Faith's Opportunity

Last Sunday our speaker reminded us 

that 'every challenge is an opportunity'.

How will we respond?

He Giveth More Grace- Don Moen

2 Cor.12:9

 “My grace is sufficient for you, 

for My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

Each season of life

runs rife with reasons

to trust God's Sovereignty 

The weight of what

yet waits is but

faith's opportunity

The weight of what yet waits grants opportunity for faith or fear

The Unknown, like an ocean that we cannot see or hear

Rolls in across the sands of time, revealing, breath by breath

The way that waves of day to day run rife with life and death

Spring, summer, autumn, winter, like a season-carousel

Spin round and round, on stomping grounds of hello and farewell

The weight of what yet waits to rush through gates barring Until

Keens senses to advances of its immense escadrille

Nobody knows what morrow holds, of joy or sorrow’s toll

Where Dust-to-dust must learn to trust the Keeper of the soul

Then, as we reconcile the Whiles that What-if contemplates

God walks with us and eases thus, the weight of what yet waits

All that we do not understand, oh God, help us to yield

Into Your nail-scarred Hands until Your purpose is revealed

For though we cannot see beyond the moment that we face

The weight of what yet waits is never greater than Your grace
