Notes About The Poem

To reveal all that He wants to say, Jesus desires a hearer who is already reaching out to Him. This is why prayer is essential to the study of Scripture or for seeking guidance. Jesus' discernment is always correct. (Deut 29:2-4; John 8:31-32; Luke 24:27; Acts 2:25)

Prayer is a great way to see the Lord moving.  It's encouraging to be "concerned about the interests of others", pray about it, and watch the Lord answer. I'm getting a charge out of it.

Just Watch

"Whose discernment is correct?!"

"They read but don't watch for Me,
So simple truth turns knotty:
Captives in a doctrinal fence,
Their interpretations lack sense,
Their expertise a mere pretense.

The truth originates with Me,
My illumination lets you see:
Your eyes see what I've planned,
Your ears obey My command,
Your mind will then understand.

My people will be purified,
My enemies will be petrified:
My plans - fully carried out,
Erudite prowess - a cop-out,
Dogma of men - a sellout.

The Scriptures are all about Me,
So seeking Me first sets you free:
The arbiter of truth is not man,
You must trust Me and My plan,
I will finish what I began.

My answer to you, 'Just watch Me!'"
