"Lean Not unto Thine Own Understanding" by Gary E. Stevenson



As sure as the Lord lives
We can expect
His hand in our lives
To lead and direct

Raise your sights to heaven
And pray unto God
Inspiration's given
When through faith it's sought

Trust not in the arm of the flesh
Where only obsessions you will find.
Lest all that you gain, then, does test
 Let wisdom come to your heart and mind

Temper worldly desires
For prestige, power, and fame
Focus on what inspires
On what God would have you gain

If faithful, we have the same expectations of blessings from God as in times of old, to be prospered and to accomplish what He would have us do. Be solemn and unite your hearts in prayer, be patient, and do not murmur. Trust in God for wisdom beyond your own.
