Faith's Opportunity

Last Sunday our speaker reminded us 
that 'every challenge is an opportunity'.
How will we respond?



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
