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 in his walk
in his own righteousness before God
his holiness itself, the wall
leading him to question the Creator
the perfect justice of God
God’s response, the human before him
daring to question the all-powerful
as if he was a creator, a maker like God
a perspective made clear
that which was far beyond him
Our place in the order
God’s plan for the universe
by reverence, repentance alone
by grace made right with God
