Dare I Doubt?
Dare I doubt God?
(I feel poetic…)
“Dare I doubt?
For when I doubt, I surely pout.
And when I pout, I’m in a box –
and can't get out.
Woe is me then… oh tell me my sin!
My sin, as usual, has closed me in.
"Why" dare I doubt when God is so good?
He forever behaves – just as He should.
It is I who is wrong.
This, God has known.
Nonetheless, He loves me still - and
To help me get right, He shows me His will.
I have no reason - to ever complain,
When the God of all, knows me by name.
He keeps me in - His loving care
He protects me always…
So WHY do I dare...?
Doubtless, with God’s help
I will not doubt... so here I come,
I’m stepping out.
Cut the ropes that bind this senseless bin,
Get me out of the box
No more stepping in!
Dare I doubt? Dare you doubt too?
Let us walk in faith and to God be true.
Here I come world – get out of my way…
Or decide to come along
To the place we should stay…
Yes, In God’s presence
Where ‘doubt’ has no power…
And ‘faith in God’ – Rules every single hour!”

It's so good to see you again and you are always surprising me. Your write poetry also. My great grandmother wrote poetry and I have a few cousins who inherited her genes, but not me. You are truly blessed and I enjoyed the poem so much. Hope to see you more often here in blogland.
ReplyDeleteEllen! I just saw this tonight - am I boxed in or not ? I think so - but you have lightened my corner tonight with this appearance from you. I kept checking back to see if you had left your footprints here. But I couldn't see you. That's because you were in that BOX!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you have left the box again. I pray that you are determined to stay on top instead of inside that ole box. You have much to say to a waiting watching world. So get on that box and start shoutin for the Glory to fall.
Love your poetry too, dear soul. I finally posted a new post tonight - so now it's your turn to update here. Well maybe you can wait til after Christmas... I have such a hard time updating. Life is too overwhelming sometimes, isn't it?
I wanted to wish you the best of God's blessings for this celebratory season.
May His favor shine down on you and give you His peace.
Hugs, my dear Ellen
