Sobriety:
1 Peter 1:13
Amos Wilson (January 11,
2015)
Through
the haze of centuries past,
The
myriads of angels peered,
And
for salvation prophets grasped,
But
now Ineffable is here.
So
therefore hope! And gird your loins,
And
with sobriety of mind,
Harness
creative, central points,
Streamline
your thoughts to grace and kind.
Let
nothing burden now your stand,
So
cast away the cumbered weight.
Best
meet the Lord with but one hand,
Then
never enter Heaven's gate.
Equip
yourself for battle then,
The
Sword of God do practice well,
Crowd
out rebellion born in men,
With
love for God your heart will swell.
Control
your mind and sober be,
Look
not to trans or wine of fear.
Ruled
not by reason, ruled by Me,
And I
will guide your reason here.
Surrender
then to perfect Hope,
Hope
in the Lord – not in your life,
Not in
your country, church, or home,
But
firmly in God's grace through Christ.
