Encouagement in Waves of Change a poem by Adam Nitz

Jan Breugher Elder_Christ in Storm on Galilee_Madrid, Thyssen-Bornemisza_c_1596

As we look out and see a stormy sea of humanity
Let’s remember the One who calmed the sea of Galilee
And not give in to sins of self-righteousness, hate or fear
When high waves of change are crashing so near
Instead, when sin seems in charge and a wild storm rages
In the world all around or in our own life’s stages
Let’s remember the One who calmed all with a word
And who stretched out his life on a cross for this world.
Yes each human movement rises like a rolling wave
Hell-bent to change the way things are— a world to “save”
Pulsing with passion, eyes all on fire
To right every “wrong”, the undaunted desire
It thrusts high into the culture, a wave untamed
Old sins remade, refashioned, renamed
And its energy fuels some “reform”
And many ride on the crest of this wave, a new norm!
Sure that they’ve changed the world, that “love” will reign
Positive that every change is a positive gain

For God is in charge and his word is our trust
As we live in this world, with our true life above
Our mission is speaking God’s truth in true love.
And this crestfallen crest will be leveled at last
When Truth comes again with a trumpet blast
Or quietly, slowly, the storm will all slip and go
As the once mighty wave becomes a sad under-toe
And the earth keeps on turning and tides come and go
New waves rise and fall, some fast and some slow
But things don’t change much in the ocean below
For the evil that’s ruined our whole human race
Runs deeper and darker than any human can face
And the only hope for a world so deluded
Is the truth from our God which cannot be refuted:
One Lord and Savior whose death paid for each drop
And his message of love which no ocean can stop.

My name is Adam Nitz. I was trained as a Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) Pastor and was privileged to serve a congregation in Michigan for three years. After much wrestling in prayer and evaluating personal and family considerations I resigned my call. Part of the new direction my life has taken includes creative writing. I’ve always loved to write. Growing up I filled notebooks with poetry and reflections on life, faith, people and God. I just recently published a novel. I took a real person mentioned briefly in the Bible and imagined what his life's journey may have been like. If you’d like to follow my journey as an author feel free to check out my other blog at www.adamnitz.com. Please check out my book: I Was There When the Giant Fell at www.createspace.com/4761654 or search the title on Amazon.com. I pray that God will use all these writings to bring more people into closer contact with his saving truth--his mighty Word and that hearts and lives are changed by God’s boundless message of grace.
