How to know?
Isaiah 1:18 New English Translation
18 Come, let’s consider your options,” says the Lord.
“Though your sins have stained you like the color red,
you can become white like snow;
though they are as easy to see as the color scarlet,
you can become white like wool.
How to know?
Burdens of the spirit, are they indeed God’s call to us?
Are we sealed in oneness with God but still not understand?
God says He speaks clearly, but we seem not to comprehend it
We know the problem is not with Him but with our human plans
To manifest God’s Will in me, how does He go about it?
He speaks with a small soft voice, but do I drown Him out?
I don’t even know He’s talking as I'm busy with other things
What I deem too necessary asI find myself often in a crowd
So when I receive a burden, am I then to suppose and reason?
Trying to figure out somehow if this is really what God wants
If it appears reasonable to do and it’s in the scripture’s season
Why not go ahead with it and please God to have His “wants”?
What if my spirit is weighed-down, but indeed not by my Savior?
It might be Satan’s intent to crush in such so my “will” to oppress
He will deny me to pray and so try to manipulate my behavior
To bring feelings of help- and hopelessness as not Christ to possess
God’s concern always motivates prayer and meditation
He loves to reason together and explaining about everything
The things I don’t understand and so to cover my frustration
As He supplies the Faith to provide true peace deep within
We will never lose the opportunity to pray
For The Lord loves to communicate with us
But prayer should be listening and not speaking
For that is God’s way in the relationship with us
