Waiting on His Promises

November 2, 2016 by Richard Newton Sherrer Leave a Comment

Do not ignore the fact,
That one day with the Lord;
You will have a new pact,
And cannot be ignored.

One day will feel like years,
A year just like a day;
Emotions will calm fears,
As you kneel down to pray.

The Lord is never slow,
To do what He promised;
Some people do not know,
How to have faith and trust.

Be patient for your sake,
He has to weigh the fact;
Not to destroy or quake,
Of what it might impact.

He does not want to change,
The way you act or think;
Make your mind to derange,
From some poison you drink.

The Lord comes like a thief,
When Heaven goes away;
Someone with no belief,
Will continue to stray.

But Heaven disappears,
When heard a roaring sound;
An unbeliever fears;
As the clouds touch the ground.

The universe will burn,
And all will be destroyed;
As your fate you will learn,
In being null and void.

The earth and all you knew,
For it will be long gone;
Only the righteous few,
Be seeing a new dawn.

About Richard Newton Sherrer

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.

Faith Lived Close to the Land September 27, 2024
My dad eased his pickup truck along the rolling sidehill, tracing the curves in the rows of hay stretching before us, the steering wheel wandering beneath his hand. The afternoon sun was high and warm. We could have fallen asleep beneath its affectionate glow, were it an afternoon lazy enough to let our family rest. […]

Fasting Is A Good Thing. But For Some of Us, It’s Complicated. September 27, 2024
For a time when I was a child, I wanted nothing unless it was grilled cheese—without the bread. My loving parents accommodated me by placing a special order when we went to restaurants. Eventually, I became a vegetarian after making the connection between the animals I professed to love and what was on my plate. […]
