52 Weeks of 52: Week 11

Week 11:  April 8, 2020

Ancient words

fresh and new

bringing life

renewing hope

Sitting on the deck

reading the resurrection story,

a phrase jumps out 

in a brand new way.

I am reminded

it all happened

"...just as He said"

Reading it

brings peace.

He had told them He would

and

He did.

When I lose sight 

of His promises

I flounder

I fake it

I fail

When I am trusting 

in anything else 

I am without hope.

It doesn't mean life

is perfect

without problems

or always easy to figure out

What it means --

When facing adversity and

doubt creeps in

I press in

I persevere and 

choose to believe

because it is, "just as He said."

He is risen 

and that is all I need.
