A blight
upon your Most Holy name
I do not intend or desire.
To be exemplary
in imperfection. Trying
ultimately
to succeed.
Higher than my flaws pronounced I aspire
as a mist rises to evaporate
softly under a warming gaze of a brilliant sun.
Inspired, I am, by a love of mountainous magnitude
covered in snow, then melting
to water lilies, sprigs of lilacs, daffodils swaying
in unified solitude.
A love not by me truly comprehended
as I fear reaping your righteous ire... But let me not forget
please
in a secret place, calm and quiet
I must daily reflect
upon all moments
in which you did me lovingly protect.
Appreciation I gained:
“You are my refuge and my stronghold,
My God in whom I trust.” When thrust into a mire like Jeremiah.
Sinking into a darkness, terrifying.
Praying to you, Father, 'incessantly'.
Then extracted carefully
from wicked clutches
like those traps of a 'birdcatcher'
designed to lure, then snatch from a secure space--
under your pinions.
Your wings spread to shield me from a coldness
which pierces unguarded precious skin.
A treasured pleasure to eternally maintain
I cherish sincerely from my heart touched
from within your shadow.
Although not promised a physical tomorrow
as this world twirls us endlessly in sorrow
empowered I am to courageous be
before enemies lined to frighten me
from my faithfulness. From my integrity... Spiritually strong.
Behind your secured wall I belong.
I pray to "not fear the terrors of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Nor the pestilence that stalks in the gloom,
Nor the destruction that ravages at midday."
Independently away from you may I never stray; fly.
Where does there exist any truer blue peaceful sky
than under your rulership?... Across multitudinous spans of generations flown in reverse
are known 'integrity-keepers' imperfect
still cuddled in God's memory for a joyful rebirth
because, Him, they did not cowardly deny.
They fled philosophies which divide.
Or arrogance, lack of humility, when promoted
non-tolerant racial pride.
Yes, under your wings block me from caustic words
that strip one of dignity. In spitefulness, deride. As you many faithful others did spiritually hide.
Never let me lose my love for you.
Lead me by your spirit, your angels too
through this wilderness expanding to include
babies, children, young adults who
are taught to believe that You do not exist
as they transverse your earth
still proclaiming your Sovereignty
within creations wondrous
daily to exude beauty beyond human capabilities or aptitudes.
Teach me to forever revere your Word. Helping others to observe it whole-heartedly. To overcome worldly, God-dishonoring attitudes.
Keep me hidden
in your secret place, Jah.
Do not let my actions
Your name disgrace
with promotions of worthless platitudes.
Psalm 91
contest Ask for a Psalm! - Littlefox1970
Lesson for Us: Psalm 91 highlights another reason we have for blessing Jehovah—“the secret place of the Most High.” (Verse 1 of Ps 91) It is a place of spiritual security, of protection from spiritual harm, for those who fulfill the requirements set out in this psalm. It is “secret” in that it is unknown to people of the world, who lack spiritual vision. The fact that it is the secret place “of the Most High” indicates that only if we uphold Jehovah’s side of the issue of universal sovereignty will we find security there. © 2 days ago, Lucretia Mccloud family • friendship • hope • love • spiritual

What Supreme King
Exists as He
Who Loves Righteousness
Honor
Dignity
Justice
To a trillionth degree?
At the expense of His beloved Son
First a prince, but now enthroned
Because of his love too of holiness.
His faithfulness winning his Father's eternal favor.
Upon Christ a glory of unsurpassing honor
Bestowed. To the universe unknown.
A splendor of greatness
This world of fallen stars
In heavens encompassing darkness
Revolving like scenes from an ever expanding
Blood-dripping demonic Halloween
Has never seen. Before
Never known.
"But the loyal love of Jehovah is for all eternity
Toward those who fear him,
And his righteousness toward their children’s children"
They too can see. Ps. 103:7.
For although Jah's mercy expressed
Is beyond our complete conception
And only a tip of His light can we perceive
Unless we stop and stay in meditation
Before each ascending dawn or sunset lovely
Think upon them,
Their awesomeness of qualities
Unselfishly to us of sinful humanity
Mercifully shown
We can still come to love them
In righteous loyalty
Spinning endlessly our earth
Not lost
In space
Among galaxies spectacular
Into a future where time is not thought upon.
Rush is not a need.
Where love is a brotherhood embracing
While life is a leisurely working
Luxury. In love globally sown.
Then in happy understanding
Agreed:
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So great is his loyal love toward those who fear him."
For,
"As far off as the sunrise is from the sunset,
So far off from us he has put our transgressions.
As a father shows mercy to his sons,
Jehovah has shown mercy to those who fear him.
For he well knows how we are formed,
Remembering that we are dust."
For now to death we are relegated
As mentioned by a psalmist inspired
Who stated:
"As for mortal man, his days are like those of grass;
He blooms like a blossom of the field.
But when a wind blows, it is no more,
As though it was never there." Ps. 103:10-17.
Yet promised a resurrection
In the manner of Christ to heaven
Or in the likeness of one of Elijah's miracles
Done to a widow's son. Restored
To a loving home and his mother's care.
Prophesied:
"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". John 5:28 29.
Is not this admonition
Finally
Justly

What it's all about
Why we this message dutifully share:
"The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is:
Fear the true God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole Obligation of man.
For the true God will judge every deed,
Including every hidden thing, as to whether it is good or bad." Eccl. 12:12, 13.
"Then men will say:
“Surely there is a reward for the righteous.
There is indeed a God who judges in the earth.” Ps. 58:11.
Who will endlessly be there to help you
To never
See
The end of your days.
Yes! All survivors
To Him in praises
To ring out:
"Sing to Jehovah a new song,
For he has done wonderful things.
His right hand, his holy arm, has brought about salvation.
Jehovah has made known his salvation;
He has revealed his righteousness before the nations.
He has remembered his loyal love and faithfulness to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God.
Shout in triumph to Jehovah, all the earth.
Be cheerful and shout joyfully and sing praises.
Sing praises to Jehovah with the harp,
With the harp and the melodious song.
With the trumpets and the sound of the horn,
Shout in triumph before the King, Jehovah.
Let the sea thunder and all that fills it,
The earth and those dwelling in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands;
Let the mountains shout joyfully together
Before Jehovah, for he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the inhabited earth with righteousness
And the peoples with fairness." Ps. 98.
Shall we not now
In faithfulness to Him

I have walked before you faithfully and with a complete heart.—2 Ki. 20:3.
Being imperfect, we are prone to make mistakes. Thankfully, though, Jehovah does not deal with us “according to our sins,” provided that we are repentant and in faith approach him humbly on the basis of Jesus’ ransom sacrifice. (Ps. 103:10) Yet, as David told Solomon, for our daily worship to be acceptable to Jehovah, we have to “serve him with a complete heart.” (1 Chron. 28:9) Serving God with “a complete heart” involves full devotion that does not end. In the Bible, the word “heart” usually refers to a man’s inner self. It encompasses his desires, thinking, disposition, attitudes, abilities, motivations, and goals. So a person who serves Jehovah with his whole heart does not just go through the motions of worshipping Jehovah. What about us? Well, if we, though being imperfect humans, continue to be fully devoted to God without hypocrisy, we will be serving God with a complete heart.—2 Chron. 19:9. w17.03 3:1, 3 © an hour ago, Lucretia Mccloud family• friendship • hope • love • spiritual

As a chain in hand

bent over
in a place where this dragon,
who dragged 'a third of the stars'
from heaven to earth
to under his direction
in loyalty obey
because of an ardent erotic deflection:
For, "the sons of the true God continued to have relations with the daughters of men, and these bore sons to them. They were the mighty ones of old times, the men of fame." Gen. 6:4.
"So down the great dragon was hurled,
the original serpent,
the one called Devil and Satan,
who is misleading the entire inhabited earth;
he was hurled down to the earth,
and his angels were hurled down with him." Rev. 12:9.
Cohorts
to with imperfect senses distort
to wickedly play
with this world under his influence
his corrupt rulership. For, "the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one." 1 John 5:19.
And this majority to his forest

Also, this serpent uses the above-mentioned 'she'
riding a 'ten-horned' beast until her fatal calamity

of rightfulness to eternity

with a 'suit of armor' quickly adorn
to protect our hearts, our loins,

as commanded:
"Put on the complete suit of armor from God
so that you may be able to stand firm against the crafty acts of the Devil". Eph. 6:11.
Shall we 'gird up' to ride
as admonished:
"But all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones." 1 Peter 5:5.
with meek ones join

“But my righteous one will live by reason of faith,”
and “if he shrinks back, I have no pleasure in him.”
Now we are not the sort who shrink back to destruction,
but the sort who have faith for the preserving of our lives." Hebrews 10:38, 39.
as soldiers of truth

of an angelic army
lead by a Mighty King
charging on behalf of The Almighty:
"Now there is a judging of this world;
now the ruler of this world will be cast out." John 12:31.
of this earth
for justice and obedient mankind
salvation to bring
perfection to humans willing
eternal to stay?
Then we must: “Get out of her, my people,
if you do not want to share with her in her sins,
and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues." Revelation 18:4.
"For you yourselves know very well that Jehovah’s day is coming exactly as a thief in the night.
Whenever it is that they are saying, “Peace and security!” then sudden destruction is to be instantly on them, just like birth pains on a pregnant woman,
and they will by no means escape." 1 Thess. 5:2, 3.
So all his servants
without delay
must heed the warning of this prophecy:
"Gather together, yes, gather yourselves,
O nation that feels no shame.
Before the decree takes effect,
Before the day passes by like chaff,
Before the burning anger of Jehovah comes upon you,
Before the day of Jehovah’s anger comes upon you,
Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth,
Who observe his righteous decrees.
Seek righteousness, seek meekness.
Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah’s anger." Zeph. 2:1-3.
Salvation dependent upon one's complete devotion
to Jah's Righteous Soveignty.
As a bird soars
to heights beyond our simple eye
yes, even into our brilliant sunny skies
with clouds billowy suddenly converted into
cumulus
as many know
how clouds
produce
dew, a torrent,
a slight drizzle
which various individuals
day or night
enjoy strolling through
His Word
as a magnificent eagle flies.
Isaiah, himself,
could not humanly deny
this proven fact:
"So my word that goes out of my mouth will be.
It will not return to me without results,
But it will certainly accomplish whatever is my delight,
And it will have sure success in what I send it to do." Isa. 55:11.
It's authenticity
deliciously comprised
as Elihu to Job did reply:
“Listen to my words, you who are wise;
Hear me, you who know so much.
For the ear tests words
Just as the tongue tastes food." Job 34:2, 3.
of what Job made to
of marvelous nature observe:
“At this my heart pounds
And leaps from its place.
Listen carefully to the rumbling of his voice
And the thunder that comes from his mouth.
He unleashes it under the entire heavens
And sends his lightning to the ends of the earth.
After that is a roaring sound;
He thunders with a majestic voice,
And he does not hold it back when his voice is heard.
God thunders with his voice in a wonderful way;
He does great things that are beyond our understanding.
For he says to the snow, ‘Fall to the earth,’
And to the downpour of rain, ‘Pour down mightily.’" {Job 37:1-6.)
Then of prophecies amazingly fulfilled:
since "God is not a mere man who tells lies,
Nor a son of man who changes his mind.
When he says something, will he not do it?
When he speaks, will he not carry it out?" Numbers 23:19.
Stated, His Will:
"I am calling a bird of prey from the sunrise,
From a distant land the man to carry out my decision.
I have spoken, and I will bring it about.
I have purposed it, and I will also carry it out." Isaiah 46:11.
"By myself I have sworn;
The word has gone out of my mouth in righteousness,
And it will not return:
To me every knee will bend,
Every tongue will swear loyalty". Isaiah 45:23.
Jah Jehovah did, Himself, decree.
As The Almighty
"Jehovah does everything he pleases to do
In heaven and on earth, in the seas
and all the depths." Psalm 135:6.
Said He: "From the beginning I foretell the outcome,
And from long ago the things that have not yet been done.
I say, ‘My decision will stand,
And I will do whatever I please.’" Isaiah 46:10.
And just what desire of His
will obedient mankind eventually eternally comply?
“Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it,
and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.” Genesis 1:28.
Soon fulfillment of this prophetic word:
“Look!
The tent of God is with mankind,
and he will reside with them,
and they will be his people.
And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes,
and death will be no more,
neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.
The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:3, 4.
Aren't you happy to be living during the coming event
of this most blessed day
When He'll "wipe out every" painful "tear from their eyes" due to suffering from human imperfection cried?
