Topic: Illustrate the meaning of “Don’t Try to Walk before You Can Crawl” (without using the actual phrase or literal example). (01/17/08)
Because my problems were so large
I started wondering - who’s in charge
When on myself I did rely
Nothing worked and I would cry

Then Gods’ voice popped into my head
I know just what you’re going through
Why don’t you trust in - Me - instead?
You see I know why you are blue

I have solutions so just ask
My solutions - are in a book
I can now solve your hardest task
Get your bible - please take a look

Find in your Bible - what I said
My Word is more precious than gold
Take all my words and fill your head
For My Word now can make you bold

Filling the mind – to man belongs
In the worlds ways don’t become wise
Learn the difference in rights and wrongs
Or this could cause now your demise

Now what you spoke - I’ve done for you
I gave My Word and it is true
Now Bless or Curse you made the choice
From your abundance - I gave voice

With bible out - all day I read
Putting God’s Word now in my head
The more I learn – taller I stand
I have found out – Gods’ Word is grand

I speak the truth - God does supply
My problems are no longer large
For now on God - I do rely
From this day forth my God’s in charge

Yes, most definitely we need to fill our minds with God's word before we can walk in power and victory. While I found it just a bit challenging to read rythmically, in my opinion it's very insightful and encouraging. Too many of us keep trying on our own to make things work. Bless you abundantly!

You've put many truths into your poem! A good message, indeed.

A poem! Good advice!
The rhyming pattern threw me, because it changed from AABB to ABAB irregularly.
Watch your spellings and capitalizations. (Bible, God's)
good job...keep writing.
