Category: Giving Thanks & Praise to God

Whew,
Thank You Lord the house is in a better state
Been trying to clean it for days
I’ll do it tomorrow I would say
I wasn’t trying to procrastinate
It’s just when the morrow came my energy went away

Then one day I changed my plans
Instead of going out, I stayed in and tried again
I picked up the broom and mop
And thanks to You the needed energy I got

As I swung the mop more and more
My energy picked up beyond cleaning the floors
I looked in closets and threw out stuff
That for years wasn’t touched–just collecting dusk

Lord, you not only gave me energy
But more than what I needed
What I plan to clean, I exceeded
Scripture reference: Isaiah 40:28 – 31
Background
God never gets tired or runs out of strength. He maintains the earth daily. Without fail the daylight comes every day and the night falls. The seasons change year end and out. The earth doesn’t run out of food, air or water. At the same time God is attentive to every one of His children. But unlike God, we get tired trying to maintaining our households. I remember a time when I said I would clean up on a certain day. That day came and went without any cleaning being done as I couldn’t find the energy to start cleaning. Then one day thank God, I got the energy to clean more than what I planned.
