Words To A Man Who Does His Daily Work -- As Much As Words Can Say

A man who seeks God’s blessings
Before he starts his daily work
He shall be blessed.

He who starts early in the morning
Puts his trust
In the One who gives him breath
Will receive His love, power and wisdom
To go on and on --
Like the engine of a TGV or a jet plane.
Only some by-standers may feel
Like confused bogies of a steam-powered goods train
But the man of God powered by the Holy Spirit will endure
And success and peace shall be his
In the next world and in this.

There will always be a few small men who squat by the sides
Jeering from the pavement
Raising a din – they are those
Who cannot control their own lives.

It takes faith to start with God
And to abide in Him.
It takes determination to do His Will.

The man who has his faith in God and -- works
For faith without works is -- dead
His is the living faith.

He stands by God
And God stays with him.
