Journey through darkness

Consumed by fire of sin

Filled with desires of flesh

Bound for hell’s tailspin

 

Enemy’s false words

Promises unfulfilled

Confidence now waning

Whisper of hope killed

 

Shepherd’s gate opens

Calvary’s light beholds

Kneel now, accept His grace

Heaven’s path unfolds

 

Flesh left in darkness

Repentance of past ways

Leaving sin’s wilderness

Faith in Christ each day

 

Lord’s grace accepted

Covered with Father’s love

Savoring hope’s reward

Glory from above

 

Holding fast in trust

Faithful, transforming pace

Redemption forever

Joy’s heavenly place

From Philippians 3:20:  “But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

We basically have two choices to make in dealing with the mysteries of God.  We can wrestle with Him or we can rest in Him.

From Mark 9:23-24:  “Jesus said to him, ‘If you are able!  All things can be done for the one who believes.’  Immediately the father of the child cried out, ‘I believe; help my unbelief!'”

Calvin Miller (1936-2012) was an American pastor and Christian author.

When we focus faith upon Christ’s light, the enemy’s empty plans fall into his own empty darkness.

Faith is a plant that can grow in the shade, a grace that can find the way to heaven in a dark night.

From Psalm 17:3:  “If you try my heart, if you visit me by night, if you test me, you will find no wickedness in me; my mouth does not transgress.”

William Gurnall (1616-1679) was an English author and member of the Anglican clergy.

From Hebrews 6:19-20:  “We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain, where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.”

I understand that I cannot see what the future holds, but faith will keep moving me forward.  [From Hebrews 11:1:  “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”]
