Midst Life's Maze

Many times challenged 
                   mysteriously by life’s enigmas
                                                               multifaceted… 
                                                        midst reality 
                                             maze along sinuous whereabouts…

mostly posing as a puzzle 
            meaningfully presented --- yet becoming
                                         meaningless with twisting complexities or even
                                  magical enclosed around wall of
                    make-believe pursuits…

my soul, wandering as a lost pilgrim
                                miserably trapped within web of unbelief 
               mourns to find divine paths…

                                                          
Mercifully, I get rescued, while  
            my heart yearning for peace
                        miraculously finds freedom from
                                         mighty* Saviour Who’s ready...
                                    
moment by moment --- turning
                   my enlightened faith toward His
                                  majestic garden of replenishment…
                                                    making me strong now
                                                           more fervent to serve, blest...
        
ministering gladly, ascending
     mount of triumph by God’s grace 
                                               magnified.

*Isaiah 60:16 …Thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
