To finish off the month on a fun note with a touch of whimsy, I thought I would share one of my "Capturing the Moment" poems! This one was inspired by a real event that took place one day in the garden of a Golden Doodle dog called Lucy when a very noisy little bird came to visit. I hope you enjoy my poem called "The Doodle and the Squawk Box."

The Twelve Tribes of Israel- The Tribe of Judah
The fourth poem for my "Twelve Tribes of Israel" series takes a look at the tribe of Judah. This is a particularly interesting study for several reasons. Firstly, we hear the change in Leah's attitude as she gives birth to her fourth son, Judah. Secondly, the tribe of Judah is not only the tribe that King David came from, but it's also the one that Jesus Christ Himself descended from!
The first video covers the Scriptures and the poem section, the second looks at Judah's birth while the third focuses on Jacob's prophetic blessing and my closing thoughts. I pray this poem and study can be a blessing to you. Much love, Lucy x

The Miracles of God - The Resurrection
What better miracle of God to focus on this Easter week than the miracle of the Resurrection?! May this short poem and meditation be a blessing to you as we approach such an important celebration. Much love, Lucy x
The Miracles Of God- The Resurrection
Romans 6:8-11
“Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him. For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Be Diligent
This poem was inspired by Hebrews 4:9-11, which reads,
“There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.”
As I was meditating on these Scriptures one day, I began to think about the phrase, “Be diligent to enter that rest.” This wording seemed to completely counter the way the world works and also the way we work as people, generally speaking. It almost sounds like a contradiction to be diligent to rest in the Lord, yet it’s what we’re exhorted to do in the book of Hebrews.
Human instinct often dictates that we want to feel worthy of something and that we’ve earned it. Salvation is not something we can earn, however, it’s a gift from God through Christ’s efforts, not our own. In other words, when it comes to having peace with God, we have to fight against our human instinct to rely on our own efforts and instead trust entirely in the work of Christ.
As challenging as this concept is, it’s incredibly liberating when embraced. Jesus gives us so much to rejoice over, and after pondering these verses for a while, my grateful heart soon began to overflow with poetic praise once again!
