People anger and complain
when disaster come upon them.
People get bitter at God.
when chaos surrounds them.

Some blaspheme the name of God
and do everything in their strength
to take Him out of the way.

Don't you realize, oh man.
that God is not a man that he should lie?
Don't you realize, oh man.
that God cannot be tempted or tempt anyone?
that people are dragged away by their own desires
only to be enticed by them?

Instead of seeking God after a calamity happens
we end up wallowing in hate
blaming him for the chaos we ourselves produced.

Don't you realize, oh man.
that God allows people to hunger and to humble you
in order to know what was in your heart.
to teach you that man does not live on bread alone
but of every word that comes from God.

Don't you realize, oh man
that God is slow to anger and great in mercy.
Don't you realize, oh man
that God is allowing you to live
in order to give a chance to seek Him.
Don't you realize, oh man
that God is giving you a golden opportunity
to repent from your sins.

You can say all you want,
but you can't deny God is love.
Despite all of the insults and hate
God refrains his justice for awhile
in order for his creatures to seek Him.

You can say all you want
against Him and His will,
but God is still the King
and He owes no explanation to anyone.
Don't you realize, oh man
that the Word that cmoes out of His mouth
will not return empty
but will do everything He purposes.
 
I especially love this line:

Don't you realize, oh man
that God is allowing you to live
in order to give a chance to seek Him.


Great truth there! Nice work.
