Beloved Heavenly Father,
In all we think, say, and do
May Your name be ever glorified.
O Father,
Give us the energy we need
Both physical and spiritual
In order to do Your will.
For when we do Your will
We step closer to heaven.
Yet we need both kinds of strength
To walk that path.
This spiritual energy
is Grace, Mercy, and compassion.
Our physical energy
Is the bread we call daily strength.
But man does not live
On physical energy alone,
But on the spiritual energy
of Grace, Mercy, compassion, wisdom,
and the Word of God.
Amen.
A poetic statement of Biblical truth. Your poem made me enjoy looking up the origins of your references. I found “daily bread” in the Lord’s Prayer, Also Moses said to the Israelites in Deuteronomy “ man does not live by bread alone.” Then Jesus exactly quoted Moses’s saying to Satan
ReplyDeleteIn Matthew. So you give a deep Biblical study as well as an accurate and lovely one.
ReplyDeleteRuth Ann Miller liked your poem and said to tell you that she thought I would read it over and over. And she was right. Thank you for a blessing to both of us.
