Confounding and uncertain
Lie the events of this world.
A corporeal fear encased
In brick after brick of knowledge
Weighted heavier than beliefs or faith.
Schedules are set; plans made reality.
Resting in the back of the mind
A sudden interruption is feared,
Amassing such inner trauma
To make a body more stalwart
Against change of any kind.
Man-wallowing and shallow
Dismisses the True hand
Divining events while working out good.
The unknown, believed to be injurious,
Is content to surprise.
The atheist swears it is Fate.
The agnostic says he does not know.
The scholar speaks about reason.
The scientist stands by fact and observation.
All a jury deciding the fate of uncertainty
But without authority from the Judge.
I like this. It reminds me of that Psalm where it talks about how all the authorities on earth try to outwit God's plan and the psalmist says, "The Lord in heaven shall laugh" because he has it all in his hands. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Ruth. I wasn't thinking of that verse when I wrote it but it's a great application. I thought of this concept of life being always uncertain and how we just have to trust God that things will work out even when we can't see the end.
