14. no other God

(photo by SpinC)

He is no salad-bar religion
that you can choose attributes from
He is complete and sovereign
no need for criteria for selection

a far cry from Hinduism
from Islam or Buddhism
the promises of all religions in the world
are surpassed far more than a thousandfold

He works all things together for good
even if you get raw deal after raw deal
be reminded of Joseph's story
great things happened even after he was sold into slavery

what men meant for evil
God can turn around to be meant for good
refuse to worry about the evil done to you
you will be justified, as a child of God should

seek Him continually, discover Him more
convictions come with the hunger in your heart
receive strong faith in your heart and mind
that from Him you'd never grow apart

dig in His words, study the Scriptures
God will reveal to you who He is
read, look up, ponder~
experience how your Faith increase

turn away from your self-rule
turn to Him instead that's what he wants
all that you are, all that you have
Ask in prayer and understand
