Fed From Above

From Proverbs 3:1-2: “My child, do not forget My teaching, but let your heart keep My commandments, for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare they will give you.”

New dawn harvests light

Sowing truth from God

Embracing His peace

Each faithful seedpod

Heart keeps commandments

Following God’s flight

Honoring His Word

Joy grows in His sight

Every path straightened

Accepting God’s grace

Forsaking darkness

Faith climbs each staircase

Refreshment prepared

Offering God’s love

Healing man’s fabric

Trust fed from above

Radiant wisdom

Planting God’s next seed

Cultivating hope

Christ forever leads

From Proverbs 3:11-12: “My child, do not despise the Lord’s discipline or be weary of His reproof, for the Lord reproves the one He loves, as a father the son in whom He delights.”

Monday Memories: Buried Faith

Posted on April 13, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

From the words of American pastor and Christian author, A. W. Tozer: “Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God.”

Winter’s lost, snow-covered faith

Father’s presence, long frozen

Buried faith, under deep drifts

Lack of any hope, blows in

Christ melts each frozen glacier

Ice turns to living water

Holy Spirit flows with hope

God’s Word molds, as faith’s potter

Spring arrives, God’s Holy love

Maturing into life’s fruit

Flowering trees, witness faith

Hope emerging, each new shoot

Resurrection brings new life

Hungry faith springs with fresh growth

Spirit warms forgotten hearts

Faith then hope, Christ unearths both

From Proverbs 3:3-4: “Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute in the sight of God and of people.”

Flowing with Tears

As children

Playing board games

Innocence sparkles

Without igniting flames

Daily joy

Nourishing trust

Every hour brightens

Happiness never rusts

World ignores

Destroying hope

Daylight now darkens

War viewed through every scope

Man’s nature

Mapping each clash

Nations torn apart

Battlefields burned to ash

Future doubts

Flowing with tears

Children’s hearts saddened

Tomorrow’s constant fears

No less a person than God is needed to assure us of God’s love.

From 1 John 4:9-10: “God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.”

Richard Sibbes (1577-1635) was an Anglican theologian and a Calvanist.
