Poem#73 Laid To Rest
Genesis 50
Whatever comes to be made by the paths we’ve chosen to make
How we got their doesn’t matter as circumstances come as storms
How we handle them shapes us as we pave our own roads
God uses what we don’t know to shape our Character for His Glory
While we’re making choices that shape the way we’re going to live
God uses correction to humble us His way is the straight & narrow
Joseph who was given a dream like His Father & Fathers before Him
Could have chosen a less prideful path to avoid already hateful Brothers
But as history went so God used correction to help Joseph save them
Like Abraham, like Isaac, like Jacob chose their human made paths
Instead of trusting God at His Word, they used Words of their own
Twisting them out of fear, of pride to get what God already promised
Even when we walk the briar patch of lies path instead of His way
God’s ready to help clean our wounds & protects us from predators
Getting us to where He’s needing us to be to help Save His People
The paths taken by Abraham, by Isaac, by Jacob connect us All
Through the story of Joseph who’s path lead Pharaoh’s Daughter
Finding the basket in the river’s reeds that led Moses to a Bush
Even before the beginning of Genesis God knew the paths taken
The step choices of those gone before up to their being laid to rest
The corrections needed that would bring us to the rest in Jesus
