Decide

Haiku for living well


God says: Decide now.

Prosperity or hardship,

life or death. Your choice!


Obey God’s commands.

This is the way to true life,

thus will you prosper.


Rules for living well,

Commandments to enable

harmonious life.


Laws that serve people,

that create community;

building justice, love.


False Gods surround you;

don’t go astray or serve them.

That path leads to death.


Obey and hold fast

to God. This way leads to life;

live long in the land.


I give you this land.

Obey my laws, you’ll be blessed;

choose the way of life.
