Frivolous
How is it we can think ourselves so mighty in the end
When for our very breath of life on Jesus we depend
Each heartbeat and each fiber in our nerves can only be
Enabled by the One true God Who rules eternity
For it is sadly comical to hear what some will say
How they have power in themselves to make their way each day
And power to enforce their will on what will happen next
When they can't even answer questions that keep them perplexed
Like how can just a little clay become humanity
How did the first life enter in the cell we cannot see
Or even how did that first cell design itself at all
When it had not a brain to think or past it could recall
And how can we have energy when life has left our soul
To think that from another place we still pursue some goal
When evidence is clearly shown that dust returns to dust
And nothing still means nothing when we have no mind to trust
Another Who is waiting Who knows what will be our end
Who made in our beginning all on which we now depend
And Who provides that energy so many see as god
When without Him we'd have no life or hope upon this sod
To see another second let alone another year
To even have a simple thought of why we might be here
When that's the most important question we should ask of all
What is my purpose in the mind of Him by Whom I'm called
For if we can be candid do we really find true joy
In planning for a future when reality annoys
Us with the fact we have not an assurance we will see
Tomorrow or this evening without some great tragedy
That will end our tomorrows as well as our here and now
Without realizing who God is and why and when and how
He wants and plans to use us in His kingdom here on earth
A purpose He has always had in mind before our birth
So friend if I might help you look beyond the things you see
To what the scriptures say God's planned for our eternity
Might I suggest you also take some time to know the One
Who'll meet you when He comes again and all our work is done
James 4:13-17; Ecclesiastes 3:1-22
