Unproductivity

Unproductivity

by Joel Howard

Our unproductivity is productive

God slowing us down speeds us ahead

Our limitations take us further

God hemming us in frees us instead

More can happen when we stop

Than when we push through the walls

Less happens when we strive

Than when, in pausing, we recall

Teach me once again to ponder

Challenge me day in and day out

Search me deep inside and know me

Help me know what you're about

Slow me down to see the process

Hem me in to know my heart

Walk with me, my precious Jesus

Help me know how great you are!
