Which Way?

"God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy, there is none that doeth good, no, not one" (Psalm 53:2,3). "Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness.... Man's goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?" (Proverbs 20:6,24).

God has looked down on the children of men
To see if there happened to be any good.
His findings were clear, for none sought Him then,
Each one has gone back; not one understood.

Yet most men proclaim their goodness today,
In spite of the statement God made from His throne.
How then can man understand his own way,
With God's view so different than that of his own?

The problem is easy; the question absurd:
Man should submit to the viewpoint of God!
We understand when we trust in His Word.
With so clear an answer, confusion seems odd!
