The Point (Matthew 16:21; Isaiah Chapter 31)
So what’s the point – our use of cash?
To have it hold? Give out, then ask
God to provide some more for us
To pass along, relieve some fuss?I think it’s in that power thing
The answer lies, so truth now rings
Like bell that’s tolling in my brain –
“We want His power to flow again –“Within our world – but we don’t feel
God using us, although we kneel
Before Him morning, noon, and night” –
How can we set things back to rights?The problem is quite simply seen
In reed selected, which we lean
Upon to get along in life –
Our source of power in calm and strife –For it’s not God who is the power
We trust in Satan’s tempting hour –
It’s “anything but God” we say,
As we from Eden walk away.That ruler’s problem wasn’t cash,
But more, reliance on his stash;
“ Dump that – just walk away, you’ll view
The road you seek – what’s ailing you”.That’s what Christ said to him that day,
“That broken reed which is your stay
And comfort in the stormy night –
Let go – take hold of God, so right –“Side up your life will be once more;
Just walk away – there’s life galore
If you’ll stop trusting in your cash –
For you, your problem is your stash”.Well, maybe that’s not us today;
Some other reed for us is stay
And comfort in the whirl or calm,
In Gilead provides our balm.It matters not – what e’er it is
It’s frail indeed – like in our biz –
It’s not the cash which brought us here,
But trust in God, despite our fear.Thanks, Lord.
