Like a Dead Man Walking...

2 Chron.6:18Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. When one lives, indifferent to and unaffected by such a Godas described in the verse above,such an one is surely like a dead man walking💔😥 wild flowers...just one example of howour Creator delights to delight us! May we never live unaffected by our awesome God! Unrepentant of rebellion, undelighted by God’s wordUnexcited about spending eternity with the LordUnattached to wonder’s wellspring surging from the hand of HeWho created earth and heavens with His sovereign ‘let there be’ Unmoved by mercy’s renewal, unawed by redemption’s floodUnbowed by confounded humble awareness of Holy GodUnchanged by His grace and goodness, untouched by unfailing loveUnpersuaded by the power that can earth and heaven move Unstirred by the pretty flower, by the songbird’s sanguine trillsBy the beauty of a bower lavished with leaf-layered frillsUndevoted to His kindness, undefended by His ShieldUnaffected by thought-blindness unoffended by sin’s yield Unguarded by angel-armies, untransformed by hope’s pure joyInattentive to heart-gardens of innocent girl and boyIndifferent to the Shepherd, who, without counting the costLeaves the fold to search until He gathers the sheep that was lost Unfamiliar with the Father and faith’s fellowship of prayerUnappeased by Living Water’s promises beyond compareUnimpressed by the true riches stored beyond time’s subtle hastePreferring one that bewitches Want with instant touch and taste Unaroused by utter worship to the Author of all thingsUnamazed and uninspired by blessing each season bringsUnable to see the table that is groaning with a feastGranted by He who is faithful from the greatest to the least Unthankful, proud and unholy, unresponsive to the tollThat will strip Self of its boasting, leaving nothing but the SoulGiving no glory and honor to God for the gift He gaveLiving like a dead man walking but to wake up in hell’s grave © Janet Martin
