judging inward – v6

Judging inward only
our own selves,
To refine, to conform,
our walk in this life.

Love only, mercy,
for everyone else;
We are to judge inwardly
only ourselves.

all work and no pray – v3

All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy
so the expression goes;
but more important is the statement
that all work and no pray
not spending time with God
in nature, in silence,
in not taking Sabbath rest
in not studying the Word
is no good at all, not hopeful,
not following God’s command;
It is no Sabbath, no rest at all

Adoration – 2 – v2

Adoration, holy reflection,
beginning of prayer, of worship
in praise of God, Creator of all;
Bowing down in silence
rising in gratitude
for all God has given
our life, this earth.
