Living ... Hope


Ecclesiastes 12:1-2-7 

 

Fear God Now Because Old Age and Death Come Quickly

 

12 So remember your Creator in the days of your youth—
before the difficult days come,
and the years draw near when you will say, “I have no pleasure in them”;
before the sun and the light of the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds disappear after the rain;

and the dust returns to the earth as it was,
and the life’s breath returns to God who gave it.

 

 

Living … hope

 

 

Seasons come and pass so fast,

amazing how "time" is moving

Some in a hurry to make life a blast

and some just there to keep proving

 

That  "time" means nothing if not seen

in value and perspective

And investments made in substance clean

will one day be reflective

 

In True Life far removed from “slots of  time "

where there are no limits

Where forever is just the beginning of rhyme

and Grace will move you in it

 

So if today you're here … there is still hope

for you to secure a destination

And so be moved out of a desolate "scope"

into God's plan of Salvation

 

So when the Lord calls and He will for sure

and you hunger inside … to be different

Spit out the "love of the world’s" lure

that to true happiness is a hindrance

 

Listen to His Voice and His Spirit intensely

as on your heart He moves

Step forward to know God's Love immensely

as His Grace pours into you
