Timebomb

Tick tick tick..... it seems like the earth 
is a giant timebomb ready to explode at
any moment.It is so very...... dark, decaying 
exponentially to the point of no return.Seems 
as if it is ready to burn.So many men totally
 out of joint,with their fingers they point at 
 something, anything other than at themselves.

They are like volcanos, ready to erupt and spew
as they agitate and stew not really knowing what
else to do. They only know that they want more 
than they have.Getting it, even through senseless
war, would be a salve.

Ironic, isn't it, that what they are truly searching for
 is peace. Although this they may not admit.And yet
they attempt to get it at the end of a gun. But that simply 
is not how it's done.If they could just hide their pride
and see that the battle has already been won.

Satan, the wiley villain,was soundly defeated long
ago with the help of a rugged tree that became
a cross.Christ's gain was Satan's loss, but oh....
it came with such a cost.All so we, His own special
creation, would not be lost for all eternity..... oh yes, 
the most glorious day in man's storied history.

Victorious Lord, you have promised to return again
to rescue all that sincerely embrace what you 
purposed to accomplish for us at Calvary.So come 
quickly Lord. Save us from ourselves and complete 
the plan as it is meant to be...... so that we might
spend eternity with Thee.
