Aging vs getting old ...

Aging vs getting old …

 

Job 32:9 “Great men are not always wise nor

do the aged always understand justice”

 

What is great and … in whose eyes is that perception?

Is it in the eyes of man … a matter of possessions?

Who hands out these treasures … in this fallen world?

Is it not the ruler thereof … who gives with digression?

 

It is well known he likes his own … for he cannot love.

Nothing goes beyond … his own corrupt desires.

Any time he gives … many strings are attached

not always seen as unbreakable … up to the final fire.

 

Out of his grasp you can’t escape … his claws go to the core.

Deliverance can only come … from The One beyond this sphere.

Whose Power is forever more … to overcome the obstacles

So that enslavement won’t conquer … not any longer here.

 

Justice has a partner … and it is spelled “legal”.

Interpretation of the letter … has no mercy in thought

The commodity “Living Justice” is a gift of the Eternal

And that we’ll all encounter … that thro The Blood is bought
