Confusion

Confusion is ugly..... a "robber" of sorts.
It's good to avoid all the problems it courts.
For once it comes in it can spoil the best plan.
And it's hard to make order... if even you can.
There sometimes is loss which cannot be restored,
And often relationships strike a wrong chord.
Misunderstanding is hard to erase,
And unhappy words are hard to displace.
Self-seeking and envy are somtimes involved.
These bring contention which should be resolved.
Planning ahead and then following through
Are two good ideas to really pursue.
Don't let confusion rob God's good intent.
This not-so-nice problem you can prevent.
But if it should happen in spite of it all,
Use wisdom and patience to keep mix-ups small.

"For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work."
James 3:16 KJV

"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace....."
I Corinthians 14:33 KJV
