God’s nature, God’s character, is grace

broken, sinful, like the Prodigal Son,
repentant before our Father God, Abba,
knowing he is unworthy, a wreck.
God’s nature, God’s character, is grace,
loving us while we are broken
meeting us out on the road, joyful,
when the broken has returned…

Someone like David

Someone like David

Their image of a Messiah

of the King foretold in scripture

someone like David

who would overthrow the Romans

their oppressors, their masters

Someone like David

who would bring forth the kingdom

God’s rule here on earth

God’s kingdom come.

Someone like David,

but that wasn’t Jesus

Christ, our risen Lord and Savior

riding on a donkey, a colt,

entering Jerusalem.

In our wandering, our purpose - v7

In our wandering, our purpose - v7

In our path, our living, in our way

our daily steps, our life’s journey

we find meaning, we find fulfillment,

abundance, filled to overflowing

in our wandering, our purpose

our calling, the writing, our path,

our way is already written by Almighty God.

In our path, our walk, in our journey,

in reflection, in hindsight, seeing

we are filled with gratitude, abundance

in our steps, our detours, our wilderness

our wandering in the world, the desert

we find a life of fulfillment, joy,

our way is created by our loving God.

Our way is made blessed, justified,

redeemed, made worthy, holy,

our journey in abundance, in gratitude,

blessings in our struggles, our trials,

our wandering with meaning, purpose,

teaching us through tradition, our experience

our path is made clear by sovereign God.

We are informed in our walk, on the journey

if we will hear, if we listen for God’s voice

the Spirit breathing, musing, speaking

to our spirit, to our being, our essence,

our way, our path, our steps forward

preordained, predestined, made holy

our way is blessed by eternal God.
