What Does HE Require

Deuteronomy 10:12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

¹² “Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to ^[a]fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

 

As insignificant as I am

There is something that GOD

Requires of me

For HIS eyes rove to and fro

Over the earth

And HE knows what I think

And hears what I pray

And sees me wherever I go.

Yet, there are times that life

Can put me in dire straits

And I think to myself. "Well

When the LORD does get to me

This may be the time that

HE may be too late."

Y'all know how sometimes something

Can jump up, out of the blue

And before you know it, trouble

Has taken over your world so fast

That you want to say, "Wait a minute

Where did this come from and is

My FATHER; oh, where did HE go?"

Then you might think as the Psalmist did

"Woe is me, I am undone,"

Because this particular trouble

Is one I cannot outrun.

Yeah, it could be a terminal illness,

Heartache or the death of a loved one

And you know for a fact that

This bout of trouble is a

Gamechanger for sure

Because, for all of your trust in GOD,

You have been hit with something

That you cannot endure.

You might feel like you are the

Detail that was forgotten about today

Because you know that if GOD had been

Looking, this trouble couldn't and wouldn't dare

To even have come your way.

And then, when you get to where

It is quiet,  you try not to even think about prayer

Because you know that your life is broken

And that there can be no repair

But the voice of faith and lovingkindness

Says to you, "This world is not my home

For one is being prepared where there

Will be no more goodbyes, sickness or pain

And to get there, all I have to do

Is faithful to GOD remain."

And you, insignificant detail that you are

Redetermine to "Serve the LORD GOD

Will all your heart and all your soul,"

Because simply put, Heaven is your goal.

 

This is not the way that I intended for this blog to go today, but sometimes, it does what it will! This poem follows up from yesterday's blog dealing with diamonds and pressure.

Surprise for you?

Me, too

Who knew?
