morning tea with God
prayerful conversation
listen to the Word
vital act of devotion
Spirit speaks into my life
Linking to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai‘s final post for month of pilgrimage…”an act of devotion”

Skeptical about the Bible? Try reading one of the New Testament gospels, the book of John. We all have questions! See post by former agnostic, The Sylvr Pen.
diversified volumes form unique collection
library referenced by love’s common theme
more than mere letters forming words
more than simply words on a page
voluminous, luminous top-selling tome of
truth verified on authority of one true author
a long-ago breathed, still breathing book
a living letter made alive by the lord of life
logos, the Word made flesh, God himself
fleshed out in gracious words of his son
sword of spirit that pierces mind and soul
cuts through deceit, defends against evil one
map to precious treasure of kingdom is not
to be pirated or buried but diligently studied
spill the treasure out to be spent by beggars
memorize the map to find the only way home

morning prayer time
empty mind of distraction
study ancient Word
quiet my soul like weaned child
leaning on my Father’s chest

3 Day/3 Quote Challenge: People celebrate Halloween but many have forgotten that October 31 is Reformation Day for the Church. So I will post a series of quotes by Protestant Reformers. What a blessed “captivity”!

Jesus is healer
his word is “panpharmacon
– salve for every sore”
whatever the affliction
no matter the addiction

I have privilege of hosting dVerse poetics today with theme of “The Watchman” Won’t you join us?
go, set a watchman!
sheep herder found
high cave by sound
of stone tossed far,
heard crashing jar
held ancient scroll
preserved the whole
of Isaiah’s book
world scholars look
in prophecy
fulfilled it be
truth revealed
for all who see.
Isaiah penned
God’s script for men:
walk in my ways
be blessed your days.
he is just as he is good,
his timely words
our living food.
Deo volente,
we live, we breathe;
list watchman’s call
don’t turn away
lest judgement fall
oh, rue the day!
