Jehovah Jireh

Jehovah jireh, God will provide
Words so easily spoken until faith is tried
Who doesn’t believe that Elohim, King of kings
Is able to do great and powerful things?

When a river flows in the desert
Ten thousand sing His praises
Yet the sound of their voices change
When again the drought again rages

El Shaddai has left us!
He’s a God of sudden whims!
They shout, Curse God and die!
Just as Job’s wife once counseled him.

Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?
The simple question Job asked
Your reaction is foolish, woman
Through calamity can you not stand fast?

The Lord giveth and He taketh away;
May the name of the Lord be praised.
Naked I will leave this earth some day
For it was naked that I came

All that we have and treasure
Was not acquired by our strength alone
Even the children of our wombs
Were given to us on loan

All that we have belongs to Him
To do with as He see fit
Rest assured it is not some whim
But a plan we can be part of if we’ll simply submit

In The Beginning

This is the first poem I'd ever written. My pastor had just given a lesson on the subject creation and I felt inspired to write this. It was my first taste of poetry and I've been hooked ever since! I believe my talent has grown much since this poem but I wouldn't want to forget where I began..... In the Beginning by Kesheena LeVasseur 02/14/09 In the beginning When God created His Son He said “ Let's make a world” Let it revolve around the Son So in the beginning A world was made The word of God tells us It took Him six days In the beginning God made Adam and Eve Out of the dust of the earth And into them life He breathed In the beginning God created a tree, Outside of the garden, Of which he told them not to eat In the beginning A choice Adam made To disobey God And go his own way And in the beginning Out of Eden they were sent And because of their sin Back to the dust they went Even now today ...

The Team Member

Another rookie.... The Team Member By Kesheena Levasseur 4/1/09 there was a little boy on a team one day He couldn't catch, he couldn't throw but on the team he wanted to stay He wasn't there to watch or play he just helped the team in his own little way The day he was chosen they didn't want him to stay He was too slow and they told him so He was a failure at their sport, the team would never win But to the championship they were on their way Because of the boy they chose that day When the trophy they got They didn't mention his name Though he'd contributed a lot to the game He'd carried the water and chased stray balls And when the boys fell, an encouragement he'd called But when he was questioned very happy he seemed for he was content just to be a part of the team Here in the Body you may not receive The attention you want but don't be deceived Hold your peace, stay in your place Everyone here is needed God sees you...

No Light

Just a quick thought with a rhyme. Yes I know it has a Dr. Suess flow to it. HAHA. You might have to read it twice to comprehend it. I wrote it and I still have to read it through twice. Well enjoy!! What if there was no light? There’d be no wrong then, right? And if there’s no wrong then there’s no right. And where there’s no right there can’t be light. And without the light we have no sight. The whole world is dark as night. So if there’s no me and there’s no you doing what God has called us to do. Then there’s no light, no wrong, no right. In essence there is no fight. So be the light you’re called to be. The kind that helps the blind to see. 8/16/14
