Weekend Words & Sunday Stanzas – 11/23/2014
Do not lose sleep over foolish choices, and get a taste of wisdom from Proverbial Thought!
Whether it is the book of Ecclesiastes or Proverbs chapter 6 or many other passages, the Bible talks a lot about what distracts us and takes up our time. These things cost us rest and sleep.
The poem today was written after a few days not being able to sleep inside a building. I was tired, but I had been kept busy during my days.
When I was able to get back to … not even a bed, but a futon that had recently been acquired from others by a friend I was staying with, I was ready to fall fast asleep. Instead, I wrote this poem for God.
He is always worth a little less sleep.
losing sleep
people lose sleep for various reasons
whether for work or for recreation
to read a good book or be with a person
but if i am losing sleep for anything
whether for all that mentioned or nothing
as long as i lose sleep seeking my King
if i can lose sleep for things here on earth
i should be able to for Him Who deserves
the very Creator in Whom i find my worth
