When House Is On Fire
I’ll pray for God’s control over a house on fire
Along prudent composure disasters require.
In such state, I’ll keep foremost my antique Bible
Scriptures that anchor my faith, making me stable.
Medicines come next with first-aid necessities
For normal blood pressure amidst adversities.
Vital are legal and academic documents
For social, educational, financial engagements.
Hygiene kit must have pure sanitizer’s fullness
Insuring “Cleanliness is next to godliness.”
Money, though ephemeral treasure, meets my needs
Securing my welfare while the belly it feeds.
Communication gadgets are helpful buddies
They should be handy as my essential goodies.
Never will I forget prepared grace-packed food box
Supplies of the Lord with His blessings' bounty-stocks.
There are they all... in one bag for ready transport
While I rest in God’s care, watching fire-report.
Grateful, I praise my Saviour Who extinguished flame
Saving me from hell-fire when I called on His name*!
*Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
