Why Thumb Your Nose At God
Do not take revenge, my friends,
but leave room for God’s wrath,
for it is written: “It is mine to avenge.
I will repay,” says the Lord.
Romans 12:19 Bible NIV
WHY THUMB YOUR NOSE AT GOD
sins will be dealt with
why thumb your nose at God
with wiggling fingers
the itch of such
wanting to right all wrongs
and you believe
you’re writing your own song
but does this magic trick
of disappearing napkins
sawing boxes in half
contradict
one day you will be laid in a box
your history sorted through
that napkin will dab the eyes
of what you thought was true
surely on bended knee
the God of eternity
can better sort
out our affairs
