Jeremiah 9:24 says, “…let him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising
lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I
delight," says the LORD.” (Jeremiah 9:23-24 NKJV)
Trying to get
online
The internet
keeps crashing
It’s holding
up my life
In
characteristic fashion
The things I
want to say
Are fading
from my brain
As the
server blips and flips,
Unaware of
my disdain
And so it is
with life—
There’s just
no reliable switch
To make things
go one’s way
And create a
euphoric niche
There are
trials we must face
And life’s
unplanned “side dishes”—
Things that
just won’t “go away,”
In spite of our
whims and wishes
And so we
have a choice—
Though the
internet often fails,
Our
connection to God’s always open,
And no bills
will come in the mail
Though our
lives may not be perfect—
All things
fitting in boxes with checks,
Our
technician is perfect, all-knowing,
And we don’t
have to wait to connect.
