Analysis Of The Poem ' The Lord Is At Hand '

     Immediate: The Passage before this one deals with the Supremacy of Christ. It tells that Christ is God and how he reconciled us to him. The passage after this one deals with living in him. It tells of the fullness that can be found in him. Paul also writes of our forgiveness and how he was triumphant over the cross. Basically Paul tells us of the freedom we have in Christ.

I chose to write my paper on Philippians 3:12-21. Before writing this paper I was not entirely familiar with the reasons for Paul’s letters to the church of Philippi. It was an interesting study once I understood the background and reasoning for Paul’s writings. Paul writes a thank you letter to the Christians at Philippi for their contributions and support in his hour of need, and he uses the occasion to send along some instructions on Christian unity. Paul is also giving them an update on his circumstances. Most of Paul’s letter to the church of Philippi dealt with areas such as joy, rejoice, praise, thankfulness, and attitude.

Paul was in an uncertain and trial-filled position. Yet he is the one encouraging the church to have hope, joy and peace. He virtually demands the members to feel triumphant: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” Paul, who is suffering in prison, pleads with the Philippians: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything Have joy and peace within because these are fruits of the Holy Spirit living within us (Galatians 5:22). So Paul tells the

In the two poems “A Psalm of Life” and “The Tide Rises, The Tides Falls,” written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Have two different means, Longfellow talks about how one can’t trust the future, Life is constantly changing and turning into different directions. In the other poem Longfellow discusses how what happens will go away once you die, everything will erase and wont matter. So one poem discusses how your history will live forever and the other talks about how one past will fade away

Paul wrote the book of Philippians as a letter to the church of Philippi. Paul uses this letter to thank the church for sending him financial aid while also trying to “bolster their enduring faith” (Neal, 88). Throughout this letter, Paul gives guidance to the church, however, in chapter 4 he focuses on encouraging “harmony”, “Christian joy and peace”, and “a sense of satisfaction” (Elwell & Yarbrough, 296-297). Each topic Paul discusses continues to be issues today and Paul’s words of wisdom remain true. In my own life, I have learned from Paul’s teaching to cast all my cares on God and try to lean on His, rather than my own, understanding.

In verse two we can find the second half of the conditional statement of Paul which was given. The means of fulfilling this command is then given in four clauses which emphasize unity by synonymous expressions.7 The way in which the Philippians can “fulfil” Paul’s joy is by having “the same mind”, “the same love”, being “one

God revealed to Paul that His great love for everyone that even when all are dead in their sins He can make them alive in Christ (Vs. 4-5)

While reading and examining poems and plays it is imperative that one must understand the concepts behind how to correctly, efficiently, and strategically analyze and evaluate them. In order to accurately analyse and evaluate poems, plays, and songs readers must examine its words and phrasing from the perspectives of rhythm, sound, images, obvious meaning, and implied statements.

The three verses from the week four devotional can't help but to bring a smile to my face. It is truly good to be blessed! ROMANS 5:1 talks of being justified by faith. Our faith in God is what keeps us whole. When we have unlimited faith, there is an inner peace that cannot be upset. We no longer see the world the same. We now deal with people and other problems in a Christian way. PHILIPPIANS 4:4 speaks on rejoicing. We have to remember that we are examples as Christians. We have to try to keep a positive attitude and not let the weight of the world get us down. People should look at our lives and see the joy we have in the lord (and we should welcome the attention of being examples). 2 TIMOTHY 4:7 speaks of fighting the good fight, and keeping

Poetry is a beautiful way to express the subtext within it, using literary devices which enhances the poem 's beauty.

Dickinson’s poem 1545 contains multiple meanings and interpretations. It is a criticism of Christianity, however, she criticizes in a rather witty way. Throughout this piece of literature, she uses words that have many meanings to dig at the bible and people’s narrow-minded beliefs within the sacred text. Dickenson also uses repetition to draw attention to certain words. Perhaps the ultimate gibe is that she takes seemingly long, complicated, and popular biblical stories and shortens them to four words or less. By doing this she gives off the impression that the “faded men” who wrote the bible are not as clever as they think; but rather they’re stories are simple and transparent.

Let us do well in all that we do, because all around the world, people will see you; including God.  They will stop, look, think and say, "wow, you look like you're having a really good day."  Be a part of God's team, helping people pass their personal tests, as a good living example doing your best.

Poetry is a reduced dialect that communicates complex emotions. To comprehend the numerous implications of a ballad, perusers must analyze its words and expressing from the points of view of beat, sound, pictures, clear importance, and suggested meaning. Perusers then need to sort out reactions to the verse into a consistent, point-by-point clarification. Poetry utilizes structures and traditions to propose differential translation to words, or to summon emotive reactions. Gadgets, for example, sound similarity, similar sounding word usage, likeness in sound and cadence are at times used to accomplish musical or incantatory impacts.
