Realizing His kingdom

Foolishly bold
Abnegating God
To get attention
Famous by
A negative association
Is moral degradation.

The beginning of wisdom
Is realizing His kingdom.

Thank you for the editing work.English is my second language.And as such sometimes I may make mistakes on homonyms specially when I write on webs hastily to save money .Unlike you I face constraints living in a developing country.
But here the point is what is your take on the renowned classic poet James Stephens' poem The Voice of God,which vividly tells the existence of God?
It was that way Abraham understood the existence of God.

The Voice of God/by James Stephens/Translation in Amharic/የእግዚአብሔር ድምፅ/By Alem Hailu

I bent again unto the ground
And I heard the quiet sound
Which the grasses make when they
Come up laughing from the clay
--We are the voice of God!—they said
Thereupon I bent my head
Down again I might see
If they truly spoke to me.
But, around me, everywhere,
Grass and tree and mountain were
Thundering in mighty glee,
--We are the voice of deity!—
And I leapt from where I lay:
I danced upon the laughing clay፡
And, to the rock that sang beside,
--We are the voice of God!—I cried.


የእግዚአብሔር ድምፅ

ዳግም ወደ ምድር እንዳጎነበስኩ
ጥርት ያለ ድምፅ አደመጥኩ
ቄጤማዎች የሚስደምጡት ፈንድቀው
ብቅ እዳሉ ሸክላ አፈሩን ሰንጥቀው
“የእግዚአብሔር ድምፅ ነን አድምጡን!”
እዛው ጭንቅላቴን ዝቅ አድርጌ
ዓይኔን ሰደድኩ ወደ ግርጌ
በርግጥ እኔን አያናገሩ እንደው
ማወቅ ፈልጌ፣
ግን በዙሪያዬ በየስፍራወ
ሳሩ ዛፉና ተራራው
በደስታ እንደ መብረቅ
ነበር የሚያስተጋባው
‹‹የአምላክ ድምፅ ነን
አድምጡን!››
ጋድም ካልኩበት
በሐሴት የሚፍለቀለቅ መሬት
ዘልዬ በፍጥነት
ቀጥ ብዬ ቆምኩ
እንደዛ እዳደረግኩ
በተመስጦ እያሸበሸብኩ
ከጎኔ ለሚዘምረው ኮረብታ
እኔም በደስታ
‹‹የእግዚብሔር ድምፅ ነን!›› አልኩታ፡፡
(ጄምስ ስቲፈንስ)
Both living and none living things pay respect to God.Birds cheer up mountains orchestrate symphony to God.

The word idolize has many connotations in this modern world. Men can make gods easily.

Whether an omnipotent God exists or not, gladly none of us will ever know in this lifetime.

The finest achievement that we can all aspire to is to respect each other's Gods and not to defile others.

Some men create gods that don't fend for themselves.God has created men.He is God of all gods.

There is nothing as such 'Your God' say Our God.It is Our God that brought everything in to being including you and me. If you are "Foolishly Bold' to stop clicking with your instinct and sense there is an Omnipresent,Omnipotent and Omniscient God it is up to you.Even birds praise the Almighty God at the break of dawn.
Unless you mend your ways in time this truth will dawn on you just before the angel of death shake hands with you!

I am not talking about religion But the Almighty, God of all gods.
