Finding the Good Things -Proverbs 21: 21
People follow so many things
so to satisfy their inner need
to great lengths, they push themselves
with no guarantee of a successful feed
God gave Solomon a great mind
filled with godly wisdom full of insight
here in Proverbs, he shows God's gift
having divine wisdom makes one bright
To follow righteousness brings a reward
for in following comes riches abound
so also comes mercy another godly gift
coming without favour makes one astound
So in this act, one finds something good
so good to find things so beyond compare
this prize is life righteousness and honour
sent from above such heavenly fare
Such blessed life for it's eternal
receive imputed righteousness so right
promises honour for honouring Him
blessed promises come from Lord of might
(Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness
will find life, righteousness, and honour.')
Proverbs 21: 21 (ESV)
