He Said, “Belong to the Day” Each day I awaken is a new day given me a day to use for Him, for others or me for pain, sorrow, or joy to step forth with conviction, with purpose Yet, he would speak today to “belong to the day” rather than the day being mine... How can that be? Am I to let the day take me Move me as if unfolds rather than me moving within it? His words then were “be ready for what the day brings, for it may bring the ‘Day of the Lord.’ ” To be ready with the Lamp of Faith always burning, wearing the breastplate of righteousness, and the helmet of Salvation by His awesome presence and power. Lord, help me understand. ©November 18, 2002 poem written from sermon by P. Webster Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Dear Vas I like your sermon poems. Sometime we turn a deaf ear to sermons but hear them in your poetry. Love, Joyce |
