A Confrontation With Knowledge
if you think you know everything you could not be more mistaken
for by someone who knows even less on a ride you might be taken
so during your lifetime gain all the knowledge that you can
read and study everything that comes across your hands
it's not about going to a college noted for its prestige
it's about how you divine the truth in knowledge and how you then proceed
in the story of the beggar who was blind since his inception
he had a physical disability since the day of his conception
many people thought that he was blind because of a sin he had done
but afflictions are just challenges in life that one needs to overcome
but Jesus viewed his blindness in a different way
it was an opportunity to show the power of God that day
for God will use mankind's deficiencies
to build upon His Kingdom of efficiency
Jesus used his weakness to show the unbelievers God's glory
He used that man's blindness to show a spiritual allegory
He then took some spit and dirt and placed it on the beggar's face
it was an opportunity to put a miracle into place
Jesus was sent as a manifestation a part of God's master plan
Jesus was sent to open the eyes of each and every man
He came to show mankind that knowledge and wisdom is a plus
for man will always be in the blind if in God he does not trust
in all actuality we're all blind beggars in life
in all actuality we need the Savior the Lord Christ
we've tried some crazy and foolish things attempting to satisfy our souls
until we finally realized that we needed Father God to be in control
we've been in situations where we've discovered we have a need
and it's those time we call on Father God to intercede
many times we've been blind in pursuit of a quest
and that's when the Holy Spirit puts us to the test
then God will send you to a place where you'll feel like you're walking around blind
just trust in Him to guide you and keep an open mind
He will give you instruction and then tell you to wait
so don't walk by sight but learn to walk on faith
as it's not always what you see but most times what you feel
it's when your spirit lines up with God the truth is then revealed
learn to confront all the knowledge that you have gained
divine the wisdom in it so only the truth will remain
a confrontation with knowledge and all in life that you have learned
plus faith in God's wisdom and the spirit to discern
