STATE OF
DISBELIEF!!!
As
I lie on the ground, gazing at the stars,
I
am amazed by your magnificence, your perfection,
Manifested
in the shiny bright stars, the crescent moon,
The
air that I breathe, the swaying trees, the chirping crickets,
And
yet, in the midst of all this magnificence, I still doubt,
Doubt,
when you tell me you love me just as I am,
Doubt,
when you promise me a future full of hope
Oh,
what a constant state of disbelief!!!
See,
while the birds sing and the elephants trumpet,
While
the lions roar and the goats bleat,
The
humans whine, the humans complain,
We
sin and fall short of your glory,
And
still, you love us
In
the midst of our disbelief and constant sinning,
You
still forgive us; welcome us back to the fold,
And
yet we continue to be in a constant state of disbelief!!!
Did
you not create us in your own image, own likeness?
Are
we not priceless pieces of art, perfect in every way?
Did
you not part the red seas and save your people?
Did
you not make the bread rain down from heaven to feed your people?
Did
you not deliver your people to the Promised Land?
And
yet, they grumbled, they worshipped other gods
They
forgot and demanded a King,
Deliver
us Lord from this human state of disbelief,
May
our faith be like that of Abraham,
Ready
to sacrifice his one and only son for you,
May
our courage be like that of Gideon,
Though
the least in his family, from the weakest clan
With
just 300 men, 300 trumpets, the Midianites turned on each other
May
we hunger and thirst for you like David did,
The
man without any doubt of your love, the man after your very own heart!!!
No
longer then shall we doubt your word and promises,
Though
the night may be too dark, the desert too dry,
Though
the road may be rocky, difficult, unbearable,
Though
we stumble and fall,
Though
the journey of life may make us weary, discouraged, disappointed,
May
we always remember that we are never alone,
That
dawn shall come and the sun shall shine bright again,
That
your word lives forever in this life as well as in the next,
No
longer in a state of disbelief, we soldier on, surrounded by your magnificenceJ
