Who will clarify?


Job 11:12 

12 For an empty-headed man will be wise,
When a wild donkey’s colt is born a man.

 

Who will clarify?

 

I am called to be something … who will clarify?

I am driven somewhere … who is in the driver’s seat?

I am next to nothing … who sits in my place?

I am cold all over … who will provide the heat?

 

Ezekiel 36:26 

26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

 

Hearts of stone … who selects and stacks them?

A self-directed mind … who knows it best?

An empty chosen life … who is there to fill it?

A day lost in time … who explains it nevertheless?
