Buried ’Neath The Words (Proverbs 19:17)

I liked the concept buried in his words today,
That we had now resource enough to work His way;
That if some more were needed on the road ahead,
He’d give us that as well, as by His hand we’re led.

To which I’d add the concept of His building up
Resource within, so when we’re called to drink the cup,
We know at least to stop our many fruitless tries
At doing it ourselves, and on His grace rely.

A lot was there, but it was for the other guys –
About resource – don’t block its flow beneath the skies,
For God desires to give to us, and bids us join
Him in the task of moving on our worldly coin.

Of course it’s all about God’s fine economy,
Some parts quite clear, while others hard to see;
But now I’m home I take a closer look around
And see that tools, resource, abundantly are found.

So thank you Father for Your gracious call to us –
To let our strivings cease, and our incessant fuss,
As we can’t give unless we sense resource will come
In to replace the gifts we give, when giving’s done.
