Beloved,
We Cannot Hope To Escape The Fiery Trials Of This Life
If
We Fix Our Gaze Upon Our Troubles
And
Refuse To Fix Our Mind ... And Our Hope
Upon The Unfailing Promises Of The True And Living God!
When We Focus On The Ground, We See Dirt!
However, If We Cast Even Our Crying Eyes Heavenward
And
Happen To See A Cloudy Or Stormy Sky
We Know Of A Surety That It Won't Rain Always
That The Sun Will Come Out Eventually
And
If It Is Night, Joy Will Come In The Morning!
Did Not Our Lord Christ Place His Rainbow Of Promise In The Sky
Guaranteeing Us That
He Will Keep His Word Never Again To Permit A Flood
To "Wash-Out Our Play!" Aka Destroy The World!?!
We Must Build Our Hope On Christ
And
His Unfailing Righteousness!
May The Dear Lord Help Us Today To Not Look At What Is
But
To Fix Our Hopes On Him
And
All That He Would Have Our Lives To Be!
Please Wittingly Stand On The Promises Of Almighty God!
Please Dare To Hold To Almighty God's Unchanging Hand!
Please Unwaveringly Choose To Trust The Heavenly Love Of
The Living God Of Grace Who Inhabits Glory
And
Feels What You Feel
And
Cries Over You!
Peace!
