It is our ole, sinful human nature to doubt and deny,
The very essence and existence of our Creator.
But all of creation cries out and refuses to belie,
That there can be no clear design without a designer!
It is fools who says in their hearts, ‘There is no God!’
Until, that is… ‘they are in GREAT fear!’
Suddenly, these same fools, whose inner thoughts are flawed,
Begin to call for The Lord to come near. 1
Imagine how often, across the ages of humankind,
This same, exact scenario has occurred,
With successive generations falling into the same bind.
Somehow, our inner vision keeps getting …blurred.
Thirteen decades after The Lord created Adam,
A third son, named Seth, was born to him and Eve.
As the human population began to blossom,
Something happened, and people began to grieve.
Just as happened countless times in human history,
Hearts and minds across the land turned to things spiritual,
And people called on The Name of The Lord Almighty,
What happened attracted The Lord’s fury, unquenchable! 2
Tell me…
What good is calling, if with Him we don’t daily walk,
But other, ‘counterfeit gods’, we embrace??
Do we really believe at this, The Lord will not balk??
Is this not a clear insult …to His face??
To the big crisis back in those pre-flood days,
By their calls, The Lord was clearly not propitiated,
Since most folks back then had corrupted their ways,
Nor did He respond as they might have anticipated. 3
By now you know, or should know the story very well,
How He organized a long-term plan for their destruction,
When the stench of their sins up in Heaven He could smell.
He cleansed Earth of all but eight, by a global inundation!

Fast-forward to our world today, and you will clearly see,
Similar scenarios unfolding under The Lord’s nose.
Counterfeit gods we now embrace cannot answer our pleas,
In crisis-after-crisis, with unimaginable blows!!!
All that is called, ‘God’, in our world really …ain’t.
These are not my words, but His words, paraphrased.
It’s a very clear story that His words paint.
So some notions of ‘God’ should be re-appraised!
‘No other God I know’, that’s what He affirms. 4
Believing otherwise is an old devilish trick.
Yet it is for non-gods many hearts still do churn.
So trusting in what’s not God is a really big risk.
‘I am the First and the Last; besides Me there is no god.’
More such assertions in His Word He emphatically makes,
Yet across our world, fake gods we embrace; some are quite odd!
He loves us, and made us to love Him, so imagine His heart aches.
Though He does love us, with us He is not pleased,
If we lack a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ.
When by problems and disasters, our lives are seized,
‘I am not your God’, He sighs, so we’re on our own in life.
To angels, how deep and dark those deceptions must be,
For folks to spend a lifetime not hearing their Creator’s voice.
To devils, how cheap, yet stark folks’ decisions must be,
Who only want us who hear and respect them as our god choice!
By faith, God desires us to perceive Him, and non-gods exclude.
But, lacking faith, some concepts of God remain quite amorphous.
Considering the non-gods in our world, this I must conclude:
To believe whatever we choose, He gives Grace. That’s generous!
'I'm not their God,
but I AM their Judge!'

1 This is the scenario portrayed in Psalm 14:1-5 and Genesis 4:26. Sadly, it is also iterated and predicted across the pages of the entire Bible, and throughout human history. Are you caught up in it?
2 See: Humans’ DNA Hacked (Poem). This story becomes clear when you connect the dots between the end of Genesis 4 and the beginning of Genesis 6. Otherwise, Genesis 5 gets in the way of the flow.
3 Propitiate – to win or regain favor of a spirit or person by doing something that pleases.
4 See: There is NO Other God, many Bible verses in which The Lord adamantly makes this assertion. Do you believe Him? See/listen to: Album 9: God Counterfeits (Lyrics & Video).
