The sonnet reflects God’s immense mercy, as He refrains from punishing us according to our sins and instead offers boundless grace to those who revere Him. His love towers like the heavens above the earth, and He removes our transgressions infinitely far—east to west—cleansing humanity’s guilt and granting redemption, a divine bridge from earthly flaws to heavenly glory.


The Lord withholds the wrath our sins might claim,
His judgment soft, not matched to what we owe,
For mercy flows where guilt would carve its name,
A boundless grace on those who fear bestow.
As heavens stretch above the earthen floor,
So vast His love ascends beyond our sight,
To hearts that tremble at His holy door,
He grants reprieve from darkness into light.
From east to west, a span no map can trace,
He casts our trespasses to endless flight,
Removes the stain that once marred Adam’s race,
And clothes us new in robes of purest white.
Thus, infinite His pardon, freely given,
A bridge from dust to glory’s gate in heaven.

The Lions’ Den and Divine Embrace
When shadows roar and lions bare their teeth,
A den of death where mortal strength must fail,
The soul might quake beneath the claws beneath,
Yet faith stands firm where worldly hopes grow pale.
Like Daniel, cast to fate’s unyielding maw,
Surrounded by the hunger of the night,
He found a shield in heaven’s holy law,
A guardian flame that turned the dark to light.
No matter where the lions’ den may lie,
In trials deep or jaws of dread unbound,
God’s hand is near, His mercy hovering nigh,
A whispered peace amid the savage sound.
So trust the One who calms the beastly throng,
For in His care, the weak become the strong.

Worldly Hope Versus Biblical Hope, A Comparison by Debbie Harris

Biblical Truth, Christ Centered Devotionals, Christian, Christian Poetry, hope, Inpirational, Inspirational, Royally Redeemed, theology

Worldly hope, a fragile thread,
A wish on winds that shift and shed,
It clings to chance, to fleeting skies,
A spark that fades when fortune dies.
It dreams of gold, of days serene,
Yet trembles at what lies unseen,
A shallow root in shifting sand,
It falters where it cannot stand.

Biblical hope, a steadfast flame,
Anchored deep in a holy name,
No mere desire, but trust made whole,
A promise carved on the soul.
Through storms it holds, through dark it glows,
A certainty the heart well knows,
Not swayed by time, nor crushed by woe,
It rises where the faithful go.

One leans on fate, the other grace,
One dims in doubt, one seeks His face,
Worldly hope may charm the eye,
But Biblical hope will never die.

Whispers To The Infinite King by Debbie Harris

Biblical Truth, Christ Centered Devotionals, Christian Poetry, faith, hope, Inspirational, Prayer, Royally Redeemed


With every prayer a fragile hope takes flight,
A whispered wish ascends to realms unseen,
Where miracles, like stars that pierce the night,
May bloom where mortal dreams have never been.

The heart, in quiet, bends to sacred will,
Each word a thread to weave a chance divine,
A spark to stir the heavens, calm or still,
That grace might fall where faith and fate align.

Yet who can say what wonders lie in store?
The humble plea may shift the world’s design,
A ripple vast from one small voice outpoured,
To mend the broken with a love benign.

So pray, and let the possible unfold,
For miracles are mysteries retold.

Dew Of Divine Calm by Debbie Harris

Be still and know that I am God!

Psalm 46:10 (KJV)


Inspired by Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God”

Be still, my soul, where tempests carve their scars,
And know His voice, a hush through cedar’s sigh,
A quiet thunder rolls from distant stars,
To cradle earth beneath a boundless sky.
The torrent bends, its fury turns to mist,
When silence falls like dew on trembling sod,
His presence gleams where mortal hopes resist,
A steadfast rock amid the flood of God.
No gale can shake the stillness He bestows,
A peace that blooms through ash and shattered stone,
Like olive branches kissed by dawn’s repose,
His whisper reigns where chaos once had grown.
So rest, and hear the anthem soft and slow,
For in the calm, His sovereign love I know.

Upon the mountain tops of sacred word,
We climb with fervent hearts to seek His gaze,
Where Jesus’ sight unveils a world unstirred,
By sin’s deceit or culture’s fleeting maze.
The valleys bloom with grace beneath His view,
Each peak resounds with love that never fades,
The truth, a lantern, ever burning true,
Illumes our path through mortal nights and days.
For His great glory, let our lives be sown,
A testament of mercy’s tender call,
To mirror Christ, whose heart for us was shown,
In sacrifice that ransomed one and all.
So may we stand, His light through us to shine,
A sonnet lived in truth and love divine.

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

Psalm 91:11



For He, the Lord of heavens high and vast,
Commands His angels, radiant and fleet,
To shield thy steps where mortal paths are cast,
And guard thy soul through storm and calm replete.

Wherever thou dost wander, near or far,
Their wings unseen enfold thee in their care,
A silent host beneath the morning star,
To lift thee up from peril’s hidden snare.

No shadow deep, no arrow swift by day,
Shall pierce the armor of their holy might,
For in His will they watch, they guide, they stay,
A fortress wrought of everlasting light.

So tread thy road with heart both bold and free,
His messengers of grace abide with thee.

No greater gift, no blessing so divine,
At Christmas tide or any sacred hour,
Than this: that Jesus Christ, enthroned, does shine,
And dwells within our hearts with majestic power.

The Unfailing Mercy And Compasson of Jesus Christ Our Savior, El Rachum by Debbie Harris

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:4-11 (KJV)

A marvelous mercy, unending, divine,
Majestic flows from Christ, our Savior-King,
His tender streams, a boundless, sacred vine,
O’erflow where faith and penitence take wing.
No scheming tide, no hidden will restrains,
But lavish love pours forth in boundless grace,
Forgiveness gleams through mercy’s sweet refrains,
Irrevocable once His gift we trace.

To Jesus run, El Rachum, Mercy’s Name,
Compassion’s God, whose heart redeems the lost,
His gentle gaze ignites salvation’s flame,
A glow that crowns the soul at mercy’s cost.
By this alone—His love, His truth, His care—
We step into His royal realm of light,
A kingdom vast, eternal, rich, and rare,
Where grace enthrones the humble in His sight.

Let all reborn in spirit’s holy birth,
Revel beneath His mercy seat sublime,
An imperial throne of splendor on this earth,
Where He adores, welcomes, through endless time.
His mercy falls, a shield, a victor’s song,
Our comfort weaves through every fleeting breath,
Triumph and strength where weary hearts belong,
In Christ, the Word, who conquers sin and death.

What Savior this, who justifies our plea,
Sanctifies, atones, with Heaven’s golden key,
King of Kings, whose mercy sets us free,
Our Lord of Lords, our joy eternally!

May the treasure that stirs our soul’s delight,
Be the wealth we lavish in the skies,
A gleaming hoard beyond all earthly sight,
Stored rich in Heaven where true bounty lies.
Let this alone—our eternal gain—
Mark the measure of our fleeting days,
Our hearts aligned to Christ’s unending reign,
The only prize worth all our earthly praise.
