“Liquid Life” (Prov.10:11; James3:11; Jn.7:38;4:4; Mt. 5:6; Jer.15:19ff) [Spanish Bible Proverbs series #10-11]

The harbor holding violence
In Proverbs ten verse six,
Is just the same in verse eleven –
A nasty bag of tricks.

But what’s now sharpened in this text
Is route through which it flows –
That “Filled-up blessing”, mind takes on,
As into life it flows.

For “Overflow” is what it does,
But out the mouth it comes –
If lips are sealed to hold hate in,
No way life’s river runs.

And also in reverse it’s true –
If streams of life flow out,
Hate has no harbor to ’bide time
’Till mayhem finds its route.

You said, O Lord, “A well is sweet
Or brackish, never both”;
“Fill up your mind with things of God”;
“It’s time that you awoke”.

Like water from the rock that day
When Moses gave a whack,
It satisfied community –
The water never slacked.

Lord what I hear is, “Scripture’s word –
Fill – let it overflow;
Let it flow to community,
That life each one can know.

“The Kingdom-layer gives freedom from
All blockage to such Word;
For you can skate right over walls
So what I say gets heard.

That’s what all this is now about –
Folks do not wish to hear;
But that won’t stop My message to
Each one – such words are clear.

“Stu, I don’t care how that gets done,
It matters not to Me –
Just get ’er done now Kingdom-layer
Gives you a place to be.

“You can use photos, written text,
Or video with sound;
Or speak directly to My world,
There’s lots of methods ’round.

“But that is why I said to you
It matters not to Me
The how – just get the job done, Stu,
For that’s your ministry.

“Just like I said, ‘That’s why I gave
You family, and friends;
And resource, contacts, way of life –
A life that never ends.

“I gave you education, then,
I trained you up your way
(As autodidact, self-taught type),
To pass on what I say.

“I gave you Kingdom-layer, then
I opened up your eyes
To what My “Last task” is ’round here,
’Till wrap-up in the skies.

“So there you have it, Stu, my man,
Plan A – Plan B – Plan A;
You’re at the start of task I want
You to fulfill each day.”

Lord, this is awesome, thanks so much –
Help me recall right now,
Nee’s “Spastic waiter” which all are
In freedom You allow.

I stand in constant need, O Lord,
Of Your life-giving way,
As You flow out through me each day
Life’s blessings – words You say.

“ ‘Be as My mouth’, as words I spoke
When Jeremiah slipped
(Got whining ’cause his hearers balked –
Objected, stone-walled, yipped.

“So enter into this new task,
Leave all the rest behind;
I will recycle all you’ve met
In Kingdom of the blind.”

Thanks Lord for this.
