How often
are we pulled
into fights,
especially
over scarce resources,
only because another
starts to claw
and grab
for whatever
that thing is?
We can forget,
in those moments,
that often
it is not the greedy
or the glutenous
who get
what they want.
Even if they appear
to get something,
they often forfeit
much more
in the process,
making the acquisition
a Pyrrhic victory
at best.
When we wait,
working hard,
but trusting
that God
will bring us
to the correct place
at the correct time,
that is when
we gain all,
yet forfeit nothing.
