Lasting Shelf Life
You are feeling stressed
You feel you're under arrest
Perhaps you should not protest
Hold still, it's a necessary test
You have been put on the shelf
It's time to look at yourself
Pray more, talk less, listen more
God has treasure for you in store
On the shelf, you will more than survive
On the shelf, you will make strides and thrive
God has put His lasting shelf life inside of you
Be still and know that you are always as good as new
A can of beans might say, "Best by 10/04/25"
A package of bacon might say, "Use by 09/10/22"
There's no 'best by, use by date' on your forehead.
On the shelf, you are secure in Him and have 'everlasting use'.
So, relax on the shelf, and be ready when God reaches for you.
