"A Spirit Passed before Me"
A spirit passed before me: I beheld
The face of immortality unveiled-
Deep sleep came down on every eye save mine-
And there it stood, - all formless-but divine;
Along my bones the creeping flesh did quake;
And as my damp hair stiffened, thus it spake:
'Is man more just than God? Is man more pure
Than he who deems even seraphs insecure?
Creatures of clay-vain dwellers in the dust?
The moth survives you, and are ye more just?
Things of a day! you wither ere the night,
Heedless and blind to wisdom's wasted light!
Lord Byron (1788-1824)
My new book arrived yesterday. "The One Year Book of Poetry" 365 Devotional readings, based on classic Christian verse. I'm so excited, each day I will be reading an inspiring poem, accompanied by an original devotional that explores important Christian themes and a Scripture reading that ties the poem into God's inspired Word. I'm happy to add another book to my bed side table.
Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil, so that after the battle you will still be standing firm....Put on the salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Ephesians 6:13, 17
My dear Lord, may I keep my heart ready for you, and may I remember you are walking in front of me. May Your spirit pass through me daily, so that I may be the wife, mother, daughter, sister or friend you want me to be. And as I go about my day, may I bloom for You my Lord. Amen
