Ramadan Night 25 - The Fifth Entry



Then did He make them
Like an empty field
Of stalks and straw,
(Of which the corn)
Has been eaten up.
S.105 A.5
 
I realize this relates to the consequences of hubris and defiance of God.  Whatever I think I am building or accumulating will be devastated, if it is not done in deference to His plans or it is against His guidance.  This is a simple and stark reminder of the unfailing justice we will face if we are not true to God.  I shudder to think that my soul might be laid so stark and so barren!
