Too Confident by Raymond A. Foss

Calling himself righteous
a little too confident
that he was blessed
by his walk
not by the grace of God

The words of his arguments
setting himself a little higher
as if his feet weren’t of clay
measuring himself worthy
righteous before God

struggling with questions of life and death
the book of Job, prayer, the nature of
righteousness and God’s timing

the book of Job, including
