'Words Of Wisdom' Poem by Becky LaPrarie

When you are a child
Your eyes are full of brightness for life
For it is all brand new to you
It doesn’t really matter where you go or what you do

You learn from those who are around the most
You learn to be proud of your successes
You learn how when things go right to rejoice

You go to Church one day and you feel
So uplifted and like life is brand new
You get saved and how this changes you

The Lord’s Holy Spirit guides you each
And every day as you go to him and pray
He teaches you his word through reading the Bible
And spending time in prayer with him
There is so much more he longs to teach you

Knowledge comes in the strangest ways you see
For God is so unlike you or me
He speaks through others, through certain events, certain places
When we never know, but it is in all of these areas of wisdom
We grow spiritually

Sometimes we fail to grow as Christians
Because we don’t hunger after the things
We silently long to know, and do not ask God for his wisdom

Let us seek our Lord’s wonderful face
And seek his will to know, and his knowledge as
We grow in his Holy presence
