"On Receipt" [Module #135] (Luke 11:5-8)
When we’ve no resource for a task,
All we can do is hope and ask,
Then God is kind to give us life –
He does not leave us in our strife.When folks around, our kith and kin,
Quite troubled are from life of sin,
Then God will kindly lead us on
And show us road to walk upon.It may not be a friendly way,
Or even one of which we’d say,
“I knew this road myself all right”,
For such a road lies out of sight.When we’re jammed up against the foe,
Have no idea where to go,
God knows our place – coordinates –
Like GPS, “recalculates”.There’s no place we can go from Him;
We are His kids – in end He wins
The cosmic battle of the age,
While peace abounds at every stage.Lord, thank You for the loving care
You show us here – and everywhere;
Be with my friends and enemies;
Grant grace to all as it shall please –You in Your way and time, O Lord,
Through channels of Your grace be heard
Life-giving words through hand and pen,
’Till all return to You again.Thanks Lord for this.
