At the Crossroads
"You are standing at the crossroads,
So consider your path, your inroads."
"Your ancient ways are obsolete.
These old paths no longer compete."
"Then which path leads to blessing?
You could ask Me, or keep on guessing.
But you'd rather scheme than follow,
And moral blindness leaves you fallow,
Saying, "Everything will be all right!"
When everything is not all right!
"Our evolving wisdom achieves.
"Our evolving morality relieves."
"Your evolving wisdom deceives.
"Your evolving morality grieves."
"Why if I do not follow Your path,
Am I threatened with Your wrath?"
"You cultivate lies in your heart,
And believe it makes you stalwart.
But hardened beyond refining,
Your rebellion becomes maligning.
You continue down this path
Until all that's left is wrath."
"So do not all paths lead to You?
And if not, what is the real issue?"
"Know Me and know this to be true:
I alone control all the paths-
But only My path cures you."
