Take a bite and chew a while


2 Timothy 3:16-17 New English Translation (NET Bible)

16 Every scripture is inspired by God and useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the person dedicated to God may be capable and equipped for every good work.

 

Take one bite ... call it a meal in dissatisfaction

Take one sip ... to quench all thirst as a distraction

Write one word ... call it a book in a distorted illusion

Give a "one" kiss and call it love toward one’s conclusion

 

If today the Lord has made ... when did He design it?

If all things are known to Him ... when did He define it?

If He knows our every need ... how did he prime it?

If He knows our every thought ... how did He confine it?

 

If all things are preplanned ... would that be fatalistic?

If nothing happens by accident was it then so scripted?

Are we to understand it all or should we go just ballistic?

If all things have a precedent than nothing is left mystic
