Yet To Be # 60 & 61

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills

#27 /28 Where Did It All Go?

Too weary to think, to wish upon that star.

Dreams remain still and never born.

We go through the motions of praying, asking, begging even.

Faking belief when there are no eyes to see.

Not trusting, caring little or nothing of his desires.

The heart is hardened by the cruel hands of reality.

The soul is cold from the long years of waiting.

Believing in word only having no faith because works are dead. 

Look up and see… 

Who comes leaping on the winds of the morning?   

Hope.

Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the Lord our God is salvation. Jeremiah 3 verse 23

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help.  Psalm 121 verse 1

The voice of my beloved. Behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. Song of Solomon 2 verse 8

Yet To Be #59

Let not your heart be troubled.

#26 of 31 Hope Never Fails…

Temptation to stop, to close the eyes;

To turn aside from a lifetime of waste.

And hide from the terror of failure is real.

Yet we keep moving.

Keep dreaming.

Making those wistful secrets and unfulfilled desires rise like smoke in the recesses of our burnt out existence.

There is no quenching of their bright embers.

Those sparks of light, glow bright and sure;

Bathing the soul in heat.

Filling the lips with joy and song.

And opening the ears to hear the words of truth and love.

It is Hope that rises and will continue to rise until there is no breath.

Until the grass dies and the flowers fade.

Until the shadows cover the earth.

Until then, let not our hearts be troubled,

For where there is life, there is Hope.

“Let not your heart be troubled and neither be afraid.” John 14 verse 1

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound.” Romans 15 verse 13 ESV
