Rise Above Excuses

RISE ABOVE EXCUSES

            ©Mwango Lupupa 31/03/2016

Excuse ^the excuser

To slide or tip-toe seems wiser

Rise out of and above self-pleasing

Even if in the eyes of others decreasing

Ready to give a reason for doing excellently

Humbly knowing good and evil intelligently

A compass in life -- pointing to eternity

To advance God’s cause for humanity

Attaining happiness without excuse

Rising above I shall muse

Nothing ever to misuse

Shame any accuser

Pity the abuser

Of excuses

The Poor You Will Always Have

THE POOR YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE

©Mwango Lupupa 28/04/2016 Mark 14v7

Lacking in One Way or Much in Need

For a Season in Solitary

Powerless But Not Witless

Disdain Them Not, For Thou art Kindred

Blame Not, Their Potential Harness

In Solitary or In Community

Lend Them A Hand or An Ear Whenever

A Lesson or Two You May Learn

Though They Be Not In Dignity

Wish Them No Ill, Neither They For it Yearn

For A Moment Or For A Lifetime

An Opportunity to Prove You Have a Heart, Sound Mind, Eyes that See,

Obedient Feet and Hands that Give!

Worry Not

WORRY NOT

 

Stumble not into another day of hopeless worrying

Humble yourself not with crying

Work not with anxiety

Reward is God’s providential surety

Though now in pain

It won’t be in vain

If in Jesus Christ you trust

Upon Him yourself thrust

Kept you will be by faithfulness eternal

Untouched by malicious infernal

Floods of today’s problems

Winds of current needs but emblems

God’s timely lure

Prove His wisdom sure

Seek His kingdom and righteousness first

For Him hunger and thirst

Daily necessities will be added to you

Let nothing worry you.
