Weekend Words & Sunday Stanzas – 04/07/2013
Storms may come, but the wisdom can help you get through! Get some wisdom today from Proverbial Thought.
This may be a poem more geared toward the Lenten season, but I think it is especially fitting for the Easter season (leading up to Pentecost). Lent is a time to deny ourselves to prepare for our coming Lord. Leading up to Pentecost, we must prepare for service for our Lord.
You could say we must live in a period of Lent … for the rest of our lives.
That is the theme of the poem for today:
my spirit cries out to You
my heart aches for You
i feel the pride and arrogance
that tries to well up inside me
that could turn me from You
O gracious and loving Father
let us remove these feelings
make me truly Your saint
humble me more
as i humble myself before You
make me aware of
whatever is not of You in me
make a willing servant to this world
that all may know You are God
All praise the Almighty
the Creator of All
praises resound from the mouths
of those who seek Your righteousness
without You we are wicked
praise the Lord
the Lord of our salvation
