The beginning of wisdom is found in God’s word,
Then allowing my heart to accept what I’ve heard.
His words are still true and won’t lead me astray,
If I have the faith to just trust and obey.
When I’m headstrong and stubborn and focused on me,
Ignoring God’s wisdom, I no longer see.
When I seek the Lord’s guidance it’s then that I’m wise.
He will answer my plea and He’ll open my eyes.
I don’t understand why I’m so often prone
To think I’m in charge and can live on my own.
Why resist what is good and will profit my soul,
Go off on a tangent, think I’m in control?
I need the Lord’s guidance to live every day.
If I ask, He will hear me and show me the way.
Your poem was timely reminding me to always start my day with the Lord not with a hurried prayer but a quiet meditation and talk with our God. Your poems are truly God sent. Thank you John and God bless.

I love this poem. It’s so true and a reminder to focus on God’s truth no matter what is going on around us every day. It fit perfectly with another devotional I read today. I hear Gods voice as He brings truth to me from His word.
Thanks again John
