Inside Out
Do you pray, I do , every morning and through out the day,
I offer prayers of thanksgiving, for delivery from the dark,
I look on it as a confessional, without the middle man.
Each day I pray for the sick and also for those who are well,
For those who say God is fake, who then say go to hell!
Today I prayed for the words to say, should one come my way.
Then I opened my Bible reading , this is what it had to say.
Colossians 4:5-6
Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time.
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt,
That you may know how you ought to answer each one [WEB]
I thank God for this immediate response to my morning prayer.
He clinched it with the next line written by this bible teacher I follow.
"Seventy years may seem a long time to live on this earth."
This seemed to be outside of the reading until I realised that...
I am 70!
Consider how you will and may God go with you always,
