Venn-Three

A.T. work emerges when the Venn goes up to three;
Life in Giver-land needs Scripture, prayer, and what I see –
Circle one is where I walk; and circle two’s the loop
(Interactive life in Him, like Andrew Murray’s fruit).

But it’s Scripture – special that – which trims it down to size;
Otherwise it’s far too big, too big for human eyes;
We don’t in an ocean swim, or drink in a lake ourselves,
We just use a part of each, and sail upon its swells.

There’s not much folks have not seen, despite fast-changing pace,
In this modern world of ours which we each day must face,
Someone else, some time before, has not encountered then,
Which we cannot profit from – experiences blend.

“Wisdom get”, said Solomon, “above all else get wise;
You’ll be glad you did where e’er you live beneath the skies;
Precious more than silver, gold, or fame, and world’s applause;
If you can’t come up with it, then read for it – because –

“Otherwise you’ll wreck your life and end up in a pit,
Trap, or net, which someone set, and fail because of it;
Soak yourself in wisdom, friend, don’t skim across the top –
Dig into its treasure, overflow the bit you’ve got.”

But wisdom’s like the sea to us, enormous in its size;
We don’t need the whole of it, just part which satisfies;
Scripture helps to fill you up with wisdom for your life,
Then it turns you back to part you need for this day’s strife.

So settle how you’ll benefit from Scripture’s text today –
Read it all; one chapter plum; perhaps some other way;
Pass it on to others living out your wisdom gained,
That will help solidify what’s in your mind remained.

A.T. could not start for me with circles one and two;
Then with Scripture Circle I saw quickly what to do;
Funny that, it’s like he said, “Three circles you will need”,
Helps to bring things down to earth, and grow a little seed.

So, day one, I see the part about Augmented Text
Being needed – way beyond my skills, so on to next;
Maybe it is best if I just carry on, reflect,
On this module, and its base cross-references in text.

With five hundred modules in the Gospel’s teaching part,
Take a week or two to think before augmenting art;
That would take a day or two to finish up in style –
Gives me lots to think about, and guidance all the while.

Thanks Lord.
