I used to work in sales, selling little office things
I called on many customers who needed many blings
One place was a hatchery where chicks would incubate
They shipped them round the world before it was too late

The process of the warmer was to let the chicks mature
They had to hatch for shipment on the time of scheduler
They were always ready and the birds arrived on time
McMurray was the name of that customer of mine

The word of God within us is similar in ways
We read it and apply it to help us through our days
Then when the heat is on the word will bring us through
We get delivered at the time that only God did choose

When you are in a hot spot and don’t know what to do
Allow the word of God to rise inside of you
Just when you need encouragement the right verse will be shown
You will find His mercy in the midst of the unknown

In response to the daily prompt Incubate

I think some dogs look funny
But others say they’re cute
Little ones that seem to fold
A wrinkle in their suit

I guess I’m in my dog days
My wrinkles grow in length
Though I still feel much younger
I found my source of strength

It’s not in what this earth provides
Nor in it’s treasures vast
I get my strength from God above
His truth will always last

So if you find you’re drifting
Into your later years
Without much strength of spirit
I’ll whisper in your ear

Make Jesus Christ your Lord today
He’ll bring you a new life
Then when you need encouragement
His word will come alive

I remember when my kids were young
As they drew they would stick out their tongue
It would waggle and squirm
As the each took a turn
To drag different colors along

One of them scribbled in groups
Another just made little loops
The third one would move
The pencils so smooth
They’d meander so it looked cute

Our lives can are much the same
In groups or in loops or quite tame
But with Jesus along
My heart sings a song
I’ll never meander again
