Relying on God

I Corinthians 2:2-5

He is with us in weakness and also in fear,
In much of our trembling He is always near;
As we speak, our preaching does not entice,
For words of the wisdom of man has spice;
Never forget a display of Spirit and power,
For soon it shall become time for zero hour;
Do not put faith in the wisdom of other men,
Rather into God before Christ comes again.
We put our faith and trust into many things,
Relying to feel stuck just as static clings;
You take for granted for the car to start,
Ask another advice since they are so smart;
Times of trouble you go to them to confide,
Trust that they'll keep it a secret inside;
You never even have any second thoughts,
Your friends could be a bunch of crackpots;
The one that should be your true confidant,
Your Heavenly Father and your commandant;
Start praying to Him before it is too late,
Friends can't help in meeting your own fate.
