Call

Proverbs 8:1-4 

The Excellence of Wisdom

8 Does not wisdom cry out,
And understanding lift up her voice?
2 She takes her stand on the top of the high hill,
Beside the way, where the paths meet.
3 She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city,
At the entrance of the doors:
4 “To you, O men, I call,
And my voice is to the sons of men.

 

Dedication.

 

It is said about dedication

that without it … life is lost.

What destroys it … is frustration,

how to prevent that at any cost?

 

The destruction of the foundation

on which reliance and trust is built.

Will affect performance’s allocation

and removes lack luster guilt.

 

So to measure one's dedication

through commitment's searching clues,

without anger's contemplation

to do the job … you've got to do.

 

To be content with what happens

or you like it or not at all.

Shows that your dedication beckons

for others to follow you in call.

 

So the reaction to what happens

measures the way we really are.

So to discourage will just flatten

our witness to be seen from afar.
