"Total Debt Load" [Module #190] (Luke 12:54ff; Mt.5:26;10:29; Mk.12:42; Micah 7:6)
I had not seen how these hook up
(Especially when one’s times are rough),
But as I do, I’m blown away –
These passages link up this way –The common ground is family ties,
Which comes to me with great surprise!
That’s home-turf for the UCC!
Depth-charge or bunker-buster? Please!But look at how these intertwine,
A family-base which once was mine;
So true Your word, Lord, if you please,
A mess it’s been – and now there’s these!So what’s the task I’ve come to see
Is in the mail, addressed to me?
Oh heck! That’s blown right off my bum,
As I into Your field-work run.I see Your word takes us along
Some road in You where we belong;
And then we see, like mother-T,
“A call within a call’s for me!”But even there, it’s still quite loose –
Part circumstance, a part we choose;
Lord grant that we not run away
The moment when all’s set to play.For me, I dare not pick things up –
“Glass figurines – don’t handle rough”;
I learned back in my photo-days,
Don’t mess with fragile glass or glaze.But if one walks in You, O Lord,
MYOB takes as Your word;
Keeps hands to self, and walks with care,
One passes through, gets out of there.Sometimes traversing twixt the rocks,
Best pay attention, cut the talk;
Things will ease up once through the gap
Thanks for Your way to this and that.Thanks Lord for this.
