Measuring Every Word

From Proverbs 16:22:  “Wisdom is a fountain of life to one who has it, but folly is the punishment of fools.”

Wisdom’s fountain of life

Vision of Christ unblurred

Blessing days without strife

Measuring every word

 

Wisdom’s voice fills each mind

Left hand joins truth of right

Maturing faith aligned

Cascading from Christ’s light

 

Wisdom’s appetite knows

Joy in Christ, never cease

Sowing hope’s seeds, trust flows

Reaping from fields of peace

 

Wisdom’s patience merging

Just as Father hath planned

Witnessing strength surging

Reaching out from Christ’s hand

 

Wisdom’s honest sweetness

Christ transforms man’s blindness

Filling life’s completeness

Building grace of kindness

From Proverbs 16:24:  “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.”

Inescapable

From Psalm 139:1-2:  “Lord, you have searched me and known me.  You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from far away.”

Searching and knowing

Discerning each thought

Inescapable

God ties one more knot

 

Seeing tomorrow

Opening one’s eyes

Inescapable

God hears every cry

 

Leading each day forth

Holding darkness back

Inescapable

God’s light covers black

 

Sharing His good works

Teaching righteous truth

Inescapable

God matures one’s youth

 

Weaving from earth’s depths

Knitting with intent

Inescapable

God’s efforts well-meant

 

Navigating storms

Lifting each above

Inescapable

God brings grace-filled love

From Psalm 139:11-12:  “If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me, and night wraps itself around me,’ even the darkness is not dark to You; the night is as bright as the day, for darkness is as light to You.”

There is someone who fully knows what lurks in our hearts.  Our God, alone knows.  He sympathizes with our weaknesses and forgives all our transgressions.  To Him there are no secret struggles or silent cries.  He hears.  He sees.  He stays near.

From Psalm 145:18:  “The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.”
