A Firm Anchor

Information moves so quickly it is hard to stay abreast.
Unless we hurry all the time we miss some things and fail the test.
And sometimes we lose track of that which kept us stable in the past...
The wisdom which we leaned upon before we tried to go so fast.

It is more important now to take some downtime to reflect,
To pause for prayer and time with God, our thoughts to gather and collect,
Lest we get caught unawares and swept along in info’s tide.
We cannot let this new found pace our basic wisdom override.

Wisdom is our anchor rope on which we need to keep firm hold,
Lest we lose our footing and by all this “movement” are controlled.
Info changes all the time, but with God’s wisdom we can stand
Against life’s constant daily rush, increasing pressures and demand.

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”
Psalm 119:165 KJV
