The wisdom of the world,
is foolish in God’s sight
for it blocks out . . .
the Truth and the Light.
Instead it is chuck-full,
of lust, greed and pride
that leads to the road
that is known to be wide.
The wisdom of God,
is full of understanding
the more you believe
it will keep expanding.
For it is full of mercy,
hope, faith and trust
and the grace of Jesus
He’s given to each of us.
The wisdom of the world,
comes with glitz and bling
but, the understanding of God
eternal life to all will bring!
~~~~~~~~
1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world
is foolishness with God.
For it is written, He taketh the wise
in their own craftiness.
Proverbs 16:16
How much better is it to get
wisdom than gold! and to get
understanding rather to be
chosen than silver!

I see the waters rising,
I sense a flood ahead . . .
and what I know is coming
fills me with fear and dread.
For, the times are evil,
just like in Noah’s days
and this generation’s sin
goes beyond just a phase.
I am preparing myself,
to get into the ark . . .
for this world is becoming
progressively more dark.
For, what I am seeing,
is wickedness unleashed
for unbelief in God
has dangerously increased.
I know Jesus will keep me,
on His grace afloat . . .
but, I still pray for those
who will miss the boat!
~~~~~~~~
Genesis 6:13
And God said unto Noah,
The end of all flesh is come
before me; for the earth is filled
with violence through them;
and, behold, I will destroy them
with the earth.

An attitude of gratitude,
is content in every way . . .
it knows material wealth
only brings spiritual decay.
No matter how it feels,
it never acts hard pressed
it may feel down and out
but never truly stressed.
An attitude of gratitude,
knows God’s in control
it finds true happiness
and joy fills its very soul.
It wants to share and give,
to everyone that it can
the Good News it has found
in God’s eternal plan.
Gratitude is an attitude,
of faith in Jesus’ grace . . .
you will know who has it
by the smiles on their face!

For where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.

Working things out,
is taking some time
to get up and over
this mountain I climb.
Lots of detours,
and road closures
but I see the end
is getting closer.
Working things out,
for my own good
taking His time
as I know He should.
So much to learn,
to get my attention
so He can give me
His divine direction.
Working all things out,
God has for me a plan
His purpose I will know
once I reach flat land!
~~~~~~~~
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things
work together for good to them
that love God, to them who are
the called according to his purpose.

Our biggest adversary,
is our biggest accuser
for he is known to be . . .
a heart and mind abuser.
He is dangerously ruthless,
in his relentless pursuit
he is always searching for
the soul he can recruit.
Our biggest tempter,
is our biggest deceiver
for he sucked the faith
out of one time believers.
He is the ruling agent,
over all disobedience
for he is the architect
of all things wily devious.
Our biggest enemy,
is the god of this age
and he is out to destroy us
with his unholy rage!

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:

Whiter than snow,
is your every sin
when Jesus’ blood
cleanses you within.
For when you’re washed,
in His loving grace
redemption is yours
by faith to embrace.
Once crimson red,
now like wool white
your heart with God
will finally be right.
For once you repent,
and turn from your ways
forgiveness is yours
for the rest of your days.
Whiter than snow,
crimson red no more
are your sins once you open
to Jesus your heart’s door!
~~~~~~~~
Psalm 51:7
Purge me with hyssop,
and I shall be clean: wash me,
and I shall be whiter than snow.
Isaiah 1:18
Come now, and let us reason together,
saith the Lord: though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.
