Promises
Ecclesiastes 5:4
4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it;
For He has no pleasure in fools.
Pay what you have vowed—
Promises made in the heart: Are they hard to keep?
Words uttered in confusion: Are they not to be kept?
What pours from the lips: Doesn’t it show the need?
Imprints of thought within: Are they not to be fed?
Are all unexpected issues to be called accidents?
Is not life a pathway designed His Own Way?
Are not the ups and downs to be taken as a friend?
Is not the purpose of it all to embrace the One Who paid?
A coat of different colors woven by the Hand of God
To appear in unison for the Master’s use
All of the same importance designed as a rainbow
And to show all mankind the ways of self-abuse
Jan Wienen
