His
grace alone sufficient
our
only hope in him
otherwise
the struggles
more
than we can handle
walking
here on earth
The
questions too huge
the
word why falling from our lips
struggling
to comprehend
how
this could be part of a plan
the
path for our lives
Yet
we pray in the darkness
walking
in the shadow times
believing
Your are with us
that
good will come of this
in
some future day
That
the struggles, the pain
the
randomness of life
the
burdens we carry
all
will come to Your glory
when
the work here is done

Answering the Clay
The potter spoke
out of the whirlwind
answering the claim
rebuking his claims
the demands he dared to speak
A reminder, the distance to God
how far below
is the home of man
Walking in the dust
rather than riding the clouds
Marveling at the works
of His majestic hands

------------------------
His
Comeuppance
In
the chapters growing
wondering
when it would happen
when
his comeuppance
his
response would come
Over
and over questioning the creator
challenging
God, not just asking
demanding
an accounting
a
justification from the one who made us
A
mortal asking for a reason from the potter
stubborn
clay, judging God
His
answer in the whirlwind
the
challenge of the maker
Where
were you when I made all?
Who
are you to question me;
and
what right do you claim
calling
me to task?
