Numbers chapters 22-24
2 Peter 2:15
I noticed a note taped to the door that
said, in bold letters,
"HELP ME UNDERSTAND . . ."
Next to it was a photocopy of a typeset
page--a spoof on the test of
the Emergency Broadcast Network. "This
life is a test. It is only a test.
Had this been a real life, you would have
been given more instructions on where to go and what to do."
These two notes, taped to a door, alone,
side by side--they seemed so stark. I wondered why they had been
put up that way.
The Spirit stirred in me after I read it.
Perhaps this person just put this up a joke, but there are people who really
feel this way. I could feel the compassion of God for those people.
Then the words to a poem
started coming so I wrote them down:
|
"Why isn't my life working?
Is there a God somewhere?"
Then, at last, the answer comes,
"I'm here, but do you care?"
"I've often spoken to you,
But you would never hear,
Speaking words of light and hope,
Of purity and cheer."
"Long ago you heard me.
You thought that I was wrong.
Don't say your God won't show the way.
I've been here all along."
"And if you will receive me,
I've got my hand out still.
Find me while it's called today;
If you seek, you will."
"I'll guide if you will yield.
I'll comfort and I'll feed
If, just, your heart will yield to me.
Just try me. I will lead."
