Wisdom
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By Michael P. Johnson
Other Poems by Michael P. Johnson

 

             Wisdom

How oft we boast to know it all

Like Satan did, before his fall

Best be a fool in Christ and blessed

Than reign in hell the wisest guest

              

Most worldly wise exist in doubt

Quite ignorant what Christ’s about

What eyes can’t see their minds despise

Devoid of truth they die like flies        

 

Wise is the man with faithful eye

Can see God’s promise not to die

However dark one’s wayward past

They’ll take life’s gift and hold it fast

 

Are you; then wise, or think to be?

Has Jesus come to set you free?

Lay worldly wisdom best aside

Allow God’s Son to be your guide

 

Come as a child, receive life’s prize

God sees the heart of each that tries

Come as you are; answer Christ’s call

Allow true wisdom benefit all

 

In Christ the least; confounds the wise

But this should be no great surprise

If man can’t choose between two stools

He’ll surely fall like other fools

 

The least in Christ are never blind

They see The Truth who changed their mind

They know this life one day must end

Before death’s knee to Christ will bend

 

What greater wisdom could there be?

Than living life in victory

Secure in Jesus’ warm embrace

Unafraid God’s face to see.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
