Just a grain

Proverbs 29:18 

18 When there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,
but the one who keeps the law, blessed is he!

 

No opinions wanted … just a grain of truth

Is it not exiting to lean on understanding?

“The just will live by Faith”, nothing else will do

Where does the mind fit in and what about planning?

 

Explanations wanted … without any opinion

Only facts will do … show me the proof

There is no room for guessing or reminiscing

Show in black and white … be solemn in your mood

 

What is revelation and where to sort vision?

Can this be proven day after day?

Can this be seen clearly as our mission?

Are these the answers as one constantly prays?

 

How to sort and separate regularly the barrage

of facts from fiction and reality from illusion?

How can one see and touch clearly the carnage

presented by truth in life through constant admonition?

 

How much are we to know and how much are we to handle?

Is it not enough to understand our need and to answer the call of life?

How are we to search and grow … with a flashlight or a candle?

Is it not good to rest at God’s feet and to be free from inner strife?
