Poem
Proverbs 1:7 (KJV) The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Knowing Him, is knowing hope because He lives, I can always cope trusting in His ways, through all my gloomy days remembering He is love, my heart sings because I know the One who brings darkness to light – erasing the night with beauty and grace, feelings that erase every sorrow and fear, never leaving a tear He is my life – with Him, I know no strife Because He holds the wind and seas I always fall to my knees, Breathing prayers for His love to shine Through the lost and lonely pine, Across forever, building a bridge to carry Me through the past, the worries so scary Soothing, comforting, delighting Blending joy and peace so inviting Where hope, faith and love come together Remembering to listen through stormy weather, Promising to believe the proverb who tells me To fear the Lord – this is knowledge that can see Fools despise wisdom and instruction, mistrusting Uncertain, doubting every feeling He gives, disgusting Those who know that only the Lord can bring love To the hopeless, light to the darkness, joy from above He shines His light into a dark and lonely realm Remembering to silence doubts who overwhelm He is light – He is grace – He is the understanding that comes To the heart who listens to the joy and love that becomes My reason for believing, the wisdom that sees me through All the fears and tears, creating wonders my soul will pursue With God, anything is possible With God, a burned bridge is crossable With God, I know the meaning of wise Because of Him, my soul will soon arise With God, there is only beauty and delight Because of Him – poetry is what I write Proverbial Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Margarita Lillico February 11, 2023
