The Highest Place

Some of us are seeking God for things beyond our reach,
But sometimes God will slow us down... a parable to teach.
Do we see what is before us, right before our eyes?
We need His perspective first to start to realize...

That small things are important... not just high and lofty goals.
He might have us live and serve in ordinary roles.
Some will rise to lofty heights, but not until they learn
To understand the humble place and wisdom's merits earn.

The greatest works we do in life may be unseen by man,
But count for much eternally when they are in God's plan.
Walking in God's rhythm as we serve Him every day
Is the highest place we reach... His plan, His goal, His way.

"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath
begun a good work in you will perform it
until the day of Jesus Christ."
Philippians 1:6 KJV
