His Presence; a poem by Aloha M. Knight
A friend of mine once asked me
Just how could I believe
In someone I never saw,
Nor spoken words received.
I thought, perhaps, I should explain
Just why I have no doubt
That it was God’s creativeness
That brought this world about.
I only have to look around
To know that He is there.
I see and feel and hear Him.
That’s why I’m so aware.
I see Him in the raindrops
That nourish trees and flowers.
I see Him in the rainbows
That sometimes follow showers.
I see Him in a mother’s love
When looking at her child.
So thankful that this miracle
Is pure and undefiled.
I see Him in the wrinkled face
That’s seen so many years,
Knowing it was faith in Him
That overcame all fears.
I hear Him when a meadowlark
Trills out its joyful song.
I hear Him when the thunder
Comes forth so loud and strong.
I see the beauty of Him
In the butterflies on wing.
The feathers of the peacock
Are the colors He can bring.
I feel Him when a playful breeze
Blows gently through my hair.
When the sun shines warmly on my face,
I know that He is there.
His strength shows in the mountains
And the ever pounding seas.
A kitten’s purred affection
Shows how gentle love can be.
It’s true I have no pictures
To hang upon my wall.
I do not need a portrait,
His presence to recall.
For those who wish to listen,
It is played throughout the land.
The symphony of life itself,
Directed by His hand.
We thought you might enjoy this biblical poem of nature. It really does tell some of the story. We thought you might enjoy this on a Saturday with your family and friends. Here is some bible verses to go with that poem. We will have unusual lessons throughout the times, we hope you will lean from them.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Psalm 97:5 The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
Exodus 33:14 And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Luke 15:10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
Romans 15:17 Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found reason for boasting in things pertaining to God.
Note; Remember, all things are done in Our Heavenly Father’s glory.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father, we pray that You will visit us, and make Your presence known in our life and in our city. Give us faith to believe that You can change our city through prayer and through acts of love and compassion. Let Your Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Help us to cultivate Your presence in our life. We choose to partner with You for transformation in our city. Help us to contend for our city in prayer with others. Remove the distractions in our life that keep us from Your presence. We repent of any pride or personal idols that have taken us away from having you in first place and being completely Yours. (Name them one by one – i.e. television material possessions, food, sports, work, etc.]. Take away any Luke warmness in our heart and set us on fire for You. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Those who wish to become a child of Our Heavenly Father or wish to be stronger in his eyes, please say the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
