Wisdom
If only we had eyes to see the evil in his plan
The darkness in the devil's heart to steal the soul of man
Would we still be so settled in the things we daily do
Or would we be proactive in the task we're coming to
The task of holding vigils when the time of trouble comes
That time that's little spoken of or where it's coming from
When liberty is vanquished at the hands of evil men
Who've hearts no longer softened by the Spirit's call within
But whom have given reason to be sacrificed for gain
Not seeing that the future holds no good but only pain
For those who focus solely on the things that they might have
Possessions of another they in haste are quick to grab
Or would we choose to focus on what God would have us do
By grace pursuing active faith that's sure to see us through
The challenges of battles we are promised we will meet
If we pursue our daily Bread before the Master's feet
Where bowed in prayer and study of the messages He brings
We know with greatest confidence the grace He's offering
Is more than sure and adequate to face what's soon to come
As by that same amazing grace His Word contains the sum
Of all the wisdom needed all the power for our souls
All blessings from His Spirit that are there to make us whole
And make of us His channels to bring Light and Truth to men
Who still might be receptive of God's cleansing found within
The pages of His scriptures so neglected by the ones
Who claim to be His people to be one with Christ the Son
When of a truth they know Him not nor do they know His ways
Nor do they know His plans for them to face the coming days
When only preparation made right now will see us through
Will give us guidance where to go and show us what to do
For then when all the trouble spoken of will come to past
There'll be no opportunity our souls on Him to cast
As then all's been decided by the way we've lived before
By how we've chosen to relate to Him we now adore
And only those who've lived by faith will know His presence then
Because their lives reflect the grace that saves us from our sin
Daniel 12:1-3; Isaiah 25:1-26:4
