Revelation Poetry in Motion by Paul Anderson | Ways & Byways
167:2.2 “A certain ruler gave a great supper, and having bidden many guests, he
dispatched his servants at suppertime to say to those who were invited, ‘Come,
for everything is now ready.’ And they all with one accord began to make excuses.
The first said, ‘I have just bought a farm, and I must needs go to prove it; I pray you
have me excused.’ Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I must go to
receive them; I pray you have me excused.’ And another said, ‘I have just married a wife, and
therefore I cannot come.’ So the servants went back and reported this to their master. When the
master of the house heard this, he was very angry, and turning to his servants, he said: ‘I have
made ready this marriage feast; the fatlings are killed, and all is in readiness for my guests, but
they have spurned my invitation; they have gone every man after his lands and his merchandise,
and they even show disrespect to my servants who bid them come to my feast. Go out quickly,
therefore, into the streets and lanes of the city, out into the highways and the byways, and bring
hither the poor and the outcast, the blind and the lame, that the marriage feast may have guests.’
And the servants did as their lord commanded, and even then there was room for more guests.
Then said the lord to his servants: ‘Go now out into the roads and the countryside and constrain
those who are there to come in that my house may be filled. I declare that none of those who
were first bidden shall taste of my supper.’ And the servants did as their master commanded, and
the house was filled.”.
Ways&Byways
No snow, but clouds will rule the day.
Tomorrow sun will have its way.
Cold though in the single digits.
It’s wintertime and it’s just physics.
Every day the things we do
Requires a choice based on what’s true.
We must decide and then must choose
How we work to pay our dues.
How we do things in this world
Reflects how well we’ve taught our souls.
When we follow what’s inside
With It we are identified!
God is what exists within.
Let God guide and you will win.
It takes time to learn new skills—
To truly find and do His will.
But as you gain this attitude
New skills erupt, you do exude
An aroma that uplifts.
On God’s path there are many gifts.
To become what can’t be done
Is not the mission of God’s son.
God will never ask you to
Do something that is untrue.
Thank You, Father, precious Life.
I cling to it though I’m getting ripe.
Soon the years will break this form.
I’m going to hear then, Gabriel’s horn.
