"Thou hast dealt well with Thy servant, O LORD, according unto Thy Word... Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept Thy Word" (Psalm 119:65-67). "A just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again" (Proverbs 24:16). "All the words that I command thee... speak unto them; diminish not a word" (Jeremiah 26:19). "We have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing" (Hebrews 5:11).
The
Lord has dealt with us so well
With
love according to His Word
That
lifted us each time we fell,
Correcting
us when this occurred.
Our
Savior knows our tendency
To
hear His Word, and then diminish
Its
relevance selectively
And
leave undone what we should finish.
The
Word of God is not unclear
Regarding
what we ought to do;
It
is the dullness of our ear
That
makes us slow to follow through.
O
Lord, we thank You for the fullness
Of
Your instruction every day
And
for Your dealing with our dullness
When
we're inclined to go astray.
