glimpse of weakness

Vulnerability... here's a glimpse of me, when my mind is tossing and turning, attempting to know hidden things. Why don't I stop my worrying, and trust? For God says to the thirsty who come to Him, "You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace..." (Isaiah 55:12). That verse really struck an ache in me yesterday at house church, an ache for that joy and peace, not to mention my ever-present need for guidance. Here's a poem I wrote on Saturday night:

Step by step

I walk through life

a lot of joy

a little strife

I can't see far

but with eyes on Him

I'm stepping in faith

as though on a limb

Troubles may come

and laughter too

but living it out

I'm trusting in You

So many things

I'm worried I'll need

but You will provide

always care for me

If ever I don't

have all figured out

Your Spirit with me

erases all doubt

So living in joy

even 'mid strife

step by step

I walk through life
