Question
Am I digging myself a hole or building a mountain?
Burying my self in a hole of self pity,
Or laying up treasures in heaven?
Am I cowering in the cave of Adullam
Or hiding in the clef of the rock
Where He covers me with His hands?
Am I bemoaning my lack of sight and vision
Or seeing through the eyes of God
Am I trudging along the treadmill of tradition
Or keeping on the straight and narrow way?
Wallowing in the quagmire
Of doubt and rebellion
Listening to Job’s friends?
Ok,
Am I working out my faith with fear and trembling
Or looking for an easy way out?
Is the thin veneer of faithful servant
Hiding a soul in torment
Not coping, wanting out?
Am I like a swan gliding across the water
Whilst paddling fats
to keep afloat?
Am I the only one struggling
Not wanting to take the easy way out?
Desperate to keep up appearance
Not to let the side down ?
I’m falling apart,
My worlds crumbling?
Built my life on sinking sand,
Not built on firm foundations not anchored to the rock
Enough time navel gazing
And only seeing belly fluff!
Raise up your head, look up,
See arms wide open
Knowing where your at,
He never promised that it would be easy,
But He is in your corner
With hot towels and water
Making you ready for the next round!
Signed
A beat up doubting Christian
