“You hate those who pay regard to worthless idols,
but I trust in the LORD.” Psalm 31:6
i could gather up
all those trumped up
promises and re-sell them
online, knowing the fortune
i would make.
i could keep reading
the latest books or
attend the newest seminar
or follow the influencer
everyone else does, convinced
my church will triple in numbers.
i could market bumper
stickers from all those
platitudes preachers let fall
on peoples’ ears each week.
or
i could simply keep trudging
that long obedience
in the same direction
even if everyone else
thinks i am the only fool
to give it a try.
