Today’s post was inspired by the reading of God’s Word from the book of Proverbs 1:1-33.
Why have we not responded to the Lords rebuke
Not given heed to his outstretched hand?
Why have we ignored His sound advice
Nor taken heed to His every command?
How long simple ones will we love simple ways
Wandering aimlessly throughout all of our days
For if we had right responses
To the Lord’s reprimands
He would send living waters
To heal our parched dry lands
Yet since we would not accept His advice
And we spurned His rebuke
We will eat all of our days
Of our own rotten fruit
But If we listen to the Lord
If we heed His requests
We will live at safety and at ease
Without fear and be blessed
So we pray for right responses
To every toil, task and test
Embracing the wisdom of King Solomon
As we strive to give You our best
So good dear friend… truth penned eloquently.
So much food for thought….going day to day without even a thought about
the things that are really important. After my morning devotional half of
the time by afternoon I don’t remember what I studied, read or even prayed.
Time for some big time changes!!
