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. 083122PS
