Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Godly Fear Begins With God - Proverbs 1: 7

Proverbs is a wonderful book
telling the reader all that's true
considering it with deep thought
it makes such real sense to you

'The fear of the Lord' makes one halt
it brings you to stop in your tracks
to ponder and deeply think about God
so you question yourself about your lack

God is bigger and greater than you
being eternal before, future, and now
true knowledge begins and ends with the Lord
calling you reverently to humbly bow

The majority of this world are fools
despising wisdom and godly instruction
no matter how much God shows His love
they reject His message of spiritual resurrection

Knowledge begins with the fear of God
be sure that's your motto all your days
make life a joy in the Lord's presence
abide in God's word obey all that He says

('The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.')
Proverbs 1: 7 (KJV)

Michael Tor January 24, 2023 at 4:52 PM Love this Gordon. This so true my friend. There is judgement in the end. For many it will be too late. If only we take head and obey the ten Commandments and live according to them and not our own wants and choices but Gods. Well done Gordon.
