Chastened and Eyed
On Hebrews 12:10, looking at Matthew 16:23 and Luke 26:61-62
I seek the worthy life.
When Jesus looked at Peter,
With no new words,
Peter remembered His words, a
Warning before the rooster crowed three times.
Man, I do know what Jesus says to me,
And I want too to watch for His look.
Let me be holy enough and righteous inPractice
That I see His look.
Get behind me Satan.
(Satan does deceive me—with my own words,
And so often my mind is in the wrong place.)
Let me see Jesus’ eye on me too—As often as I need it.
Joy!
Joy to know Jesus.
Let me too receive the kingdom that cannot be shaken.
