What Will Your Verse Be?

There are two different, often conflicting views of life. One believes that we can write our own story and decide what our “verse” will be that we contribute to the world (see Walt Whitman). The other says we have no control of “who lives, who dies, who tells our story.” (See Lin Manuel Miranda). Who is right? What would you want your contribution to be? What story do you want your life to tell? What happens if your story is forgotten or told differently than you’d want? All these questions are at the heart of a bible story about truth, injustice, oppression, and the sovereignty of God- and some of the stories might just surprise you.
