(Proverbs 23 V 17 & 18)
It is good to have something to control our wandering thoughts
When perhaps, the world seems to threaten
And even appears to do better than us.
The world will always sift and divide
Judge and come to conclusions.
But we, who are led of the Spirit act differently
Our eyes are elsewhere
Our hearts belong to another
In chaos we find inexplicable peace
In turmoil we have a refuge
In dry places we walk by faith
Not by sight.
Because the Holy Spirit, that gentle helper
Helps us focus again
On the fear of the Lord, not on fear of the chaos, turmoil or dryness.
And, after a little while, we are assured that
Our hope is intact
For a future
That will never be cut off.
