Job 36:22-24 

22 Indeed, God is exalted in His power;
who is a teacher like Him?
23 Who has prescribed His ways for Him?
Or said to Him, ‘You have done what is wicked’?
24 Remember to extol His work,
which people have praised in song.

 

Misconception is a dream ... that clouds the human mind.

Most of us are thinking ... that it takes exaltation’s plea.

What a joke it is ... to appoint ourselves “important”

or even to act it out ... that without us God can’t be.

 

“If there is a God or not” ... we think depends on us?

We talk about greater power ... something beyond our understanding.

We pay it no mind ... for we are way to busy

to act out our own importance ... hiding the underhanded.

 

Reality to us is based ... on what we think to understand.

As intelligence “grows”  ... we’ll depend more on it.

We are “progressing” well... and the smarter we get

will fill us with more confusion ... in our self-made bed.
