The times we are in demand new alertness,
Listening closely to hear the Lord’s voice.
Being aware of what is around us
Will show us we carefully need to make choice.
Choosing to walk in a more focused manner
Is always good planning - a very wise measure.
Staying alert to hear God’s direction
Will keep us in peace and be a great treasure.
We cannot see the dangers around us
But our God will steer us through wind and through “storm”.
If we will listen and cling to Him tightly
He’ll keep us balanced when things are not norm.
“Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise, sensible, intelligent people; making the very most of the time - buying up each opportunity - because the days are evil.”
Ephesians 5:15-16 Amplified Bible
