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

Thank you for reflecting on the thought, the reminder, to focus and cling to God with your edifying poem. God bless you.
Like Peter I would have sunk but I don’t have to and may with His help succeed even before I stand in His presence.
