To The Horizon We Gaze.

Foreword: This piece is my take on uncertainty. Even as a Christian I worry. I shouldn't..but I do. Part of the human condition I wonder? A very well known verse in the NIV bible from 1 Peter 5 v 7 says Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. The New Living Translation says Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. I like both versions. There are of course other translations. So in the midst of a global pandemic and not knowing what is beyond my horizon, inspired my words.

To the horizon I gaze

Look at the blue above me

Breeze it gently blows

I stand amazed, just be..

Wonder what's beyond my vision

Distant, unseen, far away..

Mind a muddle, not yet clear

Revealed to me, another day?

I think, and I ponder along this path

I listen for your voice..

In sunshine my clouds are parted

Listen closely, find the sense, find the best choice..

Life you see, is a juggling act

On its stage I stand in fear..

But listen closely enough

I'll know I'll find you near...

For when I think it's all down to me

Look around is all I need to do..

See your world, see your word

Your promise will pull me through...

To the horizon I still gaze

Each step, ever nearer I travel..

Look intently with awe

Hope to glimpse your mysteries unravel...
