walking the path God already knows – v6

we are given free will by God
a gift of the garden, choice
in our walk, in our living
we choose the steps of our lives
choices who to follow
which way to turn
toward the world
or toward God
walking the path God already knows
the pages already written
yet living life in each moment
choices as we make them
the journey in real time
in the way of mortal man,
choices for all time

this poem and all of the following poems are from The Shack
and are about trying to understand or comprehend
the ideas of free will, predestination,
and omniscience, an all-knowing God.
