Do We?

An Original Work / March 20, 2018

Based off Job 38-42

When the things of this life

Do not go as planned,

Do we trust in our Lord?

Or trust then in man?

Are we tempted to fear

How things now will go?

Do we question our God

On things we should know?

Do we think that we know

Now better than God?

Were we there when He formed

The earth with its sod?

Did we fashion the seas

Inside our own hands?

Have we ordered the day; 

The night we command?

Is our answer, instead,

Put hand over mouth?

Do we humble ourselves,

Refuse to be proud?

Do we see that our God,

Has made all these things?

And, that truly we do 

Lack understanding?

Do we trust that He plans

What truly is best?

Of our sins, now repent

In dust and ashes?

Do we recognize now

That God truly knows

What He’s doing with us?

His love He bestows?

For, our God has a plan

For each of our lives.

So, with God’s perfect plan,

Then, we should not strive.

Trust our lives in His care,

Our sins we’ll defeat.

Follow Him where He leads.

Our needs He will meet.
