If Minimized: Gained, His Despise
His Word sent forth in prophesy
Will not come back without succeed.
But woe to those who do not heed:
"He did just so' in words and deeds.
We must walk with God 'in modesty'
Like Enoch, Noah, Abel with speed.
Not to deviate from humility.
Or we'll experience Jah's displease.
Who of us has not heard
of Abraham's adherence to God's Word
to sacrifice his one dear son
in obedience? Jehovah's favor won.
What he attempted displayed great love
though his loving Creator watching from above
stopped Abraham's action in hesitate
to offer a lamb in replace to take.
Demonstrating for humanity's sake
Jah's self-sacrifice in future to make
When offered His firstborn upon a stake.
Did He us to eternal death forsake?
So when God mandates certain laws
we must not feel that they are flawed.
For God is 'Love'. Provides justly for all.
We must obey. Or everlastingly to death
unnecessarily fall.
Will not come back without succeed.

Walk in modesty with your God!—Mic. 6:8.
Sometime during King Jeroboam’s reign, Jehovah sent a certain prophet from Judah to deliver a scathing judgment message to that apostate king of Israel. The humble prophet faithfully delivered God’s message, and Jehovah protected his servant from Jeroboam’s violent wrath. (1 Ki. 13:1-10) On his way home, the prophet unexpectedly met up with an old man from nearby Bethel. The man claimed to be a prophet of Jehovah. He deceived the younger man into disobeying Jehovah’s strict instructions ‘not to eat bread or drink water in Israel’ and ‘not to return by the way that he came.’ Jehovah was not pleased. Later, on his way home, a lion came across Jehovah’s prophet on the road and killed him. (1 Ki. 13:11-24) Why did the once modest prophet presumptuously go along with that deceitful older man? The Bible does not say. But it could be that he completely forgot that he was supposed to be ‘walking modestly with God.’ w17.01 4:1-3
