The Man in Me

Who is this man
That resides in me
How does he think ?
What does he see ?

Does he reach out to neighbors ?
Does he love his wife ?
Is he humble of spirit
In all avenues of life ?

Is he ready to serve ?
Or lift up his brothers ?
What is reflected by this man
In the sight of others ?

Who is this man
That resides in me
How does he think ?
What does he see ?

Does he trust God's promises ?
Does he kneel and pray ?
Do those around him
Trust what he says ?

Can he laugh in a moment ?
Or weep with a friend ?
Is his heart filled with courage ?
Will he stay to the end ?

Who is this man
That resides in me
How does he think ?
What does he see ?

Micah 6:8 NIV

[8] He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Listening

Listening

The voice of heaven doesn't shout
So it's hard to hear if you pout
It speaks so gently and yet so clear
Well worth the time to bend your ear.

In times of abundance it shines the light
Toward the provider who saw your plight
And provided the path that led to success
Lifting your soul to see you've been blessed

In times of discouragement when skies lie gray
It speaks to your heart to kneel down and pray
Lifting your burdens to God up above
Who strengthens your heart to be filled with His Love.

In times of reflection and peaceful abode
It speaks from God's word to shed light on your road
So take time to listen to God's voice from heaven
And be filled with the fruits of his Spirit of which there are seven.

Psalm 119:10-11, 105 KJV

With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

[11] Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

[105] Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
