Humiliation plus meltdown,
Sabrina's lit phone
put self-pity on grateful hold;
scrolled: 'He Can't Hear You!':
Deaf Man Killed by OKC Police as Neighbors Scream
Earthquake death toll climbs to 225 in Mexico
as frantic search continues for survivors buried under jobs or homes.
Maria knocks out power,
triggers flooding in Puerto Rico.
The whole world groaning
in this sad desperate hour.
Recalibrated Sabrina's senses
to the humanitarian importance
of this life-sustaining work
delegated to meek and honest-hearted
whole-souled to knuckle through.
So dismissed from harassment,
Sabrina speedily exits
through campus grounds
to her lonely meditation spot found
near a lovely lake
with lilies white
her tossing pebbles rippling waters
in circles around
after resuscitation
when almost emotionally drowned.
Exhausted
she settled down under the oak solid
to seek deeply profound wisdom
her professor would accredit
'trustworthy' yes 'sound'.
Contemplates Revelation 1:1-3:
"A revelation
by Jesus Christ,
which God gave
him,
to show his slaves
the things
that must shortly take place.
And he sent his angel
and presented it
in signs
through him to his slave John,
who bore witness
to the word
God gave
and to the witness
Jesus Christ gave,
yes,
to all
the things
he saw.
Happy is the one who reads aloud
and those who hear the words of this prophecy
and who observe
the things written in it,
for the appointed time is near."
Sabrina clicks on her special website
after tossing book bag, jacket,
campus life paraphernalia
into a mound
searching for a simple article
to offer solutions
to a growing
discontent
ocean of fish
belly-upping
or floundering
greyish matter to casket brown.
"Here's a spark to begin my finals flame:
The Four Horsemen—Who Are They?
will these tragic
news headlines
today explain.
Surely this will dull the lead
of rapidly scratching pencils
or dry out their ink
noting all valid references
will cause sleepy mind's eyes to blink
juice brain cells primed to scripturally think."
Sabrina's energy levels
swell when "Hey!" from a moving shadow
suddenly Wayne appears.
Irritates Sabrina into a:
"What are you
doing here?" with a dip to hot momentum
promising to dry up
a just stopped well.
"I've seen you here before.
Thought this is where she'll be.
And here you are
in, shall I say, a mighty rapid speed."
Wayne grins a bright white smile
hoping her heart like others would bleed.
But Sabrina,
walking from home to campus had seen
Wayne, as a pea-cock fluffing his feathers
to gloriously preen.
Green was not her color.
And on this stranger
no need to lean.
So she packed up all her goods
in a strategic hurry
to exit this scene.
"Hey! Wait up!...
I said I wanted to help."
"Just what do you think
you can do for me?" her question
as she hooked her hand
onto her book bag's shoulder belt.
"Well, I just thought you should know
that I am your spiritual brother.
I can give some impute too,
since we share the same spiritual mother."
Sabrina, at this time, squinted her eyes
to up at him look.
Shook her head slightly
recognizing a morality crook.
She spun on her heels
this time determined to leave
Wayne behind,
his ego shook. Wondering how she knew...
He long ago
the 'truth' forsook
for a worldly good time
involving vice and slime
though on the mend he wanted to be
and with Sabrina beside him
as a butterfly fleet
he'll from sin retreat
become refined
a humbled servant at her feet.
However, servitude from others
Sabrina did not seek.
To a higher authority
residing forever in celestial heavens
glorious
she redirected all worship
to this One worthy with his faithful Son
anointed on a Kingly seat. TO BE CONT'D

The hand of Jehovah will become known to his servants.—Isa. 66:14.
Many people think that there is little connection between what they are doing and what God is doing. In fact, some believe that God has little interest in what is happening to humans. After Super Typhoon Haiyan wreaked destruction on the central Philippines in November 2013, the mayor of one large city said: “God must have been somewhere else.” Other people act as if God cannot see what they are doing. (Isa. 26:10, 11; 3 John 11) They are like those whom the apostle Paul described when he said: “They did not see fit to acknowledge God.” Such people “were filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, and badness.” (Rom. 1:28, 29) What about us? Unlike those mentioned above, we realize that Jehovah observes everything we do. But do we also perceive his interest and supporting hand in our life? w15 10/15 1:1-3
