The Quietness

The following is a poem I wrote earlier this week. I believe it is for our encouragement and admonition for this difficult time we are living in.

The Quietness

The airwaves

Silenced

From proudful tongues

And blasts of coldness

To God’s chosen one

In this loud silence

Self thoughts can’t plan

A future uncertain

And unknown to man

Always and ever

Only in God’s hand

All the while He’s

Been talking

But no one listening

Impossible to hear

When stress ensues

And pride and fear chase after you

Creating a noisy mind

And crowded minds weary

Devoid of wisdom and what is kind

Peace be still

And know that I am God

Quietness

Is confidence

As you take My hand

I will lead you

To a better land

But first you must stand

On what is true

Listen soak up My word

And let your mind renew

Let go control

Of all you want to keep

For the old is gone

And the new has come

Yet all is not yet revealed

Humble yourself

And learn of Me

I know what’s best

And will give accordingly

And when things scream

For your attention

Do not take heed

Turn the other way

And run to your freedom

From all unnecessary greed

Notice how the

birds of the air

Remain unchanged

Praising me and trusting

As I continue to provide

their daily need

And so it is with you

One day at a time

Trust and rest

There is no need to strive

Forgive those who’ve struck you

Not knowing what they did

They carry a load unseen to you

And they too must forgive

Be unafraid to venture

Where no one dare to tread

Be a blessing to others

Go boldly, unafraid

And think of them instead

Quietness will give way

To a spring of promise and renewal

Let this time unfold without hassle or worry

Time will be a friend

As you learn to bide your time

And not be in such a hurry

All will be restored

As you listen

Embrace the sounds

Of Quietness

There is no need to strive

Or frazzle your thoughts

With unbridled worry
