“The Crash” [Reflections On Book The Book Of Philippians (Phil. 4:10-13)]
The purpose of the law, Paul says,
Is showing weakness in our ways
Of doing life – it can’t be done
By us alone – that’s not much fun.So Christ suggests “impossible”
As way to live – folks try until
The deep desire within each heart
Gets smashed on walls soon after start.“Us folks do not like ‘Christ within’
No ‘Spirit’ here, for I can win
My way, my strength (capitulate
On all the rest, for Jesus’ sake).“We much prefer, ‘What Christ would do’
As written in the Bible – true,
Christ had the Spirit in His life –
Not us – for our way has it right.”Thanks Lord for this.
