(after reading Proverbs 19:21-23 and Psalm 31:15)
The fear of the Lord leads to life,
self-trust shoved from the zone of covenantal time.
God’s never-minute hand makes his purposes prevail.
Our loyal heartbeat-hand travels, gladly confessing all is well,
communion’s hourly declaring God’s hedge at intervals.*
Our times are in the times of Heaven’s own right hand,
ours hidden in the Christ’s, within Abba’s grasp.**
