...but the people of Israel

     walked on dry ground

in the midst of the sea.

                Exodus15. 19

(That's what obedience does.

That's what

         faithfulness looks like.

Even in the really scary places,

even in the extraordinary,

even in the every days.

Does walking with the LORD

                really matter?

Always and absolutely.

Responding,

obeying,

following,

walking with Him

       enlarges our hearts to see

the wonders of the Almighty

          right before us,

the strength of His Presence

          to take the next step,

His way through the impossible

  that will astonish the world

  and point others to Him

               for generations.

If we only knew,

   we would not hesitate for a second.)

O LORD,

If we only knew,

what we were missing.

If we only knew,

it is You we are missing.

Help us to seek You

and not just Your hand.

One step of obedience

   prepares the next.

One act of faithfulness

   changes our hearts

and equips us

           for the next.

Set,

reset,

recalibrate our hearts

  to know You are God.
