This is it, This is me – With all my wisdom, And the knowledge I thought I had: Yesterday outsmarted me, And Today already smiles in triumph.
But, hey! No more! My own understanding is like a flower: At bloom at dusk, At gloom at dawn; So, I won’t build beds with it, Unless I want to sleep on rocks again.
So, while I get ready to move on, I’ll tell life:
Plan A, Definitely God. I can’t afford it – To have my behind whooped yet again;
Plan B? Sure. Still God. After all, to lose, What have I got?
Plan C, Oh. God! Why not? Thrice is never a mistake, There’s still time to rise;
Plan D, Hmmmm…God. I’ve never seen my own liver, Yet, I know it’s there;
Plan E, Errrrrr… God? It’s hard to be grateful, But I’m still alive;
Plan F, See, it’s God. My options are still there, But they mock me so well;
Plan G, So far, so good. God. The wait seems long, But Trust is Patient;
Plan H, I, J, K… It cannot not be God. He hasn’t failed yet, I don’t think He will, ever;
Plan Z? Well, no other way. God, it is. I used to have alternatives, But I can’t seem to find them anymore!
So, God is all I’ve got, And if not Him, What else will work?
Poet’s Note:
One reason why Faith does not work for many people is because of their residual beliefs in themselves and their own abilities. They claim to believe and trust God, yet, there are still residues of doubt and belief-in-self lurking around in dark corners of their hearts.
God is a jealous God. He will not share His glory with any man. And He’s ready only to work in the life of that person who has decided to put all hope and trust in His infinite abilities.
We have to renounce all other alternatives that we have and consciously decide that without God’s help, we can’t succeed. Only then can success be really sure. And only then can God do that which only He can do in our lives.
Proverbs 3:5-8 says:
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Shalom!
