there is a path i want no part of: psalm 17

There is a path I want no part of.
The path that uses faith to trample.
The path of people who fancy themselves God's emissaries on earth.

Loving your neighbor like yourself is simple.

I want to hold hands with Isaiah and mourn for Moab (Isaiah 16:11).
To see the three-part blessing on earth,
When God finally says,
"Blessed is my nation, Egypt,
The work of my hands, Assyria,
And my inheritance, Israel (Isaiah 19:25).
