I stand amazed at the way God works,
at His lessons and His plans;
I don't have a clue how anyone could doubt
that His ways are higher than man's.
I stand amazed at His sovereignty
at His ability to give and withhold.
He gives us things to strengthen our walk --
To go into the world and be bold.
I stand amazed at the way he discerns
What truly is best for us--
The fact of the matter: We may not always agree...
but to live in His will, we must!
I stand amazed at the gifts He gives
of people, places and things.
They all can be forms of encouragement
no matter what each day brings.
I stand amazed at how He speaks to others,
like when we need a hug or word from friend...
Yet He also leads us and helps us to know
When there are needs to which we should tend.
While I stand amazed at all these things....
which are gifts from God above
My prayer is that I never take them for granted
Because they are tangible gifts of His love!
The silly poem I posted the other day has gotten more comments than anything else this month. I started this one a while back, probably a month or so ago, and never finished it, so I thought I'd do so tonight. You didn't know what you were signing up for when you commented on the other one, did you??? :-)

YEAH! I'm first! What a fine poet you are! And, what beautiful words! So true! We SHOULD be amazed every day...God does such awesome things and I fear I take some of them for granted. This poem is a nice little 'wake-up' call for me. Thanks!
Wow Dianne...you are a talented poet! Love this one too.
Hugs!

Yep, me too. When I try to write poetry I just agonize over rhyming words for hours, and it seems like they just flow out of you. I am really amazed at YOU, and I'm amazed at God's gifts as well.
Dianne,
This may sound strange but I've been searching for this verse in the Bible since I read your post on contentment and I was just going through some stuff and found it(I'm suppose to be working LOL) Anyway I know this verse but for some reason I couldn't remember where exactly it was in the Bible and I just read it and thought I have to tell Dianne. It's Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know I have plans for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" I don't know why but I had to share that with you. Have a good day.
I stand amazed with you!
