That detestable thing – v2

To be forced to look up,
a punishment for sin,
for disobedience to God
to the leaders God gave us
to look up at that detestable thing
a snake made of bronze

Humbling the wayward people
complaining in the desert
challenging the will of God
doubting in God’s provision

A snake, the serpent,
which cast man out of the Garden
a reminder of the power of God
to these His wayward children
