Be Content, Let God Work Within

It's an awesome thing for God to speak
to one mortal being such as myself
but by His holy spirit He does exactly that
He considers it not good to sit on your shelf

God always knows what He's doing
before He conveys to you His plan
this God owns the cattle on a 1000 hills
my life to Him is small in His hand

Though my tongue causes  me much trouble
God knew all about when I was in the womb
even then he'd my days mapped out
knowing how to lift me from any gloom

Be content, He speaks continually this day
content yourself for I work at my speed
be assured your desired glass is half full
left in God's hand let Him gently lead

Be content, let God work within
don't cry or weep, trust, just trust
my life in God's hand, so very safe
He'll accomplish all before I become dust

(Thinking on what message God has been speaking through His word to me in recent days.)

When we let God "lead" us, we can't go wrong, Gordon. I think he presents us with challenges just to see how well we will handle them. Many times each day, I find myself "talking" to Him. A thoughtful and uplifting poem! Hugs, Carolyn
