How fast are we going? How fast must we run
To get through the day with everything done?
Is there time to ponder or just sit and think
Of all of God's goodness from which we may drink?
Moments with Him bring times of refreshing
And add good perspective when things are not "meshing".
Not "pausing" with Him may have a sad cost,
As bright new perception could simply be lost.
His wisdom is pleasant and brings us to "rest"
In confidence daily to meet every test.
What sweet dimension in Him can be found!
Our days will be brighter and blessings abound!
"Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there by any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Philippians 4:8 KJV
