Life’s never static, each day births anew,
Whether challenge or trouble depends on my view.
Each day something different is blowing my way,
Am I growing too rigid that I cannot sway?
Am I learning and changing or locked in a booth?
Am I steeped in tradition or grounded in truth?
Whenever confronted by different or strange,
I tend to reject it, reluctant to change.
Is resistance well founded or based on my fear?
How can I judge what I won’t even hear?
I pray I stay grounded and study God’s Word,
Can clearly determine what’s true, what’s absurd.
Yet I pray I’m not rigid and quick to defend
Old habits, unable to sway in the wind.
I pray that I’m open to listen and learn,
While grounded in scripture to clearly discern.
