The Lord went ahead of them (Exodus 13:21; NLT).
Lord,
You’re just a step ahead:
My hope, my strength, my wine, my bread;
I want to learn from all you said,
And serve you.
Lord,
You’re always very near:
My help, when I am faced with fear;
I want to follow, thank, revere,
And serve you.
Lord,
You’re just a breath away:
My light, my truth, my life, my way;
May I grow more like you each day
And serve you.
Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me (Matthew 25:40; NIV).
What a blessing to know that He isn’t far off, but only a step ahead calling me to follow Him. The distractions of health and this sinful world don’t matter as I gaze on His beauty.
Thank you Ruth for your faithfulness in producing these meditations/prayers in the midst of your own troubles, I am sure you make our Lord smile.
What a lovely thing to say. Alan. You are the first person to have understood the meaning of this blog! XXXX
