Pointed True North

Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
     but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
                        Proverbs 19:21 ESV

POINTED TRUE NORTH

    Illusory control,
            God’s instruction clears streets.
We’re addicted to filth; bright angels bathe sore feet.

Our blaze of conviction, dim eyes set on what’s wrong.
            The King of righteousness —
     it’s to Him we belong.

This write of yours hit me like it was a write, centuries old, that survived all that time due to it's crisp, decisive and creatively intellectual, authoritative lines. An otherness quality - Hope I make sense in my attempt at an high compliment! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

The great delusion of man, that we are in control. Life is so much more joyous when we surrender all to the King.
