To walk in the light while darkness invades,
envelops, and surrounds is to wait on the Lord.
-Howard Thurman-
***
As a regenerated son of my Heavenly Father,
I am strongly admonished to retain the absolute truth that is manifested within His eternal Words.
To what extent one may ask?
For it is to resemble one who has experienced great hunger,
only to find meaningful bounty and sustenance not just in the physical,
but in the gathering of God’s wisdom, knowledge and commandments.
Who are the wise ones of this generation?
Are they not the ones who remain faithful to all the requirements that God commands?
What is the prize for obedience?
The soul shall live forever in the very presence of the Most High!
God’s Words is the essence of Light in the very presence of evil.
His eternal Words must be protected like the pupil of one’s eye.
Fundamentally, spiritual maturity is garnered by a soul fully yielding to God in obedience.
Daily, moment by moment,
for the entirety of one’s earthy journey-
binding absolute truth to one’s fingers,
while writing these words upon the inner tablet on your heart.
My friend,
speak to Wisdom of God, “You are my sister,”
while saying to Understanding, “You will forever be my spouse;”
My Heavenly Father,
Please keep my soul from all evil and harm,
for my heart is committed to pleasing only You,
in my desire that I may Live a humble life of faithful obedience and service,
unto You and for Your people! Amen
