Wise advice

How are we to fulfil the will of God

In a world  that seems so full of stress?

The book of Proverbs has some timely advice

Suggesting some ways we may test


First and foremost we are to trust in the Lord

who has proved to be faithful through the years.

We may fully rely upon Him – He will surely keep His word

and has promised His presence always.


We also need to recognise and acknowledge

the frailty of our own  intellect and choice.

In the light of God's wisdom and power,

we need to ask the Lord and listen to His voice.


The conclusion will then be, according to the writer,

that the Lord God  Himself will direct our way.

His will then may be known to those who obey

and choose to say Lord, please show us your way
