Great Animals of the Bible


Among the creatures serving God’s purpose

Wrought was I to wipe out the shade.

On a hot day, a vine grew high

Received blessing for being made.

Meanwhile I ate my lunch. Who am I?

 

An animal to ride, what is my name?

Noticed I an angel, standing still,

Avoided it three sep'rate times.

Seen not by my master until

Shrewdly I spoke of his crimes.

 

Lo, we’re strong beasts, we kept our mouths shut,

Ignored a tasty treat all night long.

Order from our King calls, “About-face!”

Now the jealous take their turn with the strong.

Starved our mouths open, no time to say grace.

 

Becoming skilled with these questions?

Experts, name the animals which

Attacked forty-two rude boys who

Repressed not their covetous itch?

Scorning a prophet, as kids will do.

 

Surely the most mentioned beast in God’s Word.

His own Son is called by our name

Except He wears our caretaker’s shoes.

Errors of mankind -- we bore the shame

Pardoned by our blood were all loyal Jews.

About the Poet
Growing older with some pains and discomfort, graying hair, glasses, partial plate and hearing aids but with complete assurance of my eternal domain. Saved by choice by Gods free grace by Jesus life, death and resurrection. Born and bred in the Bluegrass State for 24 years, I crossed the Ohio River and became a Hoosier forever thereafter until that time God calls me to my heavenly home. Christian for fifty-five plus years. Church musician and SS teacher for most all of my Wednesdays and Sundays. Public school teacher for thirty-six school terms; retired with a class now of three grandchildren off and on during the week. Wife for half my life to the same superman. Mama to two unique sons. Mother-in-law to a fine daughter; Nana to one darling girl and two handsome guys. God has blessed me abundantly; thank you, Father. God quiets my hackles; God quickens my heart; God quells my hunger. Blessed be His holy name.
