My Life at Day

Many people have a place they go to when they feel down or imprisoned by their circumstances and environment. Some turn to alcohol, weed, ice cream... Not the born again believer though. We are expected to go to God and He gives us insight and inspiration on how to channel our energy and spirit to bear much fruit.

God uses our weaknesses to make His strength perfect in us and turns things around for His glory: He  gives us Beauty for ashes as He turns our brokenness into BEAUTY! Are you willing to let God do that for you?

Here’s an example of one way God did that for me recently. As a teacher I needed a poem for my students’ exam. One that had the specific features I needed to test them on. Additionally our parents are extremely advanced and I didn’t want to use one from a past paper to avoid at least two students having read the same poem. “Lord what should I do?” I asked ‘my go to for everything.’ “Write one!” He replied. It really had been a while since I wrote one so it sure was a great idea. Additionally I could make it to reflect exactly what I wanted.

Ain’t God awesome?

I thought for a moment and then I began...

                                     My Life at Day
                      My life at Day can be pretty dull
                          Yet at times full of brawl
     
                      For I spend it in a country land
                        Where there’s no sea or sand

                       My Life at Day is filled with those
                            I’d truly wet with a hose

                       My Life at Day reminds me though
                        I shouldn’t give an eye for an eye
                          But sift away the bad bad eggs
                            Then pin them with a peg

                                   My Life at Day
                            Has taught me very well
                           For now I know that I must pray
                           And draw my water from His well

I had found a place where I could go when life sends me another challenge and that was in my pen and paper. God has given me my place in Him to come whenever I wanted, then turned my scars into intricate pieces of writing that’d touch many others.

I hope my little poem could help you understand, that when you learn to draw from the divine source your Life at Day will be so much better. For you won’t have to carry the pain and baggage anymore. And when the storms of life comes raging in on your ship, the anchor of God will surely hold and keep you together!

So will you give Him charge of your life at Day? He’s waiting!
