“Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?”
Amos 3:3 NKJV
“Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet?”
Amos 3:3 ESV
Jesus has agreed to meet me
Everyday every hour every moment I have breath
But I in my selfishness I leave God my creator bereft
“Spend time with me please, tell me your cares!”
But no I say, I’d rather be elsewhere
Working out my affliction by the strength of my hands
Searching for affirmation in the mouth of man
“Come to me” He says “I have a better plan”
Again, today I refuse. Do I not understand?
It appears that way looking at my actions
My flesh cannot stand in this land of distractions
As I pander always to simple pleasures
I forsake the riches of my heavenly treasures
“Trust in me, do not depart,
Delight yourself here, have the desires of your heart
Commit your way, your plans, whatever’s hard
Rest in the arms of the Almighty King your God”
“Meet with me let’s walk today
I have ears for all that you pray
Please, my child lay your burdens at my feet
Find your rest in my presence; be set free”
My spirit is empty, my bones have dried
No longer in my sufficiency can I reside
I’ll be trapped no more by the wiles of pride
In God, my deliverer, I will abide
Please meet with me, Father, I’m ready to walk
Tonight I will go to a place of desolation
To lift my voice in worship my hands in praises
I am powerless, dear Lord, I have nothing left
I seek only your face; please be my rest
Wow did you write that poem? It is excellent.
