To obey
To be obedient
To rely totally
always
only
on Christ
on His Word
Not on self
Not on peers
Not on feelings
Not on governments
peeling promises
resulting in half truths
and lies
But to cling
to all that the Lord is
to all the security He offers
no matter what the world
suggests
To remember
the dream
He gave you
To listen
to His still small voice
heard
during the nights you cannot sleep
or during an exam you struggle to comprehend
or even with another with whom personalities clash
Don't let barriers prevent you
from hearing
with your ears, your eyes, your heart
Jesus hears
He listens
He answers
Do you pour out your heart to Him
who does hear your agony and
frustration?
Do you wait for His reply?
Are you obedient in your response
when His answer
requires
a step of faith?
