You see the road before you.
And all you see are ROADBLOCKS.
There is chaos.
There is confusion.
There are the unknowns.
And then you hear the words
"COME TO ME".
You look to the left.
You look to the right.
You can't see the ONE who is calling you.
And then you hear the words
"FOLLOW ME".
You look to the left.
You look to the right.
You can't see the ONE who is calling you.
And then you hear the words
"TAKE COURAGE. It is I. Do not be afraid" (Matthew 14:27)
You look to the left.
You look to the right.
And then you look straight ahead.
And the ROADBLOCKS. got bigger.
And then you start to run the other way.
And then you hear the words~
"FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS" (Hebrews 12:2).
And then it all makes sense in the senseless.
JESUS is the ONE calling you.
You turn around and see the ROADBLOCKS.
But then something happens
that is so supernatural
that you can't believe it is happening.
You take the first step on the road before you.
Despite the chaos.
Despite the confusion.
Despite the unknowns.
Because JESUS is calling you.
And at that moment
PEACE overwhelms you
as you walk through
the chaos
the confusion
&
the unknowns.
It is THE PEACE THAT TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING
because what you
SEE before you
that is filled with
chaos
confusion
and the unknowns
there is no
PEACE
to be seen.
But because you are so focused on the
UNSEEN,
you
FOLLOW HIS VOICE
because it is
JESUS who your eyes are so FIXED on
that nothing around you matters anymore.
For your FAITH has become bigger than your
FEAR
the moment you take the first step,
even though all you can see
in front of you
is
chaos
confusion
and the unknowns.
You can't believe that you are
actually
pressing forward
despite what you see,
but with each step you take
something is happening to you
in the midst of
the chaos &
the confusion
the unknowns
because your eyes are looking beyond
what you see and don't see happening
and
what you feel and what you don't feel happening
because
you are
FOLLOWING the ONE
who called you to
COME
and to
NOT BE AFRAID.
For HIS WORDS have become your
REALITY
and you refuse to stop
PRESSING FORWARD
despite
the chaos
the confusion
&
the unknowns
because
you KNOW the ONE
who you can't
SEE,
but who you
FOLLOW
as you
FIX YOUR EYES
"not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal"*,
continuing along the path
that GOD has set before you
because you don't walk alone.
"Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving
for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all"
*(2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
Oh PRESS FORWARD with the ONE who will
take you beyond
the chaos
the confusion
and the unknowns
as
you
FAST from whatever
ROADBLOCKS.
are before you
that appear to be so big
that you can't believe that you will ever get past them,
but you WILL as you
take each step anyway
with the ONE who will give you all that you need
to move beyond whatever
chaos
confusion
&
unknowns
that strive to keep you standing still
because you
"HOLD ON"
(listen to the song below)
to the ONE who is
HOLDING on to you.
