Knowledge
Job 36:2-3
2 “Be patient with me a little longer
and I will instruct you,
for I still have words to speak on God’s behalf.
3 With my knowledge I will speak comprehensively,
and to my Creator I will ascribe righteousness.
Knowledge
Where does it originate ... what is its real substance
forming things together … to address a mighty God?
Like building Babel again … but now we use computers
in thought to reach Heaven … to bring down the Mighty God.
A valley of dead bones … we use to start a mighty structure.
In the progress that we make … we’ll serve a god of comfort.
Not realizing that without the Lord … not even a breath is taken
as we mingle and twist together … in a ball of slime of sorts.
Real knowledge comes from God ... it is disguised as wisdom
to understand and live right … without chasing self-desire.
Admiration of man in temporal … only lasts a moment
then when the “end” comes ... who will pull you from the mire?
If there is any righteousness … that dwells within me
it must be from the Lord … cause of depravity in my soul.
There is no deliverance … outside of Christ, my Savior
that is true reality … as stretched out in the whole.
How much do I appreciate … what Jesus has done for me?
How much do I realize … what He delivered me from?
How much, how much I wonder … of me is just alive
and outside of just existing … in this death syndrome?
It is easily said and done … “I owe all things to Him”
as we spew out iniquity … in the lifestyle that we live.
Is it any wonder… that the world despises us
as we stand up for nothing ... and still are proud of it.
