When we are young and full of much zeal,
It's hard to contain the fervor we feel.
We must be tempered with wisdom and thought,
Willing to listen and then to be taught.
More "letting go" and "letting God do"
Is the quickest path to gaining God's view.
He'll "send us forth", or He'll "hold us back"
Until we are wise enough to stay on track.
Fervor is great, but wisdom is better.
Wisdom will be our trusted "pace-setter".
God gives us balance and helps us mature.
In Him our footsteps are wise and secure.
"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding."
Proverbs 3:13 KJV
