The Conundrum That Divides

 

I’m caught in a conundrum, Lord,
And need guidance, it’s true.
I’m being asked to walk a path
That’s not grounded in You.
 
It’s not far off, I do suspect,
From the way You would lead,
But it is shadowed by a sin
That undermines Your creed.
 
Yet, I wonder if there’s more harm
In speaking what I see,
Causing a breach even greater
Than what there needs to be.
 
Though I can see the stumbling stones,
There’s much good in it, too,
But, if they’re shouting that I’m wrong,
Their rage will drown out You.  
 
Oh Lord, I seek Your perfect peace
And Your great wisdom, too.
I love them and I want them safe.
I know You, also, do.
 
1 Corinthians 14:33
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace.
