What He Tells Me

“Your life is sad and miserable.”

That’s what you say

When I spend all morning working

And feel tired the rest of the day.

“You should be rich by now.”

That’s what you say

When I check my wallet

And think about the bills I need to pay.

“Everyone’s bleeding you dry.”

That’s what you say

When I give to those in need

Whilst trying to save money to move away.

“Why do you even bother?”

That’s what you ask

When I think about my life

And wonder if everything’s a vain task.

“Don’t worry. Seek God’s kingdom 

And His righteousness first.”

That’s what Jesus tells me

Whenever I expect the worst.

“Seek first God’s kingdom

And all your needs will be added to you.”

That’s what Jesus tells me

And I know what He says is true.

“He is always faithful.”

That’s what I say

When God reminds me

How He provides for me day by day.

Choosing which voice to listen to

Is a daily struggle for me.

But I will heed my Savior,

I will seek God’s kingdom and not worry.
