This is beautiful. It's amazing to consider the miracles God has worked, is working, and will work in his chosen nation.

I simply adore this one... It's so true and exciting that the Lord can do absolutely ANYTHING... Nothing is impossible with God. Blessings

what a great way to portray those ideas, in tanka form, Kim. Is it for Psalms challenge?

An interesting sidebar, perhaps: The sun, the moon, the stars, all obey God's orders. And we--- rebel. If the sun stood still, you'd think we'd get it... Thanks for this thought-provoker, Kim. Blessings, gw

Gorgeously written, Kim. I am seeing them standing in the field, ready, army of faith.
