Resolved:
No more shall I waste my breath
Screaming of wrongs
When I cannot see rights
Pursued by the people who complain
No more shall I waste my breath
Speaking pearls of wisdom
To men who squeal as pigs
Hungry for evil and sloth
When my words need to approach Heaven
There are needs in this world
That go beyond my ability
My reach
My power
Only the God of Moses
Of David
Of Paul
Of me
Can handle this world's pains
Released:
My false hopes
My selfishness
My care for wasteful things
My sensitivity to perceived hurts
My challenge of rightful authority
My faithlessness
My hate
My fear
My ego
My code
My self-made godliness
My wasted breath
Cannot stand another moment
Of lying to myself
God must rule more than my heart
More than my wallet and bank account
The God of all must rule my life
Or my life is worth nothing
I seek a higher profit margin
My soul must profit peace
When war rages all around me
This day
I begin again
This day
I win by God's hand
This day
I resolve
To release.

Man I am SO glad that you have this little sanctuary here. I'm privileged that you allow access to it. I share in your thoughts and in your brotherhood.
Blessings to you.
Sojourner! How are you? Thank you for the kind words, man. This blog is where I address my soul's need for a living God in crazy times. Writing here has forced me to look at ME, to examine what kind of Christian I am...and the truth was far from pretty until I stopped trying to be a nice guy who did some stuff, even though he meant well. Only God, through the blood of Jesus Christ, can clean away our sin and empower us to live the kind of life that God mandates.
Just my thoughts...and Scripture...
