"To Follow" [Module#362] (John 12:26)
To serve – to follow You, O Lord,
Not to run ahead, invent Your words
Of guidance, rather, wait for You
To guide, direct, give point of view.You said, “Slow down, you do not see
My work at Redvers, follow Me;
It will be done, you’ll later see
The wisdom of My work through thee.”And sure enough, life did spring up
Although that journey was quite tough;
Perhaps I’d do it differently
Now I on Kingdom-layer be –But, then I did it from the world;
Quite tribulous – a nasty whirl;
It can be done down there, indeed,
But Kingdom-layer is what we need.My inner-healing – Christine’s gift –
Worked well, it gave My spirit lift;
I’d do my cancer-journey days
Quite different now – in Kingdom ways.Lord, deep in me is, “I know best”
Which isn’t true, but tied to zest
I feel when bit to gets in my teeth,
And I some obstacle can meet.“Stu, prayer-dynamics takes that on;
Just stay in Me – that way it’s gone,
And need not trip you up again;
Keep Kingdom-view with Me – less pain.”I interfere – but-in-ski like;
And wreck things up, I’m true to type;
Help me flip downside-up in You;
Do only what You want me to.“It’s okay, Stu, things will explode
To life – in fact, lift others’ loads
From ways of earth to Kingdom-realm,
With you behind – Me at the helm.“ ‘Get in, sit down, hang on, shut up;’
The road ahead will be quite tough,
But it will be okay in end;
For this to world you have been sent.“But this time you’re up on the layer;
No longer of the earth – but player
In My Kingdom-way of life,
Like Ark in flood served Noah right.“Stu, it’s all new what’s going on,
This Kingdom-life embarked upon;
So don’t go dragging worldly ways
Up here, best join in Kingdom-plays.“I’ve got you covered, stay in Me;
I’ve brought you here, then let you see
I’ve been made King of Kingdom-layer,
So come on in, be Kingdom-player.”Okay, Lord, thanks for this.
