How do we know? by royowen

So, how do we know that we're really free,
and what's in this measure we use to see?
Man's ego can rule creating a maze,
mist in a bottle that's blending a haze.

Emotions can guide us twisting our minds,
in essence confusion bringing down blinds.
So how can we change our miscreant souls,
that blend with a sandstorm twisting our roles.

Just how can we trust these chaotic hearts
delinquent in nature, rebels in part?
Can I trust feelings; these wise thoughts collect,
what's this within me...God's wisdom select?

If I'm expecting, will truth break hope's banks.
streams of pure wisdom play non-gracious pranks?
So why do I doubt? God's grace I am sure,
filled with compassion His heartbeat is pure.

Author Notes
This Poem is the incumbent doubt that mars men's thoughts. God has planted enough rational certainly, that causes me to trust like a child, because I've chosen to, faithfulness is not being double minded, even when faith flies in the face of doubt. Don't worry God still reassures.

Habakkuk 3:17-18 "Thought the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be on the vines; the labour of the olive may fail, and the fields will yield no wheat; the flock shall cut off from the fold, and there shall no herd in the field.. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my saviour."
