Make straight a way for him!
Let's straightaway do what we're here to do.
It's true at times we're unsure what that is.
But that's the joyous, best time. For then too,
we straightaway can ask God for what's his..
..his own, to give away. It is his joy
to do so, as the only wise God 'there',
or 'he-re', in existance! This, his boy
did any time, and also anywhere
he found himself in that predicament -
within God's world as leader (under God),
with job to rule it all, to represent
invisible, creative, love that trod
each path a human being's taken there.
His little brother watched, as big bro grew,
in wisdom, learning What?, & When?, & Where?
The Why? was settled, and also the Who?
he'd run to, or look up to, once again.
The wisdom from above, comes right from there,
from throne of love, from one who's suffered pain,
whose heart was torn, but wisdom's up there where
his heart was, just a loving, beating thing,
that always helps, and suffers himself to
be seen as beaten, small, and a weakling,
for often there's a rift between the two
things of this world, reality 'n'what seems.
Appearances are pathways to some new..
new understanding comes. A jewel gleams.
As wisdom's child comes out, and into view.

"Straightaway, the spirit threw him into the desert to be tested…"(Mark 1:12)
"Straightaway, they left their nets & followed him.."(Mark 1:18)

The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. Gen 6:5-6 NRSV-CI
The child (Yeshua) grew and became strong, filled with wisdom; and the favor of God was upon him. Luke 2:40
(as a 12yr old, his parents left him behind, &)..After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. Lk 2:46-47
Yeshua grew both in body and in stature, & in favor with God and people. Luke 2:52
My brothers and sisters, consider yourselves fortunate when all kinds of trials come your way, for you know that when your faith succeeds in facing such trials, the result is the ability to endure. Make sure that your endurance carries you all the way without failing, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. But if any of you lack wisdom, you should pray to God, who will give it to you; because God gives generously and graciously to all. But when you pray, you must believe and not doubt at all. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven and blown about by the wind. People like that, unable to make up their minds and undecided in all they do, must not think that they will receive anything from the Lord. James 1:2-8
