All glory to God

How great is thy wisdom,
That, in knowing the ones, 
Who would rule and destroy,
The lands and people to gain self pride,
Glory of man and riches that perish.
Would bring the word of God ,
To their  own destruction and fattened hearts.
In their deception they are doing God's work.
In spreading the gospel that tells of their evil works.
Some, have banned your word from their country,
But, this ban does not escape their judgement.
For, all are appointed to death,
Only, by God's living breath does one escape 
The second death.
Who can tell the  God of the Living,
That your word is not acceptable here.
But, all glory to God for getting the true word out.
That, the poor and true ones seeking God,
With a pure and contrite heart might receive,
The eternal inheritance of the promised spirit,
To mold and purify One into A Child of the Living God. As , silver going through the furnace burning out impurities to be a shining gem of God.

Those with pure and contrite hearts will see the glory of God and will be wafted into it. Others will have to suffer eternal damnation. Those who forsake the Word of God will be punished while people like you who devote a lifetime to spread His word will be amply rewarded. A beautiful poem dear Stephan. Stay Blessed!
