Godly Wisdom, raising eyebrows.
Must it be that
Wisdom comes the hard way?
Knocks and shocks to
Moderate the view.
One laid flat and
Looking up near bankrupt.
Where the Help to
See the challenge through.
God is there but
Too much panic to
Behold Him.
Never strayed nor
Took the critic’s stance
He is Love and Power
Beyond limits.
Take His Wisdom in
It’s the only chance.
Friends will chide, say
Now you ‘ve gone half crazy.
what about sound reason
In your past.
You just smile and
Know Who has the breakthrough.
The Most High will
Give you smarts that last.
(Good time to read First Corinthians chapters one and two.)
