“THE COMING OF THE LORD”

“You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”

James 5:8 ESV

When everything is going wrong

Wait patiently for the Lord, be strong

Let your redeemed heart take courage

Rest in Christ, do not be discouraged

In the Lord our strength is made new

His merciful promises are always true

Rejoice in hope, pray, be patient in tribulation

Wait quietly for the God of our salvation

The testing of our faith produces steadfastness

With a compassionate heart put on patience

Humbly bearing with one another in love

Seek wise guidance and grace from above

Be still before the Lord patiently waiting for him

Christ Jesus already paid the penalty for our sin

In his strength mount up with eagle’s wings

Ever ready to meet the returning King of kings!

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
