Blessed Simplicity

The world is moving much too fast.
We’re overlooking things that last.
Living in simplicity
Should be a constant, daily plea.

Things that tend to jar our peace
Just seem to grow and have increase.
If we’re caught up in this swirl
Our peace of mind will be awhirl.

More than ever it is wise
Unto the Lord to turn our eyes.
He will anchor us each day
So we don’t err or go astray.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV

“Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth”
Colossians 3:2 KJV
