The Road to Amazed

I've been reading from St. Luke Chapter 4.
Each time I open to it, I get a new perspective.
I'll think I'm finished and should move on.
Then, Wow, more is seen.

"Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit returned,..."

Breathe Him In

Distractions
leading away from
what is worth
our time
The mind
filled with trivia
Temporal
most of which is
in the end
self imploding
This trap
easily sprung
by allowing
God's breath
to enter
Then our exhale
will bring
a direction
filled with life
enough to
spread around.

"...and was led by the Spirit..."

Temptation

To be tempted
is not a sin
Jesus was led
by the Holy Spirit
and was tempted
Being filled
with the Father's
words
the antidote
providing victory
over every thought
every deception
The outcome
of such a battle
blessing
freedom
leading to abundance
for all.

If You Are

The tempter's
if's and promises
no strangers
to the sons
and daughters
Jesus heard them
too
and with His Father's
words
walked on
To better than any
tempter's hand
could ever comprehend.

In the Power

What Would it
look like
if we were to
get up each morning
in the power
of the Spirit
Jesus provided
the pattern
Even after
what we would
say
was a
very bad month
spent in a desert
He was
filled
and it showed
wherever He walked

"Jesus returned... and news spread
throughout the country."

Do Likewise

Is it possible
that our words
when synchronized
with God's purpose
can proclaim
Bringing release
sending multitudes
hurling
head over heels
into the vortex
of God's love.

"All were amazed at (His) gracious words
...Amazed at His teaching..."

Fully Loaded

Has anyone had cause
to be amazed
when you spoke
lately
If not
stop
and fill your belly
with the living Word
Are you recognize
by your foe
as someone who can
drive them away
If not
go back
Put on the
Royal robes
designed in the
image
of the Holy One
Then
even the blind
will see
the Beautiful One
in you
and come away
amazed.
