"Obstacle Removal" [Module #319] (Matt. 23:16-23)

When guides are blind and roads are rough,
Potholes and stones make walking tough,
Remove the obstacles to growth,
And help folks now and later – both.

But now I see a better way –
Tell each of them how Kingdom plays
A part in moving on from here
On Kingdom-layer – a way made clear.

I’d worked so hard down on the base –
Fill in one hole, then in its place
Two opened up – how can one grow
If holes in road are all we know?

Well, now I see – it’s Kingdom-life –
On Kingdom-layer above the strife
And pot-holed roads of life below –
In Christ new freedom we can know.

That makes our job far easier –
“Just hop on up – it’s breezier
And pleasant here on acetate,
Where ’round the Kingdom we can skate.

So growth’s no more impeded – now
We carry on as time allows,
And sprinkle down on earth below
Salt, light, and leaven – life we know.

New challenges we each will meet
As roads pass by beneath our feet,
But blockage from the world the beneath
No more impedes each day we greet.

Lord, as we grow up into You,
Explore this Kingdom-layer’s view,
Help us to bide in You always,
Your life in us throughout our days.

Thanks Lord for this.
