Fools will go wherever their desires lead them. The wise will win by trusting in the Lord and in the message of His prophets (Heb 1:1-2).
When He exceeds the sum of all,
Still they covet their windfall.
When success needs His blessing,
Still they covet transgressing.
When consequences hold sway,
Still they covet their own way.
When He sets prisoners free,
Still they covet the carefree.
When praise should carry His sword,
Still they covet being lord.
When trust is His way of life,
Still they covet real-world strife.
When His curse begins to burn,
Still He covets their return.
"Your corpse will come back to life,
Everlasting joy is rife!"
When His trust lesson they learn,
Then they covet His return.
When He exceeds the sum of all,
Then they covet His windfall.
Man is not the cure, or fix,
Says Isaiah twenty-six.
