Cross-eyed
He held a plumb line and a level.
His hand was sure.
Truth was without question.
I am at least a half-a-bubble off plumb.
At least that and likely much more.
My plumb is cockeyed, too.
Thankfully, He holds the plumb and level.
There is not a bit of cockeyed or off plumb in Him.
He builds the house.
And, He provided the truth in Christ.
With His plumb and His level I can build in assurance.
Whether a castle or a tent.
The huff and puff of the wolf will not shake me.
His plumb and His level guide me.
Interesting how a Shepherd masters His tools.
His sheep pen is wolf proof.
Those who abide there come in and go out.
God levels with me. He is plumb good.
He speaks to me. I know His voice.
Help me avoid the thief who would fool me into thinking that cockeyed is plumb and a half-bubble-off- plumb is level.
Make my abode huff and puff proof. House or tent.
He tabernacles with me. Incredulous.
My abode cannot be blown down.
Stay near the door and its safety.
It is thief proof.
The wolf cannot huff and puff enough.
The builder is God. He set the vertical and horizontal.
Thinking of vertical and horizontal.
That makes the sign of the cross.
May I be cross-eyed and not cockeyed.

“Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” John 10:7-10.
