Freedom of fear


Job 24:23 

23 God may let them rest in a feeling of security,
but He is constantly watching all their ways.

 

 

Freedom two

 

Freedom and the lack of fear ... embrace in a sweet union

A halo of trust engulfs ... and gives them rest

The legal and the binding ... are waiting in the distance

to provoke and undermine ... the union with a test

 

Constant uncertainty ... with a crooked smile

is gazing at happiness ... that is blessed by God

It won’t be long he figures ... until he joins the union

with questions and doubts ... about guilt and the lot

 

He touches the emotions ... where most of self resides

He twists and turns a little ... for that is all it takes

All he wants to do ... is to get emotions moving

for once they take off ... they’ll race to the bait
