Expository Inspiration

This blog is for the creative writing of Nathaniel Halstead. This is not meant for exhibition, but rather that the reader would be inspired to glorify God through further study of His Word. Each poem is based off of a Bible verse, that would be a great starting point for a study!

  • All Things

    If I can do all things through Christ,
    then without Christ I can do nothing.

    Human effort is always a losing proposition;
    my own strength must not be my mission.

    Christ is always found faithful,
    no matter how insurmountable
    the task before me may seem.

  • Be ye Holy

    How can I be holy
    when I am wholly corrupt?
    How can my heart be pure?
    What part is mine
    in perfection?

    How can the lowest rise
    to be like the Highest?
    Can I ascend?
    not by my own strength.
    On whom, then, must I rest?

    My holiness exists
    only because His does.
    I am but a mirror,
    catching reflected light.

    Only by the riches of the Lord
    can this beggar afford
    to be named
    holy.
