Unknown or well ...


Hebrews 10:26-27 New English Translation (NET Bible)

26 For if we deliberately keep on sinning after receiving the knowledge of the truth, no further sacrifice for sins is left for us, 27 but only a certain fearful expectation of judgment and a fury of fire that will consume God’s enemies.

 

Titus 3:7 New English Translation (NET Bible)

7 And so, since we have been justified by his grace, we become heirs with the confident expectation of eternal life.”

 

 

Expectation where do you come from?

Where for goodness sake do you originate?

Why are you so different in one to another?

As you dominate some and others enslave?

 

“Be no respecters of persons”, written long ago

And now seems to have been so long forgotten

As the admired and leaders stepping on all toes

As direct behavior and will of the ill-begotten

 

Servant and slave searching for a master

“Give me security”, seems their lonely cry

From birth to death in hope to be faster

Than their peers within their fruitless lives

 

“Give me life and liberty”, whispers from history

Pointed out by futility in search of happiness

Good, bad and confusion are interwoven in a potpourri

That is now fed to all in some fateful faithlessness

 

Stuffed to the brim with nowhere to go

We crawl in a corner to analyze our blessings

If we close our eyes we will surely know

That whatever happens, is a gift of our guessing

 

We don’t need now to leave our hibernation

When we wake up it all will just get worse

Maybe after all in our field of frustration

We’ll reap what we sowed stuffed in a hearse
