One Stepping Stone and Then Another

 

Yes, the LORD will give

     what is good,

and our land will yield

              its increase.

Righteousness will

       go before Him,

and make His footsteps a way.

             Psalm 85. 12-13

(What seeds are we planting?

What will rise up out of the ground?

Doing what is good and right

                        and faithful

    always yields fruit,

sometimes what is unexpected,

  but nothing God cannot redeem.

Through steadfast love, grace, peace

    and faithfulness

even in hard, barren circumstances,

God brings about goodness

                  for all people,

to provide and nourish in ways

     far deeper than materially.

How do we approach and navigate

     these impossible situations

     and among so much need?

God will reveal His way,

        when we seek Him,

one step and then another.)

O LORD,

Your clearest path through

    the briers, the chaos,

    the desert

          and even our own Red Sea,

is taking one step of trusting You

    and then the next appears.

Grant to us the courage

    to be faithful even in the hard stuff.

Give to us Your strength

           that is far beyond our own.

And let Your goodness prevail

   that You are glorified.

Even in this,

           Your way through.

Show us Your way for us

       into this day.
