"And Cornelius said.... Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God" (Acts 10:30-33).
Why is it we sometimes find
The Word of God seems dry?
God who knows our double mind
Can surely tell us why.
We open up God's sacred Book
As if it were a chore.
We finish with a hasty look,
No wiser than before.
God shows to us Cornelius
In chapter ten of Acts,
And thereby manifests to us
The fervor our heart lacks.
Be present then before the Lord
Prepared for His commands.
God has promised to reward
The heart that understands.
