A Little Here, a Little There
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

A Little Here, a Little There

When famine reigned throughout the land

God met His servant’s need

He sent him to a brook, and planned

From ravens there to feed

 

Thus quenched the brook Elijah’s thirst

The birds brought daily meat

Whilst three plus years God’s people cursed

Stooping their filth to eat

 

From this we need to understand

There’s famine still today

We keep God’s rain from off our land

When sin leads us astray

 

We often lax in things we do

The duties we perform

We fail to keep The Heaven in view

We fail to stand the storm

 

A little here, a little there

How deep is Satan’s plot?

We fail with God our time to share

Till often quite forgot

 

We must be true to He who died

To Christ we must return

For only then will God provide

For only then, we’ll learn

 

Best pray The Lord would hear our cry

That through His gracious will

He’d cause us by a brook to lie

And there receive our fill

 

Complete in Christ, God’s living Son

Strengthened in Heaven’s Might

The Father’s will, should now be done

Until we’ve won the fight..…

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
