Hope Comes Round - 2
...it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to hold firmly to the hope set before us."
Hebrews 6:18
Family fortified me with support
to stay on top while testing the waters’ depth.
expectations, events, even "enemies"
were the wind and weight beneath my wings.
Worthy teachers embraced me with truth
communicating skill and thought which steady the storms
for a fledgling sailor on her course.
Scriptures were my sound teachers’ compass/lynchpin.
God's own Spirit is that killick stone,
a mentor, an aide to growth
for a doubting deckhand
with lessons bearing resolve for hasty choice.
An anchor stands as that Person worthy of belief,
whose hold balances a navigator’s hope
the Master Journeyman deserves full trust -
God's Son, that Anchor, yea my Cornerstone.
