Tomorrow’s uncertainty

Darkness surrounds thee

Asking, where to turn?

Confidence, ready to flee

 

Focused on Bethlehem’s star

God invites our trust

Savior’s love fills heart

Assurance grows, steps adjust

 

Unwavering peace stirs hope

No longer afraid

Spirit lifting faith

Comfort found in joy’s upgrade

 

Rejoice in life’s salvation

Christ’s redeeming love

Heavenly praise sings

Unafraid, fed from above

 

God’s righteousness shares vision

Blessing faith’s new lease

Seeds sown with mercy

Confidence blooms, lasting peace

From the words of Canadian writer and Christian blogger, Ann Voskamp:  “There is an unwavering peace today when an uncertain tomorrow is trusted to an unchanging God.

Faith in Christ

From Matthew 14:25-27:  “And early in the morning He came walking toward them on the sea.  But when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’  And they cried out in fear.  But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.'”

Facing life’s darkest times

Tempest sweeping over thee

Hiding from storm’s anger

Light’s shadow approaching thee

 

Fearing who comes forward

His tenderness touches thee

Rising from death’s darkness

His body’s blood saving thee

 

Recognizing Jesus

His hand reaches out to thee

Quieting surging tides

Joy now rushes upon thee

 

Hearing His faithful voice

Savior’s grace now covers thee

Forgiving life’s missteps

Redemption now awaits thee

 

Witnessing faith in Christ

Eternal love surrounds thee

Securing hope with peace

Tomorrow brightens for thee

From Matthew 14:28-30:  “Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to You on the water.’  He said, ‘Come.’  So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus.”

Our faith opens up a road with only one choice.  Embrace the light found in Jesus and leave behind those who accept walking in darkness.
