Untilled Ground
UNTILLED GROUND
untilled ground however rich
produces only prickly thorns
like the minds of simple men
never giving thought to their
steps
rash behaviour hasty choices
acting whims without restraint
going with the currents flow
that seems appealing at first
glance
tossed around on waves of
passing tides and ideologies
easily deceived they believe
in questionable doctrines
lies
we need to change thought patterns
God’s promises directing our steps
a fundamental change within
not just act the part we should
believe
discipleship begins within
not by a quick magic trick
requiring training to correct
our faulty thinking and be
aware
