Summer Heat

Summer came early
Stealing spring.
The heat builds.
Now every day is extreme.
Is this heat our doing?
Is this the first step to extinction?
We do not know,
But science points to our missteps.
This Earth was God's great gift.
We must not squander it.
We must protect it.
Give us the strength and wisdom
To nurture the water,
To cherish the earth.
Make us meek
That we may inherit this creation.

Blessed Are the Meek

Blessed are the meek;

For they shall inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5

We have come to equate meek with weak,

But that was not Jesus' meaning.

Being meek meant being controlled,

Having great spirit and energy,

But channeling both to good purpose.

Like a great stallion that has been trained

To obey a rider and does it superbly,

We must be meek

And allow God to command our spirit.

If we yield our will to God

And obey,

We will inherit the earth.
