“We’ll Serve the Lord”
Joshua 24:14 - 15; Luke 2:49; Matthew 20:28
Here’s Joshua, the son of Nun, the aide
de camp to Moses – faithful man who went
to spy out Canaan with Caleb – made
a good minority report – content
to wait another forty years until
he led the people in the promised land!
He called them up, and there upon the hill
he taught all Moses taught and took his stand:
“But as for me and all my house, we’ll serve
the Lord!”
Another Yeshua would stay
behind to teach the teachers to observe
God’s will. There in His Father house that day,
He pledged to meet God’s justice perfectly
and do the Father’s work to set us free.

Hmmmm!! It looses something in the formatting! Oh well, I run into the same thing in my Society of American Poets quarterly journal because they use three columns on the page. All my poems with long lines word-wrap and don't read right! So I've changed my style to accommodate their format -- I write shorter lines!
