Here I am again
With this longing to write
But as has happened before
Nothing’s in sight.
Nothing on the horizon
Or even beyond,
Maybe I should stop here
And be gone.
But it’s a challenge
That I must overcome,
Some idea will come along
Before I am done.
Writer’s block? Nah!
There are so many topics,
I just want to move away
From what is habit.
I just came on an idea
Let me see if I can work it,
When I have expressed it
Then you can edit.
Is God still doing
Or has God already done?
I’d love to have your thoughts
On this precise one.
God is a planner
All can see this is a fact,
Having set things in motion
Why would He look back?
As though He is man
And does not know in full
Thus, has to make adjustments
Like ordinary people.
God who is proactive
Has put everything in place,
No fallaciousness in Him
No, not a trace.
God’s will be done
As the prayer clearly states,
He alone already knows
What is our fate.
As said in another place
All’s history in God’s eyes,
That He knows everything
Is no surprise.
God doesn’t have to do
Having already done,
Battles past present and future
He has already won
The doing is the Spirit’s
As he directs to the cross,
Another tick in the Book of Life
For no longer lost.
It is happening again
Across the whole wide world,
Not my occasional block
But the Gospel is heard.
Another checked off
That has come home,
Calling safe and election sure;
Nevermore to roam.
