Do you feel stuck in the dark? Need answers, wisdom, a bit of light on the subject? Check out the Bible.
Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path.
God’s Word — the right light from ages past, for ages to come. Let its light guide your steps.
Down here in the deep abyss,
down here in the bleeding dark,
the perils that I dare not miss…
could that shadow be a shark?
Down here where light cannot shine,
down here and I’m out of air…
how does this my soul refine?
Does my dear Lord really care?
And in my ear a whispered word,
to swim upward with all my might,
to set my every effort toward
a world of clear blue skies and light
that, right now, I cannot see,
but believe it’s promised me.
I, too, believe it’s promised to you, Andrew. And believe me when I say we see this light in the words you write. Bless your poetic soul!
Your words do me great honour.
