COVER TO COVER IN 2024
Among my most meaningful things to do
while reading the Holy Scriptures through
is
write Messiah's name in the margin
of
the Old Testament, where'er I find Him.
Of
course, I do not find Jesus' name,
but I certainly find Him, just the same.
I
find Him in the Lamb and the Lion,
foreshadows of the Temple in Zion,
find Him in Joshua, David, Passover,
in
the Song, the whale, cover to cover.
I've thumbed through pages and jotted a few
Messianic scriptures to share with you:
Messiah's
birth was foretold in Micah, five;
seven centuries later, Jesus arrived;
Virgin
birth proclaimed, Isaiah seven,
a
Son would be fathered by God in Heaven.
Kings would bow down to Him and nations serve,
Solomon's Psalm Seventy-two observed.
He'd be pierced and mourned, said Zechariah;
Our Redeemer, fifty-three, Isaiah,
this foretold of resurrection glory!
Genesis
to Revelation, God's great story!
The Word reveals a magnificent plan
in
this tome of Our Savior, God and Man.
I’ve said farewell to Twenty Twenty-three
Twenty Twenty-four is in
front of me
I’ve made resolutions
and set some dates
marked up the calendar, my
plans look great
but there’s one thing I always
love to do
that is to read the Holy
Bible through
Each page holds the wisdom
I’ll need in life
throughout days of joy and
the times of strife
I’ll be on track for
Twenty Twenty-four
learning of mercy and
grace, love and more
about God my Father, and
Jesus, friend
an epic love story, page
one to the end
