For the Benefit of the Soul by Brenda Drake

For the Benefit of the Soul

For the benefit of the soul there are things wise to do,
Things not only beneficial within but for those around you too.
Time spent in the Word makes you strong within;
But it’s also a strength that you can bestow on foe or friend.
Time spent in praise will the spirit lift;
Joy unspeakable and full of glory will be the benefit.
Time spent in prayer will move the enemy lines back;
It is a great work done that gets and keeps on the right path.
Time spent in laughter with a heart merry cause great increase too;
For in times of enjoyment there resides peace in you.
Time spent loving and forgiving one another,
Will cause life … hurting souls recover.
For the souls benefit, plant good uplifting words to the waiting ear.
Souls are built up strong when there is a good-word to hear.
Time spent in worship and in songs sweet,
Causes benefit for you are strengthened by the One that causes great increase.

Proverbs 1:5
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
