Certain way


Ecclesiastes 7:25 

True Righteousness and Wisdom Are Virtually Nonexistent

25 I tried to understand, examine, and comprehend
the role of wisdom in the scheme of things,
and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the insanity of folly.

 

Surprised almost every day … mostly unexpected

Moments come and go … we seem to stay the same

We toss and turn in our thought … most often neglecting

The things we could know if we cared in “Jesus Name”

 

It seems most of our concern is our own point of view

Most “our” love is directed where we want it to go

When will we ever learn that: “being plastered in a Pew”?

Will not open perfection although we truly want to know

 

It takes a certain action directed by the Spirit

It takes obedience to follow where you should be

Not through own satisfaction will you inherit

But through inconvenience where flesh can’t intercede
