With God all things are possible
Why, that’s in His Holy Word
But does that also mean
That God revels in the absurd?
Of course, it surely does not
For God is a God of purpose
And the entirety of His sovereign will
Is focused on His Son, Jesus.
Don’t ask God
To do the impossible
For God does not do the absurd
Or the unthinkable.
Don’t ask God
To reverse a process
For God is not subject to any creature
That puts Him to the test.
Don’t ask God
To turn back the time
For time that is passed is passed
And God is not so inclined.
Don’t ask God
To pander to your wishes
As though He can be indebted to anyone
And returns favours by kisses.
Don’t ask God
To grant to you a special favour
Citing, like some are wont to do,
Their faithfulness and labour.
Don’t ask God
To repair a perceived flaw
For God is not in the fixing business-
After all, He is God.
Don’t ask God
To undo a committed act
Because even the omnipotent God
Cannot do that.
Don’t Ask God
To alter a known or unknown fact
As though it is so disconcerting
That He has to take it back.
Don’t ask God
To effectively change His mind
Concerning some established truth
Because it has you in a bind.
Don’t ask God
To go against His nature
For then He would not be the Creator
But just another creature.
Don’t ask God
To violate His own word
For that is the greatest impossibility…
This goes beyond the absurd!
Don’t ask God
To change what He has set before time
Hoping to prove the point
That God can change His mind.
God’s purpose is set in train
His will can in no way be thwarted,
He has done whatever pleases Him
And He cannot be converted.
Fear Him and walk in wisdom
His word alone is truth,
Trust Him, praise Him and thank Him,
And as His living epistle, be proof.
