A question for the ages echoes on...
With disdain demands the skeptic,
"Where is God?"
In dismay enquires the seeker,
"Where is God?"
In distress implores the saintly,
"Where is God?"
Is there not some revelation--
"Here is God"?
To reveal Himself, no mandate;
To self-vindicate, no need;
God defies our comprehension,
But... to save us, He would bleed!
Though religious signs and knowledge
To a man may seem so right,
Our self-confidence and "wisdom"
Plunged us deeper into night.
Through the fog of human thinking
Cuts true wisdom like a knife;
By the "foolishness" of preaching
Do we find eternal life.
In our weakness, fear and blindness,
God gives power, peace, and light;
Lifts us from the pit of darkness
With both gentleness and might.
Loudly ringing, come clear messages from God:
To the skeptic, comes this answer,
"Turn to God!"
To the blind but honest seeker,
"Hear from God."
To the stressed, confused believer,
"Wait on God."
And the Scriptures' greatest answer,
"Christ is God!"
The purpose of these rhymes is to help point us back to the timeless, absolute truths of scriptures such as
I Corinthians 1:18-24, Colossians 1:12-20, and Romans 10:9-17
