God Is Not Elusive

 
 
 
 God Is Not Elusive
By George Thurlow
 
My God is not elusive,
Conjured by mystical chants,
Encountered through altered consciousness
Or repetitious rants.

Special mantras aren't required.
Just His name will do.
In fact, while you are searching
He is reaching out to you.

Ornate candles don't impress Him,
Nor incense of rarity,
For He desires a humble heart
And repentant sincerity.

He avails Himself to every man,
Not playing hard to get.
Whosoever calls upon the Name...
Contemplate on that!

His purpose is not emerging.
From the foundation it was laid.
Restoration and redemption,
Through Jesus Christ was made.

God's not found in man-made plans,
Power Point upon a wall...
Psychology, business management,
God guffaws it all.

It is through the Holy Spirit
Convicting man of sin,
And through His gentle wooing
Drawing men to Him.

It is through the Blood of Calvary,
And the rugged cross,
At the altar of repentance
For the removal of the dross.

My God is not elusive...
He condescended for fallen man.
He's not hidden in the shadows,
But extends His loving hand.



"For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts
shall heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables. "
2 Timothy 4:3-4

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved"
Romans 10:13
