God's Will

God’s Will
Dr. James E. Martin
©April, 2014


This is the day that the Lord hath made,
His instructions this day are to be obeyed.
To choose defiantly this course to not take
Is to choose a huge mistake to make.

We sometimes think we know what is best.
To think this way is to fail the test.
So sad it is to finally learn
We should’ve earlier begun His will to discern.
