This faith-based poem was written in October, 2019, and it was inspired from reading James 1:22-24: “But be doers of the Word, and not merely hearers who deceive of themselves. For if any are hearers of the Word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like.”
Actions speak loudest for ourselves
Walking in a Christ-like manner
Be a doer of God’s Word
God builds with a benevolent hammer
God calls upon each of us
Acting in faithfulness each day
Be a doer of God’s way
He always knows what to say
Being responsible with life’s rewards
Witnessing God’s work on this earth
Be a doer of God’s Word
Docking our ship at God’s berth
Our blessed Lord sends His harvest
Leaving us with a bountiful taste
Be a doer of God’s Word
Listening with intent, never in haste
Reading the Holy Ten Commandments
God declares all that is good
Be a doer of God’s Word
Now following all that we should
Thanks for today’s “marching orders, {{{Richard}}} … I’m off to “be a doer”!!
