Divine Flame

*"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 of King James Bible

Claiming God’s favor everyday My soul does seek heavenly ray… Divine flame functionally shines And faith beholds miracle signs. Scheduled plans, though prayed for truly Sometimes can change so suddenly Causing angst, confronting my role… Yet flame of peace comforts the soul. As internet glitches cause frown Bringing stress from toes toward crown… My frustration angsts escalate Then child laugh-flame makes woes deflate. Health conscious --- that’s me, I confess Treating self with gracious duress… When I get sick, body does rest Needing strength flames toward work zest. When busy midst tasks to fulfill Adrenalin ascends uphill… Phone rings for a chat delightful Marked by “The Lord is so faithful.” With interference-radiance By the Holy Ghost’s sweet guidance… I’m preserved, so well-protected Thankful, sublimely elated. Listening to the Scriptures preached My spirit is ardently reached Since the Lord talks to me, His child Leading through love, graciously styled Flame of hope for tenacious stand Keeps me warm daily in God’s hand Showing goodness of Almighty I trust* upon truth’s certainty.
