"For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting. And His truth endures to all generations." (Psalm 100:5)
Alone
with God
We may find
it easy
to meditate
and pray
and give thanks
behind closed doors
but then
our refuge
of God's
strength and protection
wanes
We exit
and come face to face
with the reality
of distractions
People
Places
Circumstances
The distractions
are everywhere
We fail to see
miracles
Our life is centered
on the negative --
complaints
and irritation
and frustration
We do not praise
our Father in Heaven
We are not thankful
for ALL that comes our way
We do not look
for the positive
in every situation
Our emotions run us ragged
Up and down
We do not see the Sun / Son Rising
We do not see the Light
of His Presence
saturating the whole earth
Somewhere it is sunny
Somewhere the Light of the Day is bright
Somewhere God's Light is shining upon those who strive to do His will
Somewhere annoyances do not roam, but peace settles
Somewhere His Light shines in the darkest dark
Somewhere another will know Him, will come to be His
Somewhere another will die, persecuted
by people
who lack understanding,
who do not see the truth, God's Truth,
who only see and understand their own truth
It is God's Truth that endures.
ALL will come to know
and all will come to bow
and the peace of God will rule.
