Yet To Be # 71

I sought the Lord and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears.

What Happens Next When You Are Afraid?

Evening Sky

What happens now? After that which was, is now gone forever.

What should be done when I feel afraid?

How should it be?

Backed into a corner with two sides converging;

With no where else to go, either the left or the right.

Neither up nor down.

But the heart knows as surely as it beats within the breast.

The mind is swift to act but conceives nothing but fear.

And fear brings along with it, torment.

Move into the light;

Seek understanding.

Think of the good, remind the soul of the food we call life. 

Life, the precious fabric of being is fleeting.

Delicate yet strong and at the best of times, resilient.

In all things life cannot be stamped out, but finds a way to shine transcendent.

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.” 1 John 4 verse 18

“I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.” Psalm 34 verse 4

Christ is our true hope.

Hope rocks some serious acquaintance.

What if it doesn’t happen?

What if time passes where days turn into weeks, week into months and months into years, and still there is nothing.

What then?

Does hope die?

Does faith fade?

Has it all been for nought? In vain, as we look up and see nothing?

Hope has no limits. 

There is no ending to hoping, only a beginning and a forever. 

Christ is our true hope.

He is the alpha and the omega; the first and the last. 

In him we have redemption, salvation and life.

He came to give life and to give it abundantly.

There are no limits.  

“O fear the Lord, you saints; for there is no want to them that fear Him.”  Psalm 34 verse 9

#2 Time Into Eternity

When time passes into eternity,

And the mortal becomes the immortal, then time is over. 

There is no ending, no pain, no fear, no dying and no forgiveness;

Only the reward of life’s choices and the realization that eternity has no clock.

“In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened and the doors shall be shut in the streets when the sound of the grinding is low…then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”  Proverbs 12 verse 3, 4 and 7

Yet To Be #20

We have heard a rumour from the Lord…For the Lord hath spoken it.  And the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.  Obadiah 1 verses , 1, 18 and 21

Today, the word rumour has a negative meaning. When you look at the verse, the rumour is from the Lord is a report. The Lord spoke it and He is the one who is head over all things.  In a coming day He will reign and rule in righteousness.  (Vicissitudes of Life, 2007)
