Not His Treasure – v3

Not like the rich man

his wealth not the issue

not his treasure, his possessions

that created his distance from God

Pride in his piety, certain

his holiness itself, the wall

leading him to question the Creator

the justice of God

God’s response, righteous

the human before him

a perspective made clear

that was far beyond him

Our place in the order

God’s plan for the universe

by reverence, repentance alone

made right before God
