Not So Divine

Of soothsayer and fortuneteller beware,
False oracles are everywhere.
Predictions of True God’s innermost plan
Comes from the forked tongue of man. 

Keep precious Bible close at hand,
Read often so to understand 
God reveals all in His own time.
Prepare thee now for Life Sublime.

Yes, we are warned in the bible, "Beware of false prophets." There are certainly a multitude of those today! Wise words.

a great rhyme, enjoyed reading this most creative piece. thank you for commenting on Wisdom for the Wise. I do them all but the spanking, that is because my kids are grown up, I have not had to spank my grandkids yet, and hope never have to, but the trobule with kids today is, their parents want to be buddys with them , we need more spankings, not beatings, but spankings and then only with certain things. the bible says to do this, spare not the rod..
