Inspiration

INSPIRATION
by
Pamela D. Williams

Inspiration and ideas come from sources all around—
Get up early—in the sunrise, fresh perspectives can be found,
Watch the wind whip over wheat fields for a glimpse of God’s great might
Or go visit with a neighbor and return with new insight.

Read a chapter from the Bible, see what God, in love, may say.
Sit in quiet meditation, let the Spirit have His way
Browse the galleries of artwork; stroll through gardens fresh with dew.
The kaleidoscopes of color fill our hearts with praise anew.

Curl up cozy with a novel by an author you admire.
See how God can use a story to transform and to inspire.
Little phrases, penned by others, sometimes strike resounding chords.
When we listen with our spirits, we reap harvests of rewards.

Over each of your endeavors pour the sweet perfume of prayer.
Holy Spirit, lead and guide us; may our lives Your message share.
