At the centre of life stood a tree
at the core of existence it bloomed
knowledge,
the fruit of Limitless Being
poison to limited beings
Eve
Babylon
Me
Now there's a New Tree
medial to eternity it bled fruit that tastes of
"we're free"
choosing to live by the limits that give life to
eve
babylon
and me.
-----------------
The Bible says God's people perishes from a lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6), but they are destroyed when they idolise it; craving it above everything else (Genesis 3).
May I honour my responsibility and defer my limited knowledge to a Sovereign God.
