Through People

Does God only work through people
Does He only move people to move
And not Himself move to intervene
Is that how this works

God as “hands off” this world

Standing back from disasters
Both personal and global
But always there waiting to give instruction
To people open to receiving
And acting on it

Should there just be prayers

That God moves people
Because when they don’t move
Life is more lonely
Burdens more heavy
Everyone suffers more

Is all we really have

Each other
And the best we can do is
Hope those in our lives
Are those who listen and act

Is it that

There are just not enough
Listeners and actors

Too many people learning about God

Not enough people listening to God
Too many studying the manual
Not enough doing the work

Am I

One of
Those people
