Be Still and Listen

Date:

Be still try to listen,
He who is searching hearts;
Knows that it will glisten,
When our mind imparts.

The Spirit intercedes,
As to the will of God;
According to your needs,
And how much you are flawed.

But we know that all things,
Work together for good;
From the love that God brings,
When doing as you should.

Those of whom He has called,
According to His plan;
Always honor and laud,
Rather than to a man.

Because they already knew,
Who had appointed them;
And which way to pursue,
So He will not condemn.

His Son was the firstborn,
Of many on the earth;
But not a long sojourn,
Thirty three years since birth.

He approved who were called,
Appointed by the Son;
Although that they were flawed,
They could get the job done.

What can we ever say,
About everything;
If we trust and obey,
Being blest it will bring.

Nothing can separate,
Since the Lord is for us;
His love will compensate,
No one is against us.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
