Scolded Child
the stubbornness of me
has put me in deep
but I can't deny
the greatness of Thee†
all of my control–
set in captivity
as You† bring Your† hand
down on me
–not in subtle–
but instantly...directly
job knew this powerful deed
many have felt and seen
You† can push all eyes away
turn people to blind
give loneliness new bleeds
then bring in welcomeness
one by one–
all on how You† deem
You† have the power
to bring life or death
people contend it's luck
or an accident
or a vicious attack
they don't see
it's God's† tip
of His† hat
the predestined fact
without prayer
without glorification
no changes...it remains
you will suffer
for He† wills you to suffer
you succeed
for He† wills your success
you mourn
for He† wills you to do so
if you go through life
deaf and blind
your predestiny remains in kind
if you listen and see
newness of destiny can be
when He† demands you
there's nothing you can do
there's no dues to pay
there's no getting outta
anyone's way
you must do
or He'll† torment you
'til you comply in the do
so do what He† ask of you
without question or drool

I’ve done some reading online, some of the experiences I’m having aren’t written about…well, not what I’m finding anyway. There’s a part, which I’ll explain later, that is bothering me a great deal. I fight it. Well, I was basically scolded for fighting it then…THEN…I opened my Bible and there it was…JOB! I haven’t been led to Job in quite a while, but I in my argument, I used Job and there it is today…GOD IS AMAZING!
