Serving God

Date:

If you faithfully obey,
The commands God is giving;
You no longer go astray,
In this life you are living.

So love the Lord our God,
Serving Him with all your heart;
Giving Him honor and laud,
Unto His Word to impart.

He will send rain on your land,
Both in the fall and the spring;
Making fertile of the sand,
For ample harvest to bring.

Gather your grain and new wine,
God will grow grass in the field;
As cows eat in the sunshine,
And crops produce a good yield.

Be careful of temptation,
That easily turns you away;
And would cause you frustration,
That would make you disobey.

God would be angry at you,
Shut off the sky from the rain;
Withering crops would reap few,
Causing you a hunger pain.

Take these words of mine to heart,
While keeping them in mind;
Never letting them depart,
If you lose you may not find.

Faithfully obey commands,
That God has given to you;
Follow all of His demands,
Through this life for to pursue.

Follow all His directions,
And remain loyal to Him;
Keep yourself from defections,
Never to be feeling grim.

No one can stand in your way,
Having the Lord by your side;
If you still trust and obey,
In God as well as abide.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
