“Day One Of A New Life” (Plug and Play Series)

Day one of “plug and play” for me
Is quite exciting, I can see
We’re on, and heading for the field
With strip laid out, and future sealed.

“Stu, time to set a routine up,
For challenge there might be quite rough;
‘I got this’ Holy Spirit claims
(That’s Me, without that, all is lame.”

O Holy Spirit, I’m quite tired
Time-change today, so I’m quite mired
Down in the brain-fog of this trip
With intermittent bits of “zip”.

“It’s okay, Stu, go back to bed
And get more sleep, as I have said
In Scripture tome, I give in sleep,
To help my people deadlines keep.”

(Later)
Ah! That’s much better, O my God,
Effects of sleep seem rather odd
To me – one third of day is gone
Before we turn the coffee on!

But that reminds me, Jews start days
At supper time, because it says
God works while we recuperate,
Then works some more when we’re awake.

Much more, I’d wager, as we mess
Up so much life (ours, and the rest)
That He must clean-up, work around,
And counter-act, to gain some ground.

“It’s been that way since Eden, Stu,
So your involvement’s nothing new;
So ‘welcome back’, as Scripture says –
New every morning” – anthem raise –

“To Father-God for life today;
That’s how one best might start each day;
Then go with poem-prayer in Me,
And Scriptures read upon one’s knee.”

Okay O Holy Spirit – fine
It is, I’ll start engaging time
With better flow laid out for me,
In You – then take some time to see –

What God’s been up to while we slept;
What He needs help with from us, next;
Then have some breckie, take a hike
Around the block by foot or bike.

“Sounds like a plan”, I hear You say,
As I lay out my start today;
Strange world this is if we’re not part,
But then again – it is a start.

Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
