This poem is inspired by 2 Corinthians 6 and 7. Some things just don’t mix together very well like water and oil or like pizza and weight loss. In the same way, worshiping idols does not mix with worshiping the ONE true God.
Like oil mixed with water,
Winter and silk,
Pizza and weight loss
Or vinegar with milk
The world has idols
Worshiped in wickedness
That do not mix well
With righteousness.
But a common link
Is the Holy Spirit
And paradise
Is ours to inherit.
So take on each challenge
By focusing on God
For difficulties
Can be sent abroad.
He’s near to us
Providing a plus
Thus working things out
For all of us.
