What The World Knows Nothing Of...

Sometimes the sorrow for those who do not believe, love and obey God

is almost more than I can bear,

and lest misunderstood, I come across as having all the answers

and everything 'right', far from it!!

but the one/only answer I have right, is by the grace of God 

through the cross of Jesus Christ;

Gal.6:14

May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ,

through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Living Hope 

Golgotha

Fear, in this fallen world seeks to usurp faith, hope and trust

Without God’s Word to undergird, to guide, rebuke and cheer

How could we bear love’s cross of care or suffer what we must

But for the glory waiting in the Aftermath of here

Where the foothills of Heaven groan with sin, sorrow and strife

Where we, but brief sojourners because earth is but a vale

Need He who rolled away the stone from a tomb filled with Life

The life that will abide; even in death it will not fail

Ah, raise thy gaze above the worldly ways of wanton will

Cling to the sickle of God’s Word to keep thy conscience pure

And drink from the wellspring where Living Waters spill and spill

To sustain and refresh the soul committed to endure

…and tremble at His Word; pray for a spirit, poor, contrite

So, God will look on us and fill us with riches untold;

Green pastures and still waters to restore the soul’s delight

His perfect peace, his joy to be our strength, worth more than gold

Pray for this fallen world, mired in cesspools of despair

Ah pray for those who do not know the goodness of God’s love

That they may come to know He who laid mercy’s coffers bare

Upon the cross to offer what the world knows nothing of

By God's grace alone we are saved; a gift so none can boast

Shall we then continue in sin so His grace may abound

Shall we mock, as it were the One who gave His Uttermost

Oh, may it never be, when once lost, we are found

Surely, goodness and mercy will follow us all our days

Until we dwell with Him by whose resurrection, we live

Where we will never weary of perfecting worship's praise

As we look on Him whom we pierced, and He replied 'forgive'

John 11:25-26

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. 

Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies. 

26And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.

 Do you believe this?”

Isa.66:2

Has not my hand made all these things, 

and so they came into being?” declares the LORD.

 “These are the ones I look on with favor:

 those who are humble and contrite in spirit, 

and who tremble at my word.

At The Cross

For Athletes (in Life's Race)

Living in a culture bombarded with sensationalism and a buffet of distractions,

can subtly infiltrate our best intentions. 

On more than one occasion the small group I am part of from our local church 

ponders what living faithfully looks like...it always ultimately comes back to,

not what we do, but Who we do what for. 

The gift of salvation is free but comes with a cost;

to be a living sacrifice!

Rom.12:1

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters,

 in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, 

holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Matt.6:33

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, 

and all these things shall be added to you.

The prizes we pursue are subtly immersed

In what we think and say and do, then hence, who we seek first

For all the poise of words the voice of Choice transcends

The noise of speech, and undergirds what wordless proof defends

To keep perspective true and not fooled by fine lies

Begins with the important Who we put first in our lives

We need no script, well-versed, no proficient prowess

To humbly seek God’s kingdom first; to seek His righteousness

What better way to start the Unknown of Today

Than, with a yielded seeker’s heart, come what-so-ever-may

Then, as we strive toward tomorrow, pray we find

A dearer drive to love the Lord with heart, soul, strength and mind

We, athletes in life's race, are not judged for our speed

We trip and fall and all need God's patient grace to proceed  

But step by step, faith smiles where once more, morning dawns

For, step-by-step turns into miles, and miles to marathons

Until the finish line is crossed; the race complete

(to win this race at all cost is each life's most solemn fete)

To be faithful and true, with every gifted breath

To Jesus who loved/loves me and you, obedient to death 

God, rich in mercy grants redemption for our sins

And with each morning a fresh chance to run as one who wins

Greater is He in us, than all the world times ten

Then pray that we, through Jesus, shine as lights for Him. Amen.

© Janet Martin

1 Cor.9:24-27

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? 

Run in such a way that you may [i]obtain it. 

25And everyone who competes for the prize [j]is temperate in all things. 

Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 

26Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. 

Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air.

 27But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, 

when I have preached to others, 

I myself should become disqualified.

Divine Intervention

The Creator of all we marvel at is our Divine Intervener/Interceder! Hallelujah!

How oft despair would gain a fateful foothold in my thought (Ps.43:5)

His prophecy, to conquer death and hell; His victory

Has overthrown the grave because He braved His Father’s will (Luke 22:42)

His peace past understanding, (Phil.4:7) and His Mystery revealed (Col.1:26)

His all-sufficient grace (2Cor.12:9) to help us to trust and obey (Prov.3:5-6)

How oft despair could gain a dread-filled death grip on my heart (Ps. 42:5)

And draw me from the Well where Life’s undeterred waters brim (Isa.55:1)

But, God is rich in mercy (Eph.2:4) and He helps us do our part (Heb.13:6)

To deny self, take up His cross and humbly follow Him (Matt.16:24)

Lamentations 3:20

Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me.

His Word Will Stand

Thank God For Truth

 Tell Me the Old, Old Story

Thank God for faithful fathers

Who steadfastly uphold

The truth that does not falter

From age to age retold

Thank God for faithful mothers

Who teach children to pray

To love God and each other

To trust Him, and obey

Thank God for faithful children

Who love Him in their youth

Seeking firstly, His kingdom

Of righteousness and truth

Thank God for faithful foll’wers

Who do not doubt and stray

But bear truth’s torch so others

May find and know the Way

Thank God for Truth abiding

Divine and absolute

For those, rightly dividing

The word that yields good fruit

2 Tim.2:15

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God,

 a worker who does not need to be ashamed,

 rightly dividing the word of truth.

Two Words Like No Other...

Watching something can often rock us emotionally

rather than devotionally,

but I am praying as I watch The Chosen series,

it renews humble awe, love and devotion to Jesus who loves us so!!

Jesus calls Peter/us-The Chosen

(imagine if, at the cry for help from fisher(s of) men,

 we would run to their aid like Zebedee and the other two

 at 6:29-6:30)

Two words test and prove

 every feeling, desire, motive and love...

(pondering Peter today...as well as all true disciples)

Two words like no other

Alters consequence

Test’s devotion’s ardor

With obedience

Transcends mortal merit

Rejects worldliness

Guided by the Spirit

Rather than the flesh

Blessing beyond measure

Love’s humility

With a promised treasure

Faith cannot yet see

As, with motive fervent

It counts all but loss

Save to be a servant

Carrying a cross

To give Him the glory

He who with His blood

Wrote redemption's story

 Jesus, Son of God

Two words, kind and tender

Probes utter need where

 Only full surrender

Can His calling bear

…two words like no other

Charge eternity

Pray, how will we answer

Two words;

Follow Me

© Janet Martin

Matt.16:24-26

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me,

let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it,

but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world,

and loses his own soul?

Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus-Lydia Walker

Crowning Call

Dawn's glory crowns the earth like

hope's glory crowns our faith...

it rends the darkness!

God, would that we would hear

The call that crowns all calls

Then count no other cause more dear

No matter what befalls

God, would that we would heed

Your still small voice within

And take captive each thought and deed

That leads us into sin

God, would that we would love

You, heart, soul, strength and mind

Committed to what You approve

Through grace and truth combined

God, would that we would claim

Your gift that sets us free

Salvation in no other name

Save Christ of Calvary

And would that we would guard 

Against appeals, more sweet

Against what does not seem so hard

When other calls compete

 

But, with the joy of You

As hope and peace enthralls

Would that we would yield wholly to

The call that crowns all calls

Faithful until faith's glove

From deathless soul will fall

 Forever in the presence of

The final crowning call

© Janet Martin 

2 Cor.5:20-21

Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ,

 as though God were making His appeal through us. 

We implore you on behalf of Christ: 

Be reconciled to God. 

God made Him who knew no sin to be sinb on our behalf, 

so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

Take Time to be Holy

Brutal Truth

 

Lest we become complacent...

This poem was inspired again in part

 by an excerpt from the story of George Mueller...

Proverbs 28:13-17 KJV

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:

 But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Oh, the gravity of its depravity

The enormity of its deformity

The awfulness of its unlawfulness

As it dominates within

The subtleness of its brutal-ness

The evilness of vain promises

Of lies disguised, idolized and prized

This is the truth about sin

The pelf of stubborn selfishness

The stealth of Satan’s deadly steps

The guile of a vile, downward spiral

A wolf dressed in sheep skin

Danger and dire consequence

The liar daring providence

Unholy, rebellious ignorance

Mocker, smooth talker; sin

Hunger and thirst hopelessly cursed

Excuses soothed, me-first immersed

Self-righteous drivel at its worst

Pride’s beguiled, unbridled din

Deception’s uncontested will

Desire never quite fulfilled

Defilement, sensuous and skilled

Beware, oh, beware of sin

Unrepentance unrecognized

Hell’s curb appeal hailed, unapprised

Blind leading blind, applause-imbibed

Deaf to the toll within

Brutal refutal of wisdom astute

Pitiful, poisonous, ravenous root

Half-obedience-corrupted fruit

Horrible horror of sin

© Janet Martin

Romans 5:12-20

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15But the free gift is not like the [e]offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. 16And the gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment which came from one offense resulted in condemnation, but the free gift which came from many [f]offenses resulted in justification. 17For if by the one man’s [g]offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

18Therefore, as through [h]one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one[i] Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. 19For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

20Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What More Then, Do We Need?

Tis quite a thing to contemplate

The measure of love's price

It's law no one can mediate

To keep, or sacrifice

 Where what we sacrifice for Who

Tells who our allegiance is to

What joy when what is sacrificed 

 Turns loss to gain, when done for Christ 

***

He forgives our sins and remembers them no more!

What more do we need?

Isaiah 43:25
I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake

 and remembers your sins no more.

You discern thought’s intents

You look into the heart

Still, morning spills the evidence

Of mercies You impart

You lavish us with love

You keep us in Your care

Your Word, a wondrous treasure trove

Of wealth beyond compare

You hear us when we pray

Your light dispels dark doubt

Your grace sufficient, come what may

Your ways past finding out

You discern thought’s intents

You look into the heart

Still, morning spills the evidence

Of mercies You impart

Your well never runs dry

Where Living Waters roll

Your Bread of Life will satisfy

The hunger of the soul

Your Son died in our stead

One sacrifice for all

To free us from the curse that led

To hell after The Fall

Where blood of bull and ram

Could never pay sin’s price

Jesus, the only spotless Lamb

Fit for the sacrifice

What a gift we receive

You gave the best you had

So, all who repent and believe

May call you Abba-Dad

What more then, do we need

Where greed for gain runs wild

Your goodness is enough to feed

All who become Your child

You lavish us with love

You keep us in Your care

Our hope in You, more than enough

For every cross we bear

Where, when death runs us through

Death is not the last word

But simply the Grand Entrance to

Forever with You, Lord

What more then, can we say

You make our joy complete

As we press on toward That Day

When earth and Heaven meet 

Then, how awed we will be

All that we sacrificed

A pittance, as eternity

Consummates, All for Christ

John 1:12
But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name,

 He gave the right to become children of God--

Merciful Metamorphosis (or This Cross We Bear)

Without complete surrender we grapple

at times with the goodness of God's higher thoughts and ways!

Oh, may we pray to be like Abraham of old...

Romans 4:19-21,

"And being not weak in faith, he (Abraham) considered not his own body

 now dead when he was about a hundred years old, 

neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb. 

He staggered not at the promises of God; through unbelief;

 but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.

This cross we bear of constant care,

Of disciple-obedience

Of hurt and hope’s heart-hungry prayer

Of conscientious diligence

Of yielding Self’s determined will

And forsaking the world for Christ

To suffer for His sake until

Every idol is sacrificed…

…of walking as children of light

Living the way that Jesus did

(For we are precious in the sight

Of He from whom nothing is hid)

…of proving what is pleasing to

The One who gave His best for we

Cursed with the blight of Eden’s rue

Who benefit from Calvary

Our cross of care pales when compared

To the cross on Golgotha’s hill

Then pray no suffering is spared

Until love works its miracle

And He who sees the heart beholds

Refinement’s glory taking place

As beneath life’s cross God unfolds

Awestruck awareness of His grace

Eph.5:6-11

Let no one deceive you with empty words,

for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

7Therefore do not be partakers with them.

8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

Walk as children of light

9(for the fruit of the [b]Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

10finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,

but rather [c]expose them.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus...

Beneath the Cross (version 2)

To Cling, Rather Than Understand

If we relied only on what we understood we would all be atheists!🙏

Prov.3:5-7

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall [b]direct your paths.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;

Fear the Lord and depart from evil.

Deuteronomy 13:4

You shall follow the Lord your God and fear Him;

and you shall keep His commandments,

listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.

Psalm 63:7-8

For You are my help;

I will sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings.

My soul clings to You;

Your right hand upholds me.

Isa.41:10

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;

 I will strengthen you, I will help you, 

I will uphold you with my righteous right hand”

What waits we cannot tell. Lord, all that we would ask

Is for Your Spirit to compel and fit us for love’s task

To run with hope, no, fly! To rise on eagle’s wings

And bid humility reply while to Thy law hope clings

To find our rightful place within your counsel true

And to commit this day of grace and what it brings, to You

To repent of pride’s sin and yield our will and want

To You, rather than flounder in a world of futile taunt

To trust in You; not lean on sight-impeded ken

But to cling to what is Unseen, forevermore, amen

Then, with pure joy to know the peace Your love imparts

Your right hand on our shoulders and your Word within our hearts

What waits to try and test we do not know or see

But to cling to Your Promises seals our victory

To know, at your right hand are pleasures evermore

To cling, rather than understand, oh Lord, thus we implore 

Amen

Isa.40:30-31

Even youths grow tired and weary,

and young men stumble and fall.

But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength;

they will mount up with wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not faint.

Psalm 16:11

You will show me the path of life; 

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

 At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Cling To Christ

 

Judge of the Secrets of the Hearts of Men

For Your Name's Sake...

Unlike Queen Esther's husband, the Persian King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I), 

who, if any came into his inner court without being summoned, 

would be put to death, unless the king held out his golden scepter,

 The Kings of kings beckons all to 'come' 

because He came to break death's curse and bring us life 

and more abundantly!

His blood-wrought/bought scepter is stretched out to one and all!

What a high call and glorious purpose

is our freedom from slaves to sin/Satan, to servants of Christ!

Nearer, Still Nearer

  

More Love to Thee

For Your Name’s sake, help us take up our cross and follow You

And make love’s price of sacrifice an honor, meek and true

Kindle in us, Lord Jesus, faith’s vision, profound and keen

Of ‘substance of things hoped for, evidence of things unseen’

For Your Name’s Sake, Lord Jesus, wake in us the awesome sense

Of beckoning and reckoning; of Choice and Recompense

….and immense Aftermath; of grace or wrath’s eternal sum

(With blood-wrought streams, love’s scepter gleams and beckons all to ‘come’)

For Thy Name’s sake, Lord Jesus, make us more and more like Thee

Not vain, loud, proud, crowd-pleasers but full of humility

Thy pain and loss upon death’s cross our gain; You bore our shame

Forbid we boast save in love’s uttermost; Salvation’s Name

For Your Name’s Sake Lord Jesus, break the will that still resists

Open our eyes to want The Prize that some deny exists

Unclench the fist that clings to mist; with holy hunger wake

The sacred call to give our all for Your precious Name’s sake

Music To God's Ears

 

James 1:22

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

On Sunday mornings our recent messages

have been from the Book of James.

What a wonderful book full of wise counsel!

(And much to prick every conscience if we care about being more than hearers)

We all have in common the mercy that metes each new day...

and though our callings and circumstances vary...

(some days sweeter, cuter and tastier than others)

...we all are loved and will all give accountant to One God and Father of all.

Ephesians 4:6
One God and Father of all, who is above all, 

and through all, and in you all.

Not hearers only, Lord

Let the law of Thy Word

Be more than grace and truth outpoured

But leaves the heart unstirred

As we hear, Lord, I pray

We heed Thy Spirit’s woo

So everything we do and say

Will bring glory to You

Where love abounds until

Our Self is crucified

Content to trust Thy Word and will

With nothing else beside

If we ask, you will give

If we seek, we will find

If we knock You will come to live

In faith’s heart, soul and mind

Then hope and joy and peace

Become reality

As word and deed yield love’s increase

‘Not I, but Christ in Me’

What music to God's ears

When His children obey

Then He, Who Is The Word appears

In what we do and say 

© Janet Martin

What music to a parents 'ears'/eyes, when we see our children take

loving counsel to heart...

 how ever much more our Heavenly Father!

All God's Creatures Have A Place in the Choir

Psalm 100

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

3 Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his[a];

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Love, or the Lack Thereof...

Jesus, Strong and Kind

Clash of wills when expectations don’t see eye to eye

Word that kills, when untamed tongue wounds with spite’s quick reply

Cup that overflows with sorrow when love is not kind

When love does not ‘suffer long’, with Other first in mind

Hunger is a heart-shaped hollow; want unsatisfied

When we cannot seem to swallow self-important pride

When we find no creature comfort in love’s common test

…of so much to learn about love’s good, better and best

Gentle joy and sweet contentment are love’s fruits, my dear

When forgiveness, not resentment keeps the conscience clear

When the welfare of another sets thought’s tender tone

Aware we leave either stumbling block or stepping stone

To love as we ought to, is impossible to do

Without the example of Love’s Author, kind and true

He is slow to anger, rich in mercy, gracious, good

What a way to live; to love each other as we should

God, who gave the Best He had because He loves us so

Does not leave as helpless, hopeless; by His grace we go

As His love pours through us it transforms wrong attitude

Until all that remains is love's law of gratitude

There Is One Gospel

Psalm 145:8-9

The LORD is gracious and compassionate,

slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion.

9The LORD is good to all;

His compassion rests on all He has made.

Awed Altar-call

Countless crowds throng beaches the world over, 

where front-row, no-charge seating to the greatest show on earth,

 draws young and old to behold the heaven's declaring the glory of God..

Psalm 19:1-4

The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

2Day after day they pour forth speech;

night after night they reveal knowledge.

3Without speech or language,

without a sound to be heard,a

4their voiceb has gone out into all the earth,

their words to the ends of the world.c

Romans 1:19-20

For what may be known about God is plain to them, 

because God has made it plain to them.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities, 

His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, 

being understood from His workmanship, 

so that men are without excuse.

...hopefully an awesome awareness of  'No Excuse' 

kindles in our hearts and souls a kind of altar-call

to recommit our wants and ways to the Creator of the world 

and everything/everyone in it! 

In His Word we find everything we need

to restore our souls and

to lead us in 'path's of righteousness'!

Come, Holy Spirit kindle, through the power of Thy Word

A fire of desire to labour for Thee, O Lord

For Thou art near and dearly with each soul who seeks Thy will

Who strives with earnest diligence faith’s calling to fulfill

Lord, let our love for Thee and not the world, consume this clay

Thou, who dost not lead us into temptation or astray

Thou, Invisible, and yet whose qualities are unfurled

In sky and land and sea since the creation of the world

…so that all are without excuse; the universal tongue

Of the heavens declares thy glory to both old and young

Day after day, night after night without language or speech

To the ends of the earth, not one escapes the heavens reach

Lord, come what may, let love abound amidst adversity

For thou wilt keep in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee

Our Father who art in heaven, Thy kind goodness grants

Sufficient grace to help us face and bear the circumstance

Lord, wake in us an earnest ache Thy glory to behold

Let Thy cause be the constant sake that draws and fills faith’s mold

Until we see thee face to face forever to proclaim

Thy praises for the gift of salvation found through Thy name
