I’m still listening Lord,
my ears are ever more inclined
to Your instructions
that for me, You’ve designed.
I’m still trainable,
Your wisdom I will always need
give me more of Your advice
and to Your Word I will heed.
I know it takes time,
for Your knowledge to set in
every day I am comprehending
where awareness truly begins.
Help me to keep learning Lord,
even though I’m getting old
give me more of Your wisdom
so Your full glory I can behold!

Deb,
You’ve captured my heart’s cry…
“Help me to keep learning Lord,
even though I’m getting old
give me more of Your wisdom
so Your full glory I can behold!”
I always want to be teachable. Lord, please never let me get to a place where I think I know it all, because then I would be nothing more than a fool. I don’t want worldly wisdom, Lord, I want godly wisdom… I don’t want mere knowledge either – i want understanding, Lord.
Thank you so much for your poetry Deb. You’ve stirred my spirit with this one.
Love you,
Cheryl

Ah, you know what they say about getting old . . . it’s all in your mind 🙂 and well mine feels like is about 20 years old and so I know I got a lot more to learn. I figure the day I stop learning will be the day when I sit with the Greatest Teacher ever . . . and then, finally I will know all there is to know about everything I needed to know! Amen and Amen!
