How can they co-exist?

How can they co-exist,
with the rhetoric toxic,
language of genocide
boiling on both sides?
 
Amalek and his progeny,
children becoming martyrs,
a population excited
by the terror unleashed.
 
Awful choices only
genocide or capitulation,
war endless, unending,
blood in the streets…

From the river to the sea – v2 #Israel #Palestine

A customer in my store,
his arm enflamed, swollen,
A new tattoo present,
speaking across the miles
of a single answer…
 
Or a single-state solution
the map inverted, reverted,
No more State of Israel,
Palestine, from the river to the sea.
 
A one-state solution,
a present outline only
Words scribed with the image,
no West Bank, no Gaza Strip,
just Israel, All Israel…
 
No room for compromise,
for a two-state solution,
Two sides bent on genocide,
wanting the other dead.

You fight for me – v2

Lord, please still me,
may I submit, may I be open,
may I hear Your Word,
Your call upon my life.
 
You fight for me,
in my battles, in my struggles,
with me where I am now
and where I am going.
 
Lord, give me peace,
in this time, this season,
lead me to stillness, to quiet,
to faith, my trust in You.

#Listen to #God

Listen to God,
to His still small voice,
the Spirit speaking to us,
now, even now.
 
Listen to God,
for His direction,
for His calling,
for His purpose now.
 
Listen to God,
heed God’s whisper,
follow the path,
of the risen Christ.
 
Listen to God,
for God is speaking,
calling each of us,
to follow His way.

Living a life undisciplined – v3

Living a life undisciplined,
inner dialogue shattered,
no self-control, no off switch,
fear in the mixture, unraveled…
 
Too many tabs open, impulsive,
victim of abuse, of bullying,
screaming, pushing back,
passive aggressive, lashing out...
 
Wanting control in the chaos,
noise, order where there is none,
afraid to battle the demons,
to stand on faith, defiant, certain…
 
Focused, not scattered, planning,
with our time, our talents, our treasure,
mapping a way through valleys,
to God, to the mountaintops...

Even when I am Blind – v2

Help me Lord to trust, to have Faith,
even when I am Blind, when I am unsure,
even when I don't see Your Path;
Help me to surrender, to be faithful,
to submit to Your Will, Your Way,
Help me, I beseech Thee,
Lord, Guide me today.
 
Amen
