Psalm 91 (Haiku Poem)

By Glenda Reynolds

Living in shelter
Of Most High God Almighty
Your soul can find rest

I declare of God
He alone is my refuge
My place of safety

He will rescue you
From every trap and protect
From deadly disease

Shelt’ring you with wings
His promises, your armor
And your protection

Do not fear terrors
Of disease or disasters
Evils won’t touch you

When God is refuge
No evil will conquer you
No plague will come near

He orders angels
Protection for you always
They will hold you up

The Lord will rescue
And protect those who trust Him
Call and He’ll answer

God will honor those
Rewarding them with long life
Giving salvation

 

HE IS RISEN

 by Glenda Reynolds

Women carrying spices

Bowed low before the angels

The Lord was not there.

Why look in a tomb

For the living among dead?

He’s come back to life!

Messiah would be

Betrayed, crucified, and then

The third day risen.

Peter ran there too

Seeing folded linen wraps

Only wonderings.

Journey to Emmaus

Two talk about Jesus’ death

Suddenly He’s there.

Then unrecognized

He quoted prophets’ writings

Telling of Himself.

Joining for dinner

Jesus blessed and broke the bread

Then He disappeared.

Their hearts strangely warm

Hearing scriptures on the road

Ran to tell others.

Disciples waiting

The Lord suddenly appeared

See His hands and feet.

The writings of Psalms

And Prophets must all come true

Then they understood.

Written that Messiah

Suffer, die, then rise third day

Salvation to nations.

Hands high, He blessed them

Rising into the sky and

Onward to heaven.

All filled with mighty joy

Worshipped and served the great God

Continued praising.
