Whisper-weight


A whisper can move mountains...
I whispered as I watched the darkness begin to break 
beneath the weight of dawn's whisper

(and the next bit was a dash between keyboard and curtain-rise to a new day)😊









A whisper can move mountains When entrusted to the One 
Who woos from outer regions faithful rising of the sun 
Who decorates the heavens with a sumptuous glory-feast 
And feeds hunger for beauty from buffets poised on the east 
Who awes us, humbly human with his flawless majesty 
Who never turns a blind eye or deaf ear to you and me 
Who loves us so he gave the best He had, His only Son 
To pay the debt we never could for each and every one 
Who can call on His name if we but repent and believe 
A whisper can move mountains as His pardon we receive 
As mercy rends the veil of inner darkness with His Light 
Like morning's molten, golden whisper woos away the night

Matthew 17:20
"Because you have so little faith," He answered. 
"For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, 
you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' 
and it will move. 
Nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 21:21
"Truly I tell you," Jesus replied, "if you have faith and do not doubt, 
not only will you do what was done to the fig tree,
 but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,'
 it will happen.

1 Kings 19:11-12

The LORD Speaks to Elijah at Horeb
11Then the LORD said,
 “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD.
 Behold, the LORD is about to pass by.” 
And a great and mighty wind tore into the mountains 
and shattered the rocks before the LORD,
 but the LORD was not in the wind.
 After the wind there was an earthquake, 
but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

Meanwhile westward as best as I could see...
 (pretend the three pics are side by side)




1 Corinthians 13:2
If I have the gift of prophecy 
and can fathom all mysteries 
and all knowledge, 
and if I have absolute faith 
so as to move mountains, 
but have not love, 
I am nothing.
