Powerful Forces!

Death for dozens!....sisters, brothers and cousins!
Hundreds are wounded, too!!
Powerful forces! Everything gone!
More than any human could do!
Possessions are gone! Treasures not found!
All homes destroyed! People unemployed!
Reality can be shocking, but true!
Just a huge heap, of rubble! High costs to repair!
News travels quickly! People rush to their aid!
Which proves, that most humans do care!
When nature threatens, we feel alarm!
For it can cause so much physical harm!
We all desire some of God's security!
Yes, Lord, many promises from Thee!
I know, that You will gently take,
My life and never will forsake!
For the Truth is always what you state!
I do not walk alone!
A tabernacle destroyed! It was so new!
Altar, cherubims...were demolished, too!
Satan now rejoices, for his evil plans,
Are so often, in man's eager hands!
Those who walk with God, will see,
That the Tabernacle will again be!
Rebuilt full size, in all its original glory!
Don't dwell, on the destruction, or feel sorry!
Another test....to prove our worth!
While we're here, on this temporary Earth!
Christ lives on and always will!
Our Christian lives, He will seek and fill!
And those, who died, are now with Him!
Free from painful lessons, due to worldly sin!
In life....or in death....we'll be just fine!
The cross and rainbow, still give the sign!
We'll have earthly pleasures, due to His grace!
Permanent smiles, on each peaceful face!
Blessings on Earth, up...down...and around!
Someday Heaven and more fertile ground!
Where our eyes will see, sights so divine!
God's precious angels, looking so fine!
Tornadoes? Death? Destruction? Hate? NO!
All harmful things, that we now know....
Will disappear, along with fear,
And God.....please be FOREVER near!
Yes, give me life and give me death, too,
For death brings "new life"...even closer to

YOU!
