Reverence speaks of holiness,
And never does it put self first.
It will never raise it’s voice,
Insisting just how well it’s versed.
Reverence pauses and it waits,
And measures every word it speaks.
It is willing to step back
And bow down. lest great harm it wreaks.
Reverence learned is wisdom’s prize
And goes before the one who’s wise.
Reverence helps that one to “see”
And from all conflict to be free.
“Blessed, happy, fortunate (and to be envied) is the man
who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord
at all times (regardless of circumstances)...”
Proverbs 28:14 Amplified Bible
