Every step

Do you ever think about Jesus or the way He thinks of you?  Did you ever have some one to follow whose steps are always true?  In times of trial when the light grows scarce do you squint and run or stand the fight?  Do you have those courageous moments when you know everything is just going to turn out right?  Is reason your spiritual solace where logic rules the day?  Where every emotion pesters until its locked away?  Do fear and greed enforce the need to have each situation turn out right?  Do you ever think about Jesus and that He’s thinking about you tonight?

Are all of your prayers so hopeful, delivered in shaky words and fallen tears?  Do you tell them of your weakness or are they unaware of all those fears?  Do people come to offer or seek the help they desperately need?  Did you ever think about Mary and what it took to watch Him bleed?  Are you critical of what He’s found worthy choosing to work harder for the grade?  Do you ponder all your failures, keeping account of each mistake that’s made?  Is it freedom that you’ve welcomed or are you still yet to be freed?  Do you nurture all that’s growing or look to plant each seed?

I know I’ve spoken grossly my stewardship so slack.  But none of that makes me worry as Jesus has my back.  I walk this road with knowledge of His grace in faith and love.  Standing when my knees wobble with strength from the Lord above.  I wish for you abundance, nothing may you lack.  May His shield of faith surround you as the enemies launch attack.  There is one thing that keeps me going even when the road falls away.  I am assured that He will hear me each and every time I pray.

So I’ll take some time this evening to seek Him and His peace.  And pray that your pain subsides and that your trials cease.  Maybe I’ll take a moment to petition for your increase.  I hope that you’ll consider as Jesus prays tonight.  That He’s standing up for Glory, keeping you in His sight.  He’s praying you’ll be filled with courage to stand up for what is right.  Did you ever stop to wonder that Jesus prays for you?  That He’s kneeling there in Glory over everything we do?  Did you ever follow someone whose every step is true?
