Wanting to understand God,
to shrink Him down to our size;
removing wonder, awe
a righteous fear of God.
Applying a human scale to the infinite,
making us the image of God;
as if we are God’s equals
not creations of His hands.

This is the first version,
to put them side by side. In the second I added a break between two stanzas and
more punctuation. I also changed capitalization of His and Him. I was
editing/posting the newer version largely because of a Twitter discussion about
the nature of “the Fear of the Lord”. I
am editing it to add the “ing” to match the title, which I had planned to do…
