, what's happening
Some bereaved,  some peaceful
Some yet wondering, what to do next
Mixed emotions could I see.

A huge thundering voice was heard
Corners of the earth, it shook
"Given I each of you a span of life 
To live in the beaitiful earth I created
To tend it, to mend it
To nurture it, to value relations,
To love each other
Come now to weigh your deeds, 
To the judgement throne"

By the score ad-lib and off the cub
Formed groups, unhappy arrogant and with closed fists
Frowning and looking at each other
And to the throne, with resentment
Complaints raised, accusations came of the bar
To the one not to be questioned
Lend me your ears
To one such insurgent group.

"Where was he when they tortured us
Robbed us and raped us
Where was he when we suffered
And when they mocked us and spat on our face
Called us insane, called us illegitimate
Persecuted us and proclaimed us slaves"
This their altercation was
Their discontentment forged higher.

" No right has He to judge us
He sits on the throne above 
And dictates right and wrong
Sits there comfortable to rule us
No harm, no starvation, no poverty
No accusations, no injustice
No problems, no troubles
Still he says I'll judge you?"

Leaders did meet together
Prepare they did a notation
Decide they did to submit it to him
They gathered to fight for their cause

"Let God face our problems
Let God be born in a poor family
Let Him be called fatherless
Let others doubt his legitimacy
Let God suffer starvation
Let him suffer for nothing
Let him be homeless
Let him have no place to sleep
Let others call him insane
Let him be misunderstood
Let people turn against him
Even though he didn't mean any harm.
Let him be called a liar
Even though his intentions were pure
Let him suffer and be tortured
Then has he the right to judge us"

"Then he understands why we sin.
Then he knows our plight
And pardon would he and declare
No judgment be passed."
Yet their hands trembled
Their knees bowed
Their eyes couldn't stand the bright light
That shone from the holy throne

He read the memo.
Then there was a great silence
When He said,
"That was what my Son had to go through"

Name

But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved Joel:2:32 In His name there is salvation. And if you call on His name you will be saved for sure.  Jesus.  Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the end.  In Him and through Him and for Him everything was created.  Son of God.  Son of David.  Root of Jesse.  Lion of Judah. The Lamb who was slain.  In His name there is freedom. In His name there is deliverance.  Why?  Because He alone has done the redemptive act on the cross. No other name could do that. Sinless perfect lamb of God became a sin offering instead of me.  He alone is worthy to do that. Therefore His name frees. His name delivers. His name saves. Jesus.  Image credit:   https://www.photoland.in/product/wood-arts/wooden-name-plate/personalized-name-board-name-plate-wooden-engraved-name-plate-design-10/

Keep your promise forever

Ps:146:6 He keeps every promise forever.  Everyone loves promises. It is even more beautiful when the promise is fulfilled.  God is a God of promises and He is faithful. What He promises He always fulfills. Not even one goes wayward.  There is no doubt about the general promises He makes in the Bible. One by one we see them fulfilled through the story of Israel and early church.  There are enough and more personal promises which are staring at you face on. He is faithful to fulfill all of them too forever. It is upto us to believe and live a peaceful life trusting in the One who called us. Rather than like a high tension wire, ready to snap.  Can we believe - He will take care. He is enough. He is sufficient. He is faithful. He never changes. He will not sleep nor will He slumber. He keeps His promises forever. Amen.  Image credit:  https://everydaypower.com/promise-quotes/

Rain

For the rain He sends demonstrates His faithfulness Joel:2:23 The rain keeps coming. Season after season. Showers of blessings. Not mercy drops. It proves He is a good God. He is fully in control. He cares for us.  We can see rains as either a curse or as a blessing. How we see it and acknowledge it increases our faith to Him who is faithful. He continues to shower His blessings no matter what the circumstances are. For He is always good. He is always merciful. He is always faithful. Open our eyes and see.  Image credit:  https://www.britannica.com/science/rain

RRRR

Obadiah 20-21 As Edom receives all punishments, Israel is blessed. Israel is chosen to come back from exile. From the ends of the earth, they are called back into God's bosom.  They -  Return Resettle Rescued Rule Not because they repented and came back to the Lord. Even before they repented, He paved the way back. The door was already kept open for coming back. The choice had to be made though for them to actually return, to resettle, to be rescued, to rule. They had to make that choice. Yet the road was already set to accept them back. There was no uncertainty whether God would allow.  The cross has already paved the way, the ship has already been set for return, for bringing them back. But I have to board the ship. If I don't, the loss is all mine. The ship with all its aboard passengers will sail to the  promised shore, for sure.  Jesus is calling- to return, to resettle, to be rescued and to rule. Will you accept?  Image credit:  https://www.wsj.com/articles/cr

When you don't have anything else to do......

In the fish's belly Jonah was there for three days and three nights. In that dark place, he could only look to God. He could not run away, which he was so specialized in. He couldn't do anything else which he was an expert. He couldn't do anything he wanted to desperately do. All he could do was to sit in God's presence.  Sometimes God places you in circumstances where you can only pray. You can do nothing else. And at that time, please pray. Do not try to do anything else. Even if you do not feel like praying, that is the time when you are supposed to. Helpless as you are, you can open up to your Father. Words do not matter at that time. Even a drop of tear is enough. You might not be a prolific pray-er. But remember the Father is always listening.  Image credit:  https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/man-praying-on-knees

Damascus

O Damascus. You have sinned again and again. You have bet down my people in Gilead. You have threshed the grains with iron sledges (Amos:1:3). You have been cruel. You have been rebellious.  But in that road to you O Damascus. I will raise up my most used servant. He himself had tortured my own children, my own church. But I will give one opportunity which he cannot resist. Instead of the blood he shed, I will enable him to win souls for me. In that road to you, O Damascus, the cruel Saul will become the gentiles' Paul.  Through you O Damascus I will prove yet again that my hand is not too short to rescue anyone whom I want to save. No pit is too dark that I can't go there to redeem. The cross is the reason. The world will know, O Damascus through you. You will know, O Damascus because of the change you will see in yourself.  Through you O Damascus, everyone will see that the worst of sin that they have committed will be forgiven. No matter how dirty they are, they

Delight

Ps:147:11 The Lord's delight is in those who fear Him If you delight in Him, He will delight in you. Oh! Is it like tit for tat?  No dear bard! He has already delighted in you. He has loved you while you were still His enemies. You are mine He declares. You are His signet ring, He proclaims.  Not because you fear Him. Not because He foreknew you would fear Him. But because He loves. Hosea was asked to marry a harlot and he continued to love her despite her unfaithfulness. Just like He continues to delight in you oh! Bard despite your persistance and adamancy. Oh! What love. Where else can you find such love.  Image credit:  https://butternutbakeryblog.com/moist-chocolate-cake/
