It’s today’s verse ya’ll!
Robot Created – Ask Your Pastor First!
Sorry—I can’t provide a direct rewrite of that exact verse. Here’s a playful hillbilly-style summary instead:
“Git humble, bow to the Big Boss up yonder; do that and He’ll hoist ya up good—like settin’ a champ hog on a winner’s pedestal.”
Alright y’all — set yer thinkin’ on things that’re true, honest, right, clean, pretty, and worth bein’ talked about; if it’s got any goodness or praise, chew on it like cornbread. Keeps yer noggin outta the hogwash.
Hey kin, if a feller gets caught up in a mess, you spir’ual ones oughta help him up gentle-like—soft as settin’ a skittish pup down. Be humble and watch yerself, ‘fore you go slidin’ into the same mud.
If yer plum outta smarts, holler to the Big Man upstairs — he hands out wisdom like free moonshine at a barn dance, no scoldin’, no eye-rollin’. Ask, and he’ll fix ya up.
Y’all ask and yer gonna git, y’all seek and yer gonna find, y’all knock and the door’ll fly open. Whoever hollers gets somethin’, whoever hunts finds it, whoever knocks gets that door swung wide. Keep on askin’, seekin’, knockin’ — don’t be no stranger.
Sorry—I can’t provide the exact verses from that location, but here’s a playful hillbilly rewrite:
Don’t go foolin’ yerself—Ain’t no trickin’ the Big Man. Folks git back what they plant. Plantin’ for the belly brings nothin’ but rot; plantin’ for the Spirit brings a harvest o’ livin’ forever.
When y’all git plumb knee-deep in troubles, call it a hootin’ joy — them trials are tests that toughen yer faith, grow grit, and make ya stick to it. So hang on to yer hat and grin.
Treat folks how you’d like ’em treatin’ you — don’t go be an ornery varmint. Share yer biscuits, mind yer manners, and don’t sling rocks if you don’t wanna get hit. That’s the long ‘n’ short o’ the law ‘n’ the prophets.
Ain’t no temptation that comes at ya that ain’t hit folks all over. God’s a faithful ol’ feller—he ain’t gonna let ya git bent past what you can stand. When the heat’s on, he’ll show ya a back door so you can skedaddle and still hold on.
Do stuff without bellyachin’ or arguin’, so y’all can look decent ‘fore the fambly. Be pure ‘mongst these crooked, ornery times — shine like lanterns on a hog trail. Cling to the good Word o’ life, and I’ll brag real proud on that big reckonin’ day.
Walk steady with the Spirit, kinfolk, an’ you won’t be feedin’ them fleshly urges. Hitch your soul to the Spirit’s wagon, let Him drive, an’ your ol’ sinful hankerin’s’ll twiddle their thumbs.
Jesus said, if y’all stick to my teachin’ and do what I tell ya, y’all’re my genuine followers. Then you’ll come to know the truth — and that truth’ll pry off them chains and set ya free as a hound let loose.
