Reason To Boast

Delay by Him has taken its toll, Waves of doubt rollover the soul, Despair extinguished the Spirit, Wax-filled ears would not hear it. "Listen, you have left My way! Wait for My providence and pray. Change of direction is needed." But His correction went unheeded. The restless spirit wrests control, God's will is no longer the goal, The anxious heart is not ideal, So, failing eyes, meet banana peel. Seeking refuge in my enemy's camp, I was turned into a foolish scamp, Philistine mouths were agape. So, I feigned madness to escape. That was dumb, I'm ashamed to say, Letting fear and doubt cloud my way. The Lord's shelter never fails, His faithful acts tell the tales. Keep seeking the Lord in a trial, Relying on Him is worthwhile. Instead of becoming milquetoast- In Him, a reason to boast. "Come children and listen to Me. Fear of the Lord will set you free! Wait for Me to settle the score, David teaches in Psalm thirty-four."
