When autumn wind gusts start to blow
We know that soon they will bring snow.
So we prepare for winter’s start
As we watch autumn’s “warmth” depart.
These simple signs before our eyes
Awaken us and say, “Be wise”.
As we answer wisdom’s voice
We rest because we’ve made good choice.
Yet other “signs” we do not see
And aren’t prepared... but need to be.
Discern the times and then respond.
The Lord will help us see beyond...
To sense this present urgency
And seek His face with fervency.
If we’re attuned to know His voice
He’ll guide us to make wisdom’s choice.
“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”
I Thessalonians 5:6 KJV
