In the beginning, we were
afraid
we knew our nakedness
biting into the flesh of the
fruit
of the forbidden tree;
Hiding from God, afraid.
The fear of the Lord is the
beginning of wisdom
the psalmist wrote, oh so
long ago;
We forget so often
we forget He is a jealous
God
we forget our weakness
without Him.
We walk in our own paths
for a separate false idol
graven images and temporal
pleasures;
Opportunities of epiphany
lost
in our false self-reliance.
Cleave to the Lord
follow His commands
to love one another
to share in the Good News;
Hear His still voice
burning within you ever.
