The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
From 2 Samuel 22:29: “Indeed, You are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord lightens my darkness.”
Peering into endless darkness
Fearing night’s disquieting steps
Hiding in wilderness shadows
Hearing distant tap at doorstep
Searching horizon, now silent
Missing gracious slice of moonlight
Looking into starless abyss
Galloping toward hidden knight
Catching glimpse of advancing dawn
Feeling comfortable with fate
Focusing on ember of light
Opening journey’s final gate
Reaching intended rendezvous
Bring peace to life’s blessed love
Sharing from adventure’s story
Finding early sunrise above

Faith’s answers unfold
Sharing steadfast love

Seeking out God’s will
His comforting hands mold
Heart’s new attitude
Brighter times unfold
Clutching God’s wisdom
Promises to behold
Safe in His refuge
Faithfulness unfolds
Hearing each prayer
Spirit’s blessings uphold
Dark times abating
Life’s new day unfolds
Waiting no longer
God’s connection takes hold
From Psalm 143:9-10: Save me, O Lord, from my enemies; I have fled to You for refuge. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. Let Your good spirit lead me on a level path.”
