I just had the following encouraging thoughts a few moments ago when reading and commenting on a friend’s quotation of a poem (http://pennedpebbles.wordpress.com/ “Admire Whom?” (poem: CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED translated by Joseph Morris ))
I had a day of victory after a day of defeat yesterday, and why? Because of nothing other than focus and clinging. And that is what this poem is about- the way of life, the way of witness, the way of victory, the way of death, and the way of eternity- focus on Him and clinging to His enabling power.
When I cannot see Him plainBecause of thunder, storm, and rain
I must focus on His glorious face
Cling to His unchanging grace
To rise above the white-capped wave
That He enables me to brave
