Poetry Come without Rash Words

Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and you upon earth: therefore let your words be few. Ecclesiastes 5:2

May the words of my mouth
Be a bouquet of truth and right
That all might know Jesus’ heart of
Love,
Forgiveness,
Hope, and
Come to His Holy Light.
Amen

Poetry Devotion— How to Gain Discernment

And this I pray, that your love may aboundyet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;That you may approve things that are excellent;that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,which are by Jesus Christ,unto the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9-11

Lord,
In this day of compromise,
Help me discern wrong from right.
Keep me open that I might learn,
Issues and standards on which I must stand firm—
Help me research and do my part
To uncover falsehood and fraud,
Encouraging others to follow
the rule of righteous law.
Help me, Lord, know truth from lies, and then,
Give me strength to stand forthright and strong.
Amen.
