The Poem Planet

Thursday, July 25, 2024

What's this world all about? The answer is hidden in the Greek language of Romans 1:20: "For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made". The word 'made' in Greek is 'poema', where we get the English word 'poem'. Everything you've known since the day of your birth is part of God's poem. All this time, you haven't simply been living in the world, you've actually been living in God's poem. If that's the case, why doesn't it feel like a poem? Because the poem cannot exist without the poet. The poet writes a poem as an expression of his heart and spirit. In the same way, when you try to live this life without God, it becomes meaningless. But when you seek instead to know God and live by His Spirit and heart, He'll take the mess and make it into a poem. Stop getting lost in the mess of life, come back to the joy of knowing the Poet, and your life will become the poem of God.
