Apostle Paul & Now! ! Poem by Tom Zart

What would we be without God's wisdom
Lost, lonely, distressed and sad.
His love provides hope for both body and soul
And gives reason to be thankful and glad.

Apostle Paul named himself "chief of all sinners"
Guilty of overreaching, misjudgment and more.
Without true consideration of what we follow
Our wrongs brings us dishonor as before.

To relate to struggle just think of Paul
With every reason to be doubtful to extreme.
Repeated beatings, ridicule and imprisonment
While trusting God to fulfill his dream.

Thanks to captivity Paul gained exposure
To an audience he still has today.
As we focus on hope during times of test
We rise from self-pity to share and pray?

What does it mean to be rich toward God
Paul said "those who are rich should not be conceited."
God measures wealth by the quality of our deeds
And the sins we've willingly repeated.

When blessed by the powers of money and fame
We must stay rich in our giving, trust and love.
Meeting the needs of the less fortunate
And serving our Lord's will from above.
