Brains

By Jan Phillips

God gave us the brains
What did you do with yours?
Did you make any gains?
Or did they open any doors?

Have you used them with wisdom
Or have you used them not at all
Do you only use them some
Or just when they’re on call

Sometimes I wish I had two
But I don’t use the one I have
So would I be twice as dumb
Or just twice as sad.

I need to use what little I have left
To study the Bible through
And get closer to my Lord
As He would have me do.

If wishes were brains
I bet I’d have a few
But would I use them
Any better than I do?

I didn’t read my Bible today
For that I must atone
It’s a good thing God forgives me
Or I would be all alone

I use my brains on worldly things
That’s not what I’m meant to do
I need to get my head on straight
And not wait until it’s too late

God help me use my brain
To do the right thing
According to your plan for me
Then I can come home and be free.

Love the creativity in this one.

Some very good questions:

God gave us the brains
What did you do with yours?
Did you make any gains?
Or did they open any doors?

I think you use yours each day to thank God and to praise Him.

Thanks. I try real hard not to forget who gave me all my blessings.

I love the way that you love God!

unfortunately i am ill-equipped to comment on this subject matter. it seems the smarter i think i become the more aware of how dumb i had been.

Don't feel like you are all alone in that one. Been there more often than not. Just when I think I'm not so dumb, I do something stupid.

The more we know, the more we know that there is so much more that we don't know and that we don't know we don't know....

The more I learn, the more I know that there is so much more to learn.

but if the more we know that we know that we don't know, how do we know that we know what we know, unless we know something? ya' know?

LOL It's a puzzle, isn't it?


Was it Mark Twain that talked about how he knew everything at 20 and as he aged he marvelled at how smart his father had become...
