With Great Power

What can God do with Hawking and Bill Gates?
God signals Steve that He is in control,
the world was not made by some fantasy fates,
they too must fight with Satan for their soul.

Though each may have a very famous name,
they too must struggle with their fragile health,
they too must forge their faith despite their fame,
like us, God calls them to use well their wealth.

With power comes great responsibility,
like Socrates, so much they do not know,*
both see God’s beauty here and mystery,
to Him and us there is so much they owe.

With math and cash, they glory in their smarts,
but God just wants humility in their hearts.

* The reason the Oracle of Delphi told Socrates
he was the smartest man in Greece.
