Your Wisdom

Date:

Will you talk for God wickedly?
On His behalf talk venally;
Maybe your thoughts are stupidly,
Or saying something truthfully.

Will you favor Him who made you?
As you argue for Him in Court;
Telling everything as true,
Signing as such in your report.

Will it go well when He questions,
Cross-examines what you have done;
When reacting on suggestions,
Or trick Him on treachery won.

Will the Lord really defend you?
If you secretly favor Him;
Being partial what you construe,
That He gives you vigor and vim.

Does His majesty frighten you?
Does it not produce some fear?
Because of the debt that is due,
Knowing that collection is near.

Your recollections are evil,
As your proverbs have been useless;
As if written by the devil,
That is displaying your blindness.

Be quiet for I want to speak,
Let what will happen to occur;
Whatever the future will seek,
Regardless if I do concur.

I bite off more than I can chew,
Taking my life in my own hands;
But neither am I Greek or Jew,
Following what Scripture demands.

God should kill me for I have no hope,
But defend myself to His face;
As I will continue to cope,
Even though I am a disgrace.

For this will be my salvation,
Since no godless man can come near;
Being weak with the temptation,
That just the righteous can revere.

Richard Sherrer is actually retired from the United States Air Force about 14 years ago. He had lived in Korea while in the Air Force in 1972 and 1973. You might be asking yourself what brought him back to Korea. I guess you could say that it was a lot of love here, for the country, the people and especially for a Christian woman that he met on the Internet. She convinced him to return to be with her. So he came originally to teach English in July of 2000. They were married July of 2001. Now turned poet which is subject that is near and dear to his heart. His love for Christ and God is an inspiration to all who read his poetry.
