Wondering

I'm beginning to wonder
if God made the world.
or was it the devil
when God wasn't looking.

Brother John, for sure God made the world, the devil is just a dirty word. Sis Beryl

I agree with you sister Beryl, with all the wars and suffering going on around us, I do believe the devil is in control at the moment.

The undevil tried to undo the world but God had a plan in place. He is always one step, no - one eternity ahead of evil. We suffer out of God’s grace. He could have destroyed “in the image of God,” but instead became a man to suffer our eternal punishment so we might live. God bless!

Seeing some of the wicked acts and strange happenings, we are apt to wonder, if it is the devil or God created this earth. Indeed, we live in evil times.

So true Valsa it seems like the devil is in charge.

Ha, ha. God's partner sure makes things difficult, doesn't he?

Your "Wondering" is powerful write with few words. The bible says God, so it is God. Earth is just the devils playground. Have a wonderful day as you write away..................

I bet a lot of people think this way sometimes. You can be assured it was God, but I think today, there are too many people prone to follow the wrong one! These are crazy times we live in, that's for sure. Nice poem!

Dear John, a deep and soulful and sincere poem this is, yes, seeing how the world is right now, we question everything, because of the level of darkness we are witnessing today: but still hope for the best: pleasure visiting your page today: sending you light always
