And the LORD said to him,

"Take off the shoes

           from your feet,

for the place where

you are standing

           is holy ground."

                 Acts 7. 33

(Everywhere and anywhere

     God strategically brings us,

is the place of His abiding,

the reality of His Presence.

Even this impossible situation 

    is being used

    for His sacred purposes.

Even in what appears as wilderness,

        worship Him in it.

The LORD is here too.

Willing to follow Him barefoot

     is how He brings us through.)
