A gorgeous autumn Monday morning!
When the LORD smelled the pleasing aroma, He said in His heart,
“Never again will I curse the ground because of man,
even though every inclination of his heart is evil from his youth.
And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.
"As long as the earth endures,
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat,
summer and winter,
day and night
will never cease."
Gen.8:21-22
God’s mercy melts night’s crepuscule,
His glory rends the raven tulle
Where push and pull of Duty’s Plow
Resumes its charge of Here and Now
Our hands were made to work, it seems
Our hearts are weighed with hopes and dreams
Our days are numbered, none can sway
The will of He who grants each day
Our lives are cupped in Perfect Love
God’s grace supplies more than enough
To author joy no matter what
May vex the barriers of thought
God’s power is in full control
In spite of time’s tumultuous toll
To prove the intent of the heart
So selfish from the very start
God’s Son died to birth Living Hope
Salvation is man’s means to cope
With suffering; humility
Does not dispute God’s deity
His faithfulness fuels dawn’s gold
That we, altogether behold
Whether we believe or deny
The Creator of earth and sky
God’s mercy metes another day
Ah, will we seize it yet not pray?
Where we are all partakers of
His kindness, compassion and love
