What human being can discern the counsel of God.
Or can discern what the Lord wills.
Indeed who or why or where is God.
Who knows apart from love what he wills.

For the reasoning of mortals is worthless.
And our designs are likely to fail.
But why ask, why be anxious.
The body yes, but the soul cannot fail.

For a perishable body weighs down the soul.
And this earthly tent burdens a mind full of thoughts.
There later is joy, here is merely full of toil.
There later , the reward of the cross, here just naughts.

Here there is endless thinking.
There finally understanding.

……

What is God’s counsel
Who can discern what he wills
Yet we will find out
