Leaving The Land of
Idols
It’s a good thing to renew my mind to the fact,
that all blessings are coming from You;
Not dependent on me being exact;
but, rather, believing You.
And, paramount that I’m willing to alter;
Chase off all “birds of prey”...
that are trying to feed on the sacrifice finished,
because I don’t believe what You say.
How many times, I fight the air;
Make excuses, as if You don’t care;
So, here I am; another day...
killing the vultures; maintaining Your way.
I know that You don’t want me walking exhausted;
It’s a matter of my persuasion,
because, when I do, what You said comes to pass;
to stop those vultures invasions.
Like Abraham, I’ve made some wrong turns;
as I’ve tried, my life to expand,
when the only instruction You’ve given to me:
Let multiplication come from My Hand.
Thank you for favor that allowed me this;
How could I not be grateful?
But, I ask you, Lord, because I’m Your heir,
for the manifestation of Your perfect care.
The world system’s pressures,
with many wrong turns,
seems able to hold captive
with all that I’ve learned.
Yet, if Abraham had made statement like that,
He would have remained in Ur.
It’s harder to come out of Ur than I thought,
when casually reading Your Word;
But, my choice to stay in this kind of decay,
becomes even more absurd!
I imagine, with Abraham, it too preparation;
A very definite plan,
to actually leave that land of idols
and place himself in Your Hands.
If my plan is not to come out of that way,
I doubt there’s inheritance for any day.
Your supply and protection is only needed,
when You are my source
and I’m being completed...
to prove that Your payment is not in vain,
as I leave the Idols of Abundant Pain.
