God’s grace alone
sufficient
our only hope in Christ
otherwise the struggles
more than we can handle
walking here on earth
The questions too large,
unanswerable,
the word why falling from
our lips
struggling to comprehend
how this could be part of
a plan
that there is justice in
this
Yet we pray in the
darkness
walking in the shadow
times
that good will come of
this
in some future day
in God’s appointed time
That the struggles, the
pain
the randomness of life
that this will make sense
somehow
that 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?
