Clouds of change fill morning’s sky
Hidden in frozen crystal ball
What will tomorrow bring?
Many questions wait to free fall
Transformation rides each wind
Hidden story’s unwritten thread
Others forecast gloom and doom
Some say, better times ahead
Harmony fills every thought
Hidden in history’s playbook
Another bridge, not too far
Truth discovers faithful nook
Joyful peace, flowing with hope
Hidden anthem’s spirited choice
Rodeo’s last mount to ride
Countless answers offer voice
Witnessing
Father’s creation
Every river straightened
Flowing with His grace
Peace
Trusting
Father’s teachings
Scripture lies open
Heart gathering His wisdom
Faith
Praising
Father’s light
Given clean slate
Forgiveness carries burdens away
Hope
Cherish

Another heart transformed
Journey into new life
Opportunity
Trust
Father’s love
Transformed in spirit
Scaling every high mountain
Courage
Embrace
Father’s love
Grace opens eyes
Darkness transformed into light
Faith

God will use failure in your life to break down that strong desire in your heart to see your name in lights. And when He finally breaks you of that lust for recognition, He may place you before the lights like you’ve never imagined. But then it won’t matter. You won’t care if you’re prime time of small time, center stage or backstage, leading the charge or packing the baggage. You’re just part of the king’s army.
From Galatians 5:26: “Let us not become conceited, competing against one another, envying one another.”
We can’t avoid darkness or pain in this life. But we can go to the Lord in our weakness, knowing that In Him we are made stronger.
From 2 Corinthians 3:17-18: “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.”

From 1 Peter 1:6-7: “In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
