Walking the Wise Path

An accomplished desire,
Will be sweet unto the soul;
That wisdom will require,
In trying to reach its goal.

The goal is for faith and trust,
But not tempted by a lure;
Which just might trigger a lust,
And make you to sin once more.

If you walk with wise people,
Then you shall be also wise;
Because Christ and the Gospel,
Will be insight for your eyes.

By turning away darkness,
And keeping within the light;
God will shine His blessedness,
Finding favor in His sight.

Then you will too be righteous,
Doing all that as you should;
And being conscientious,
In knowing how to do good.

Disaster hunts down sinners,
Like a vulture on his perch;
Eating losers not winners,
That turn away from the church.

Sinners will have a poor health,
And have no inheritance;
Then will be losing their wealth,
To the just in compliance.
