Walk it as we Talk it

Words and deeds connected, sincerity reflected,
'Walk it as we talk it', integrity is expected.
Examine our lives, cut through like knives,
True righteousness thrives, in inward strives.


In ancient scrolls, wisdom unfurls, not outdated, their relevance whirls. Old Testament's voice, in Jesus finds choice, full meaning and purpose, in Him, we rejoice. Not a letter will fade, not a stroke will be swayed, till all is accomplished, the foundation is laid. Emphasized by the Savior, with divine behavior, obedience to God's commands, a taste we should savor.

Great in heaven's realm, they take the helm, who practice and teach, with God at the helm. Living faith personally, guiding others intentionally, in the kingdom of heaven, they shine essentially. Not just outward law, but a heart without flaw, in the mirror of the soul, let us draw. A reminder profound, in His grace we are found, in love and obedience, let our lives be crowned.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, His power reigns supreme, over all things, seen and unseen, like a divine dream. Idols of stone and wood, they crumble, they fall, for the one true God, He is above all. Worship not the created, but the Creator, in His love and mercy, there's no comparator. It's never too late, to His sovereignty, we attest, return to Him, in His arms, we find rest.

He hears our prayers, in the silence of the night, answers them in ways that set our hearts alight. With a sincere heart, for His glory, we pray, in powerful ways, He shows us the way. Steadfast in faith, though the odds seem high, in His power and timing, we rely.
His commandments we uphold, in our lives, they weave, for in His promises, we trust, we believe.

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, in the starry night, there exists an ultimate source of goodness, our guiding light. We place our trust in Him, in His divine plan, acknowledging that without God, we are but a fleeting lifespan. God, our portion in life, our source of satisfaction, fills us with sustenance, and boundless compassion. We turn away from false gods, from idolatry's snare, focusing our worship on the One who's always there.

In the face of trials, in the face of strife, we find confidence in God's presence, in His abundant life. Guided by His wisdom, by His love so profound, in His eternal happiness, we are forever found.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. - Psalm 19:15

Prayer

What lies within this fragile heart that beats and bleeds and breaks apart. What secrets does it hold inside that I have tried so hard to hide. What dreams and hopes and fears and doubts that fill my mind and make me shout. What passions and desires and joys and pains that stir my soul and course my veins. What words and thoughts and feelings and deeds that shape my life and guide my needs. What truths and lies and rights and wrongs that form my voice and sing my songs. What is this heart that you can see that only you can set me free. What is this heart that I conceal that only you can make me reveal.
