Pulverize Shoals Cauldron Sovereign Forfeit

My heart is a black cauldron of jealousy, envy, and covetousness.

Fighting the only one who is able to be sovereign over anything,

I lift myself up to His stature,

to His Majesty,

and put myself

in His place.

When I do this I forfeit peace,

rest,

and serenity.

In it's place the shallow shoals of my heart are pulverized by my own self-righteousness.

Being the older brother comes naturally to one propelled forward by envy.

The younger son knew where he stood

after

he came to his senses.

Older brothers have a hard time seeing themselves in desperate need.

That's what I am-

in desperate need-

need of the one who humbled Himself,

took the form of a man,

for me.

To save me

from the cauldron of sin brewing deep within my heart.
