TO QUESTION GOD

How easy it is to question God
When things are not going
As we expect them
We make our plans
And decide our daily life
Not taking into consideration
That the decisions we make
And the steps we take
Are not our own
Who then really directs them
There are only two forces
If we walk in faith
God will direct our steps
If we walk in evil
Evil will direct our steps
How weak and foolish we are
To bend to what fleshly powers that be
How blind we are to fall prey to our weaknesses
How weak we are to fall into a trap
A trap that grabs us
Pulls us in
Sinking us to the bottom of the well
Where darkness reigns
How hard it is to climb out of the darkness
But we can
We can
But would it not be better to resist this evil
To recognize it
And not fall into the trap
How evil prepares a most luscious trap
So that we become blind
Walk right in
Willingly
We have to recognize this
And resist
Once we start to resist
God will strengthen this resistance
And pull us through
He will
But we need to recognize this weakness
Call out
Reach out
His hand is ever ready
To pull us up
And out.
