Concerning Sovereignty
There is only One,
History has its Emperors and kings
But they are long gone.
Pseudo sovereignty
Meaning a mere pretense
But never having ultimate control
Whatever their intent.
The Emperors of Rome
And the great kings of Israel:
They all suffered irreversible defeat
In their final battle.
The Presidents of today
And Prime Ministers as well
Are destined to lose their life battle
After their spell.
Death is appointed
For both great and small
And when death dials our number,
None can stall.
Pseudo sovereignty
Is all that we have got
And whether Emperor or pauper,
Death is our lot.
God is the only Sovereign
And there’s not another,
Don’t you dare consider the devil:
That deceptive usurper.
Now man has free will
Given to him by God
Meaning he has limited choice,
That is all.
He is not sovereign
And this is so very clear
For he lives for a period of time
And then disappears.
Man may choose
Whether to live or die
And this must be seen in two ways:
One being suicide.
Or he can remain dead
In his trespasses and sins
And refuse the gift of salvation
God offers to him.
Man can choose to work
Or idle away all day,
He can choose to become muted
Or have a say.
He can choose a job
And build a nice career
Or be a recluse and from people
Stay clear.
He can have a family,
I mean of his own
Or having been born into a family,
He can go off alone.
A Myriad choices
Are available to all
But understand choice is unlimited
Only to God.
God sets the limit
On the choices of man
And we can accept or reject Him
If we so plan.
BUT
There are consequences
To the choices we make
And these can be very heart wrenching
Like here of late.
Choices by our leaders
And important others
That put harsh measures in place
And cause great bother.
Nations against Nations
In skirmishes and war
Choosing weapons of destruction
To show their power.
Taking another’s resources
By sheer brute force:
The animals’ survival of the fittest
Now man’s recourse.
Changing their gender
As though this is possible
And then actually agitating for it,
Though reprehensible.
Man is not a robot
But then, neither is God
And because He is the I AM that I AM
He is sovereign of all.
Creating Adam and Eve
God gave them a rule:
It was His way or the other way;
They could choose.
Think of a world
Without restrictive choice:
Wherein are no rules or regulations:
No regulating voice.
No reason, no empathy,
Just all is civil anarchy!
Surely God did not create the world
For this to be.
Hence a Sovereign voice
With ultimate control
That can limit the despicably wicked
And put evil on hold.
Thus, the reason for death
And the limit imposed,
I AM that I AM is the only Sovereignty
And none other comes close.
We can do as we like
But not for as long as we like
For Almighty God is in ultimate control
And will set things right.
Free will is limited
And this is without doubt
So, to rulers of countries and nations,
So is your clout.
