Through the eyes of
Job
hearing the words
of his companions
his replies crying
from his heart,
wanting to confront
God
Through
the eyes of a believer
someone
righteous before God
and
yet still struggling
to
understand pain in the world
Learning
lessons for our lives
in
the wisdom in the dialogue
able
to come before God with questions
but
needing to be mindful
of
our station compared to Him
Though
we cannot fully comprehend
the
distance of man from God
Job
gives us a boundary
that
we never should cross
Through
the eyes of the faithful
trying
to understand the world,
the
injustice and trials,
yet
also counting on God

------------------------
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
