Spiritual Insight Prayer



Giving thanks I do not cease,
Remembering you in my prayer;
Hoping that your faith does increase,
Having compassion that you share.

That the Father of our Lord,
And the glory of Jesus Christ;
Gives wisdom not to be ignored,
With the knowledge that has enticed.

Enlighten the eyes of your heart,
That you may know what is the hope;
Having a faith not to depart,
Through the trials that you must cope.

Glorious wealth you inherit,
Immeasurable as a saint;
In everything that you merit,
Without having any complaint.

Because the exceeding greatness,
Of His power towards who believes;
Keeping on a path of straightness,
Determines to what one receives.

He wrought in Christ when He was raised,
From the dead seated on His right;
While all the faithful has praised,
And are remaining in the light.

Far above all with dominance,
In ruling with authority;
The Father gives Him prominence,
Having superiority.

He put all things under His feet,
Given as head over the church;
Upon the throne, He took a seat,
Unto Him, we must go to search.

Which is His body that will be,
The fullness of Him who fills all;
Upon His throne He does decree,
Responding to us when we call.

Richard Newton Sherrer

I was born and raised on a farm in Pennsylvania. It was a small family farm that was handed down through 8 generations of Sherrer men until my father; Newton just could not make a living from it any longer. He thought that I would make a better living away from the farm. So, I decided to join the Air Force in 1969 upon graduating from high school. I gained quite a bit of experience and insight on life while in the service. Even though I was only stationed on the east coast of the US, my Air Force career took me to Germany and Korea. After 20 years wearing of the blue uniform, I decided going in a different direction and found myself becoming very diverse in many different fields. Something still seemed missing to me after being separated from the service for about 10 years. The Air Force was a way of life for me, but really missed life in Korea. I found myself changing careers again. Poetry was an interest of his since my days in high school. With returning to the Lord, I felt motivated to write of my Christian beliefs. I started looking at Bible verses and reflecting on my own personal experiences. The Bible was found to be as true today as to when the various books were written. I could see much of what the Bible is teaching us as valid as every in modern time. It felt only natural to me on using his personal experience based on Bible verses and see much of my own life written in the Scriptures. God inspires me what to write about though. I do not claim to be an expert on God or the Bible. I am just a Christian who has become enlightened to write poetic verses from the Holy Scriptures. more…
