CONSUMED IN DELILAH’S BREASTS

It’s not just enough to cry out for mercy, it’s probably not too much of worth it to cry over spilt milk, when the head is hewn off, the heart is punctured, the mind is disabused, and sight is blindfolded, no need disturbing the Redeemer, maybe.
Lord teach us to put our skin under control, it flexes what we make a hell of a noise about; the flesh. We are born of the skin, raised of the skin but sin of the flesh, ain’t that funny?
The more we long to please the Lord, the more sin gets a huge laugh at us. We try in our might to come out of the mess, but we are too messed up, our cloaks give us all up – filthy. Then we look for another way of escape, self righteousness, in the eyes of the undiscerning, we are the holiest of holies, the priests of this age, the keeper of the Ark... the Ark itself.
We are wrapped in evasive sanctimony, pervasive censoriousness, we fill the pews with our being, warm the chairs with our heat, clean the cathedral with our hands, shout the loudest hallelujah with our mouths, but even the huts of our hearts are filled with stench, we are dead!
But really we do not mean it; to disobey the mighty king, really we do not mean it; to eat the forbidden fruit, truly we did not plan it; to lick of the full lips, we really never prepared it; to be consumed in the full sumptuous breasts, but our eyes will never give way, our hearts will never forget those scenes, our skin will always rise when not even called, and we are broken again, we are crushed and condemned, the very things in which we find our pride, encased our flaws.
Then we learn to know that it is only by grace that we are saved, then we remember, salvation comes in no one else, but the only true God, we would not forget that our righteousness are mere filthy rags, and he who is without sin cannot even cast the stone. Yet, we must always learn to trust and obey...for to obey is better than sacrifice, but in obedience, we never get our fill, in obedience, we are always reminded that we are mere mortals dying to live a life of no more dying; still we must learn to trust and obey...
