While We Feel Oh, So Little (in the Grand Scheme of Today)

How and what ,wherever-in-the-world-you-are, are you doing today? 

Snow-lovers are getting their cups of happiness filled to overflowing the past few days!

Due to all this 'happiness' no kiddos today...

 My head wanted a poem about snow but

 another Whisper usurped...

 Are we in God's Word?

If not, how much  ALL we miss!

 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. 

And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence 

 and the hope of which we boast.

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: 

“Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts..."

Heb.3:6-8

While we feel oh, so little in the Grand Scheme of Today

Our Father up in Heaven hears each earnest prayer we pray

Then, as we entrust heart’s desires to Hope’s Advocate

What seemed so small becomes a Powerhouse of humble faith

Love’s divine intervention we oft do not recognize

As He draws strayed attention to the grave-ness of The Prize

Our Father up in Heaven, pray we do not disregard

Your Voice until our hearts become indifferent and hard

The death of a believer sometimes precedes the cold grave

When the Deceiver succeeds in making someone sight’s slave

But sight is the opponent to the fight that faith empowers

Our Father up in Heaven’s ways do not cater to ours

The God of love bids us believe; the devil bids us doubt

The God of love bids us receive what none dare die without

How pitiful is the perception of the naked eye

I AM can never be contained in cups thought could descry

The ellipses that gather day by day then year by year

Final exhale eclipses then the Unseen will appear

Then all that fueled argument and hope will be made plain

In the Beginning IS the Word that will forever reign

 Acts 28:23-27

  They arranged to meet Paul on a certain day, 

and came in even larger numbers to the place where he was staying. 

He witnessed to them from morning till evening, explaining about the kingdom of God, 

and from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets he tried to persuade them about Jesus.  

 Some were convinced by what he said, but others would not believe.  

 They disagreed among themselves and began to leave after Paul had made this final statement:

 “The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your ancestors when he said through Isaiah the prophet:

 “‘Go to this people and say,
“You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
    you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.” 

 For this people’s heart has become calloused;
    they hardly hear with their ears,
    and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears,
    understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.’^[a]
