...the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

The words of Ecclesiastes
Do not bring comfort.
They are not the words
Of the gurus of this modern day,
But they still ring true.
We live in a capricious world.
We want to believe that
We control our destiny.
We do not.
Only God is in control.
We must trust his purpose,
Though for us the path is difficult
And the world is filled with pain.
Christ did not promise ease.
Christ promised to be with us.
Do not bring comfort.
They are not the words
Of the gurus of this modern day,
But they still ring true.
We live in a capricious world.
We want to believe that
We control our destiny.
We do not.
Only God is in control.
We must trust his purpose,
Though for us the path is difficult
And the world is filled with pain.
Christ did not promise ease.
Christ promised to be with us.
