Father Knows Best
by Lucretia Mccloud
(poem with copyright)
How can this be?...
"Whoever trusts in his own heart
is stupid."
Can this/does this
really apply
to me?... Surely,
permitting my heart to dictate
is no mistake!
Isn't this the advice a majority makes?
But, it is true,
the Creator does say:
"The heart
is more treacherous
than anything else
and is desperate.
Who can know it?"
So if it
I let lead... what exactly is at stake?
"The one who walks in wisdom
will escape."
Will escape what?
Is this not a question
on which all must meditate?
Yes,
since wisdom is a treasure
buried
that must be found
relying upon ones own introspection
may not prove reasonably sound
since admonished:
"Do not rely
on your own understanding.
In all your ways
take notice of him,
And he will make your paths straight."
So to,
"Trust in Jehovah
with all your heart,"
is the path well-lit
where the wise one
pronto
starts.
Searching the Holy Scriptures
will provide solid proof.
Causing sincere one's to promise:
"I will walk in your truth."
In time one needs to request:
"Unify my heart
to fear your name."
For Him to:
"Search through me, O God,
and know my heart.
Examine me,
and know my anxious
thoughts.
See whether there is in me any harmful way,
And lead me
in the way of eternity."
This
in utmost sincerity
I Petition; I Pray
in recognition
that
Our Father Knows Best.
Then imagine
this amazing reply:
"My son,
if your heart becomes wise,
then my own heart will rejoice."
Does not this personal attention
bring grateful tears to your eyes?
