Thoughts
I refer to myself as a Nomadic Christian.
one who travels through the deserts of life
complete with their storms, fury and wrath
from one oasis of tranquality to the next
where I rest my body and soul,
restore my spirit before I carry on.
Like all nomads
I know the road
aware that peace
shall greet me
at the end .
Such as there may be pools of beauty
scattered throughout the province
there are wells of pulchritude
hidden on the plains and in the valleys
I have been to only three but after visiting
have left feeling restored and in awe
such as only a fool
enters the desert without water
I had a camera
but at one of them
In light of the happenings
in the recent weeks, months and years
and for what may yet happen
in the coming weeks, months and years
as we tetter on the brink
there is but only one selection
that belongs in this section
Psalms 27
A Prayer of Praise
The Lord is my light and my salvation
I will fear no one
The Lord protects me from all danger
I will never be afraid
When evil men attack me and try to kill me
they stumble and fall
Even if a whole army surrounds me
I will not be afraid
even if armies attack me
I will trust in God
I have asked the Lord for one thing
one thing only do I want
to live in the Lords house all my life
to marvel there at his goodness
and to ask for his guidance
In times of trouble he will shelter me
he will keep me safe in his temple
and make me secure on a high rock
So I will triumph over my enemies around me
with shouts of joy I will offer
sacrifices in hie Temple
I will sing
I will praise the Lord
Hear me Lord when I call to you
Be merciful and answer me!
when you said " come worship me"
I answered " I will come Lord,
don't hide yourself from me
Dont be angry with me
don't turn your servent away
You have been my help
don't leave me,don't abandon me
O God my saviour
My mother and father may abandon me
but the Lord will take care of me
Teach me Lord what you want me to do
and lead me along a safe path
because I have many enemies
Don't abandon me to my enemies
who attack me with lies and threats
I know I will live to see
the Lords goodness in this present life
Trust in the Lord
Have faith, do not despair
Trust in the Lord
