Turning to God

Human pride begins with turning our backs on God.
Wisdom begins with facing God in humility.
Those who hate God cringe before God’s judgement.
Those who receive God’s love with openness
are fed with the finest wheat
and, from the rock, honey which satisfies.
God overthrows the powerful abusers
and sets the humble in their place.
For all who exalt themselves will be humbled
and everyone who humbles themselves will be exalted.
(Cf Psalm 81:10-16; Sirach 10:12-18)
