Imprints of the Lord on the substance of our days
Will often lead us on in some new, refreshing ways.
What started out as ordinary then takes on a new dimension.
He adds purpose in our days as we then give him our attention.
Imprints from His loving hand will bring about a lasting change
And bring an understanding which will have extended range.
Many things consume each day and higher purpose often thwart,
But when we see His greater scope then trivial things will lose import.
We should welcome "imprints", though they cause us to be stretched.
When we submit to stretching, with gold God's imprints will be etched.
He blesses us with imprints which will prosper and amaze
And spur us on to higher purpose which will bless us all our days.
"For we are God's (own) handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, (born anew) that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us (taking paths which He prepared ahead of time), that we should walk in them (living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live)."
Ephesians 2:10 Amplified Bible
