Hebrews 12:1-2a

"Let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which so easily ensnares us,
and let us run with Endurance
the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus,
the author and finisher of our faith."
Hebrews 12:1-2a

Rise up ... and wait - for Him

Yesterday ... Today ... Tomorrow

I am
to rise up
to whatever occasion
the Lord brings me to
and remind myself over and over repeatedly,
He will also bring me through it.

I AM with you
You who is writing
You the reader
You still in turmoil, questioning why me, why now, when, what if
You standing outside the door

The Lord will bring me through it
He will bring you through it too

We have to wait
Wait believing
Wait faithfully
Wait trusting
Wait for Jesus' response to us
and then move
forward
onward

Still believing
Still trusting
Still remembering

WHO it is
we BELIEVE

WHO it is
we TRUST

WHO it is
we FOCUS upon

WHO it is
we OBEY

WHO it is
we LOVE

WHO it is
we HEAR
in the quiet solitude
and in the throbbing roar
of our beating heart

WHO it is
we SEE
when one come to salvation
when needs are met
when prayers said are answered
and when we are lost in the massive maze
of this way/that way, right/wrong thinking

It is Still GOD
on His Throne
Still the Lord Jesus
Who Reigns

All we undergo will be for good.
It is His will, His plan, His purpose
for our lives.

We do not readily see the Good
nor God
but we are aware
of His Presence
and of His Goodness

and because of Who He is
we are.
As we travel our life's path
and remain engaged with Him
and not release our grip
He is right there, right here beside us
all the way.

So rise up
where you are
stay near and nearer to Him
and wait for Him
who does and will continue to
bring us
guide us
deliver us
love us.
