Seeking the Will of God

Forget not what I have taught,
Keep my commands in mind;
The will of God you sought,
For with them you will find.

They will bring you long life,
Many good years and peace;
And can cope with the strife,
Until the trials cease.

Let not mercy and truth,
Alter your attitude;
Making you be uncouth,
Causing you to be rude.

Fasten them on your neck,
Write them within your heart;
So you can always check,
When needing to impart.

Then you will find favor,
While having success;
And saved by your Savior,
Knowing that He will bless.

Trust the Lord with your heart,
Rely not on your thought;
Letting it not depart,
Thankful for what you got.

Always acknowledge Him,
So your paths will be smooth;
So you will not be grim,
With vigor in the groove.

Think not as being wise,
From evil turn away;
Be cautious of disguise,
For Satan makes you stray.

Your body will be healed,
As your bones are nourished;
With your salvation sealed,
No longer be blemished.

Honor God with your wealth,
Then your barn will be full;
Continue with good health,
Never to be a fool.
