From Proverbs 3:26:  “For the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.”

This early morning time

Brings moments of praise

Spirits gather to climb

Warmed by the sun’s rays

 

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

 

Another day appears ready

Feet will not stumble

God’s Word marches steady

Never afraid to tumble

 

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

 

For the humble receive

God’s favor and love

Avoid those who deceive

Look to Heaven above

 

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

 

Arise, prepared for the Lord

He’s endlessly in control

Arming all with His sword

Leading us out on patrol

 

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

 

This morn sings a song

Filling with God’s praises

One cannot be wrong

With Salvation, He raises

 

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

 

Nourish us right now

God’s manna is ready

Take a knee and bow

He keeps us steady

 

God’s Word speaks out

With wisdom and clout

 

Our day comes alive

From God’s trusting light

Allowing us to thrive

‘Til day becomes night

 

God’s Word arrives at dawn

Always full, never gone

The text used for this poem is based upon Proverbs Chapter 10, with the 10th verse taking center stage:  “The wise lay up knowledge, but the babbling of a fool brings ruin.”

Seeks God’s wisdom

His words bring wealth

 

A benevolent father

Welcomes a wise child

 

Virtue always delivers

Never going hungry

 

The judicious of heart

Follows the Commandments

 

Always walks in integrity

Makes for a secure life

 

Boldly calls out trouble

Brings peace to life

 

Use righteous words

Builds a fountain of life

 

Hate stirs up trouble

Love heals our offenses

 

Craves absorbing wisdom

Ignores a blathering fool

 

Leads an honorable life

Shuns sinful behaviors

 

Be prudent when speaking

Uses a blameless tongue

 

Seeks the Lord’s blessings

Comes in reverent prayer

 

Follows our heavenly Father

His stronghold protects us
