396. Orders

```

Orders are lovely and gracious things

When they come from God.

Why?

God orders me

Because He loves me,

Because He wants to perfect me.

Orders are clever and dangerous things

When they come from man.

Why?

Man orders me

To quench his own quenchless thirst,

To feed his own sleepless hunger. ```
