Our Rights?  Or God’s Ways?

It seems like just about every day and night…

I hear about someone who wants their “civil rights.”

Many think everything we need is found in the constitution.

So they look to our courts and government institutions.

Rather than looking to the Bible for what “ails them.”

They look to a piece of paper,

that will one day fail them!

As many refuse God… Believing there

must be a “separation.”

The moral fabric is being torn

 all across this great nation!

The only “rights” we have are given by our supreme being.

He is God!  He’s in control! 

And rules over everything!

There’s nothing “civil” about sin, and it’s evil force.

We need to look at what is our “spiritual source!”

If it’s God and his word that you try to leave behind.

You’ll fall into the ditch.  With the “blind leading the blind.”

If you may seek “civil rights,” there’s still an empty void.

If God’s principles of living in your life

 are not employed!

You’re not your own.  You were bought 2000 years ago!

This same God who died on a cross

 has a claim on your soul!

If anyone has a “right,”  It’s God who has a claim on you!

It happened when he said, “forgive them.”

 “They know not what they do!”
