Inverse-Ecclesiastes, Chapter 10

10       Abundant joy makes the human heart open outward;
   so a little of His joy in us must lead the way, always.
The wisdom of Jesus leads us along His Way;
   the wisdom of man is nothing.
When we walk His Way in wisdom, we gain more,
   and then may say to ourselves, “We lack for nothing.”
If the pleasure of the King is upon us, let us abide in Him,
   for He promises to add blessing unto blessing.
 
     There is a great glory that I have seen because of the Son, another triumph arising from this King of Kings: advancement is set in low, humble hearts, and the poor in spirit inherit the Kingdom alongside Him. Truly, I have seen the lowest raised up in Him, and the rulers of the ways of man quickly forgotten.
 
He who descended to us has also ascended,
   and the serpent has been crushed under His feet forever.
He is shaping us as stones to be set in His Temple,
   this glorious Cornerstone who holds all things together.
If we are weak, it is He Himself who strengthens us,

   arming us with His own strength,
   and the wisdom to carry it aright.
If the evil one attacks one of His chosen,
   He gives every advantage, by His Spirit, to that chosen one.
 
The whisper of His lips is there within our inner ear;
   we may cease to trust our own ruminations.
Today, we may begin—and end—with His words alone,
   for His mercies are new; His words, fresh and alive.
Our wise King is clear of speech,
   and though we oft’ are slow to hear, slow to understand,
   He is forever faithful, speaking to us from the Throne of Heaven.
Our work for Him exalts our life’s meaning,

   for it leads others, upward, toward the City of God.
 
Blessed are we, brothers and sisters, for our King is the Son of God,
   and He has made us sons and daughters of God too!
Happy are we, brothers and sisters, because this King is our Friend,
   and He invites us to the Family Table,
   for daily communion: union with Himself!
Through abiding in Him the union ever grows;
   each day may play its part in the growth.
He is the Bread of Life: our joy;
   the New Wine: our Spirit,
   our greatest riches: the Kingdom Himself.
Even as you fall asleep, bless the King of Kings;

   in your rising, lift up His name;
for the Spirit that is in you is also in Him;
   no blessing you speak of Him is ever lost, ever forgotten.
