From Joel 2:12-13: “Yet even now, says the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from punishment.”
Earth quakes, full of darkness
Wilderness surrounds thee
Wayward steps, no escape
Misplacing salvation’s key
Hope dwells in empty faith
Where is God’s gracious love?
Enemy’s fire burns bright
Obscuring Spirit above
Each transgression concealed
Yet, God views every one
Righteous breath covers land
Offering grace to outrun
Heart fills with repentance
Every sin be confessed
God’s forgiveness shall come
Redeeming faith’s final quest
Christ waits at Calvary
Hidden in faith’s Good News
Hope’s new pathway of peace
Offering love to infuse
From Proverbs 28:13: “No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”

From Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Early morning arrives
Filled with mishmash of thoughts
Searching for peace of mind
Asking God, call the shots
Waiting in the kitchen
Prayer time with the Lord
His spirit calms life down
Life’s outlook feels restored
Table’s Bible invites
Reading, learning God’s Word
His insight teaches truth
Daily lessons inferred
Accepting God’s invite
Dressed for an autumn walk
Dialog moves outside
Let’s continue to talk
From Isaiah 57:19: “Peace, peace, to the far and the near, says the Lord; and I will heal them.”
