It could lead

To their demise,

And their defeat,

At the hands of all

Their enemies.

Naaman knew too,

Just exactly what

He stood to loose,

If he lost,

His fight with leprosy.

And yet if he really knew,

Then why did he

Initially refuse,

To immerse himself,

In a muddy river?

It was because

He thought,

That the man of God

Should be in awe,

Of his status and his wealth,

And covet all the riches

That he brought,

And greedily accept them,

In exchange for his healing

And his health.

But God's ways,

Are not our ways,Isaiah 55:8-9

Nor does He ever

Honor those,

Who are focused

On themselves.Luke 18:9-14

Even if they think

The reason seems so pure,

That they're sure

They won't be holy

If they don't,

Seek to strengthen

Everything they think

They need to strengthen,

In their own soul first.Luke 17:5-6

But aren't we,

Supposed to be,

Totally focused on

Our spiritual healing,

And on everything

We think we need to do,

To be in better

Spiritual health?

Isn't this

The underlying reason

Why we read our Bible?

And why we meditate?
