Poetry

When the ceiling begins to give way
and the paint begins to peel.
When the foundation begins to sink
and the landlord may as well steal;
a believer can see the goodness of God,
rather than decay,
through the cracks and the bended tree:
all is well, and all will stay.

Christians take flight,
but not on a plane;
one that comes from on high,
one that acknowledges
how much more joy there is in suffering;
the kind that money just can’t buy.

So, when the secular answer
sends you running to the nearest store,
think about what God would have you do;
seeing His Hand at work,
will bring fresh meaning to conceive
of what actually should be new.

Therefore, when those bended trees threaten
and will not rescind,
God will uphold them,
and they will not break,
for His Hand is mightier than the wind.

So, what is better?
To go and buy a new house
that is in much better shape,
would seem the thing to do,
but as with the believer,
the solution aloof,
lies with only a few…..

Their decisions appears strange
to the secular world, and afar,
but those who know what true satisfaction is,
know how much better God’s upgrades really are!
