More to life ...

Job 4:6 

Is not your piety your confidence,
and your blameless ways your hope?

 

There is more to life than this ... it cannot begin and end here.

There must be a personal relationship ... that makes all worthwhile.

There can’t be this much indifference that all need to be measured.

No there is much more than that ... and that makes nature smile.

 

It is not the natural’s survival that helps creation in this sphere.

No it is the super natural ... that keeps all issues in check.

There is One Mighty God ... Who at times will overrule

When things get out of kilter ... or one plays with a marked deck.

 

We know the destiny of it all ... for it is written in the heart.

We may hide it from ourselves ... or simply run away.

One thing is for certain so ... somewhere it will catch up

And then it is decided where our future be ... in the Eternal stay.

 

So confidence is not in my reverence ... but in the Mighty God.

Integrity is not my hope ... but the Son of the Living God.

There is much more than meets the eye ... or what flesh can comprehend.

It really starts where the flesh ends ... in the places it enters not.

 

Job knew that his Redeemer lived ... that is where it all started.

In the bitterness of his soul ... his flesh reigned unrestricted.

The only part it could not touch ... was Job’s spirit in the whole

Even though it was all done ... to keep Job broken and afflicted.

 

I guess cursing God is not done by mouth at all.

It is a matter of the mind as it takes full control.

Of not only the human being ... but also of his spirit

and in such will remain ... in the deadness of his soul.
