"Insidious" [Module#160) (Luke 12:1)
“Insidious it is”, Christ said that day,
“Hypocrisy, when done the nice-guy’s way;
So be en-guard you will not see it come;
It slides right in as numbers rise from “some” –“To crowds like this – they trample to the front;
And that’s the key – and where one must confront
Hypocrisy – for flattering it is
To have them come – you’re center of their biz.“But they don’t see you as you really are;
They love the myth, but ‘you’ it’s not by far;
Then when they see, if seeing’s what they do,
They will attack, and claim they had been fooled.“But here’s the thing – you’re here by grace of God;
It long-term is, for we are from the sod;
God grows us up here to eternity;
They want results, with center still as “me”.“But when we rise to status we are not,
Hypocrisy is how we hide in our rot,
Pretending status they confer on us
Is really there, not inner slime of pus.“How to avoid divergence like this way?
Four-twelve – build slow, then seven-two – I say
That people want their power now, so step
On other folks – quick-fix, move on, and yet –“The ones who walk the walk; do program slow;
Grow up in faith, then to their futures go
With steady pace, like leaven in the bread –
It multiplies – word lived is how we’re fed.“Folks sense the power, as we walk on in life
Unfazed by trouble, rising o’er the strife;
They want it too, until they see it’s God
Who thus empowers our lives as walking sod.”Thanks Lord for this.
