the voices woven – v8

the voices are woven
as waves crashing,
swooping, falling
upon the shore, the bank,
rising and falling
seconds apart
a staggered choir
a capricious harmony
stronger together
woven into one voice
one in the fabric of love.

we will see the kingdom here – v2

We will see the kingdom here
if we seek it
if we long for God’s will
for our lives.
All of our needs
will provided
by the hand of God;
We must trust in Him.

the voices woven – v7

the choir small,
each voice important
their voices woven
reaching crescendo
as waves crashing,
upon a rock, the shore
changing creation

rising and falling
seconds apart, echoes,
a staccato, a growing,
a capricious harmony
stronger together
woven into one
one in the fabric of love.

the voices woven – v6

a coming together
as thread of silver, of gold
their voices woven
reaching crescendo
as waves crashing,
upon a rock, the shore
rising and falling

seconds apart, a staccato,
a growing, a building
a capricious harmony
stronger together
each part important
woven into one
one in the fabric of love.

we will know God’s will

if we focus, if we listen
if we are still in silence
if we discern God’s voice
through the clutter, the chaos
we will know God’s will
His calling, His purpose
His plan for our lives
we who seek the kingdom
the path God has for us
we will know God’s will
our needs will be provided
we will faithfully serve
we will be imparted with courage.

other needs met

this is not something we earn;
it is a gift of God
from our faithfulness, our focus
on God’s will alone.

seek God’s kingdom
seek His will
God providing
every other need.

other needs met
all of these given
not something we earn;

what God wants

that is the hard thing
seeking the kingdom
determining what God wants
amid the noise, the chaos
our own competing demands
our interests, our desires
to seek the kingdom
and the will of God.

that is almost easier
when I pause, think it over,
the next part of the scripture
to completely trust in God
that all of our needs
ever dot, ever tittle,
all our other needs
will be provided by God.

seeking the kingdom

I understand this scripture
the challenge is life
seeking the kingdom
with eyes of the world
seeking the kingdom
that we may know God
trusting God completely
for all our needs.
