Reckoning Without GOD

 

Reckoning Without GOD

At times, I have been pushed

Toward places, I just didn't want to go

 I had already made up my mind about where

I'd planned to go, but I had reckoned without GOD

But I found out that my plans didn't matter

Because GOD taught me some things that

I did not personally know

And when the Lord finished with me,

I, like Jonah, went where my life‘s plan did flow.

I’ve been led to places that,

When I was younger, I had no idea that I would go

But I learned to let go and let GOD and

Have been pushed into places that have had me agog

But I just kept on working and among

Other things, ended up writing a blog

That talks to boy, girl, woman, and man

To say, "Put Jesus at the head of your life,

 Because HIS plans always get carried out

About this, fellowman, have no doubt."©

At the Crossroads

Some roads are posted with clear signs

As to the road's final destination

And sometimes you can find yourself being

Pushed pell-mell down said road

But you can always turn around

As long as you’re breathing and your mind is sound.

 

Never think that you have lost so much

That you have nothing else to lose

Because, as stated above, as long as

You’re alive, you have the option to choose

Your soul, not to lose.

 

So, I try to be careful in whose footsteps I walk

I watch what a person does and I watch how they talk

And if their actions and their talk seem to be

In alignment, then I look at the roadmap

Of the road on which they travel

And I decide as to whether they’re

Walking on a smooth highway or a path of fiery stones.

 

Make of these poems what you will

But understand this, I am making my way

Up VMBS HILL (Victory Marked by Saints’ Hill)

For I know that GOD, JESUS, and the Spirit will

Assure me of victory by keeping me strong

And not allowing the fiery darts of the

Enemy, my faith in GOD, to kill.©

Be safe.
