The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. For the director of music. On my stringed instruments. Habakkuk 3:19 NIV The Lord is my strength For who has the authority To separate man from beast. Flesh seperated through spirit Out of the pits of the lions mouth The Lord snatches one out He lights the way with a guided path These newfound feet in rhythm From the new tunes of leading Confusion unto the beast That thought He had His prey. What has become of this one These feet that soars with the wind We must stop Him before He Tells another of this escape. In the Lord one shall find rest All the pants of life become clear Streams of living water within No longer having to search alone Protection from the beast For it's left chasing it's tail in circles Of the one that got away As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. Psalms 42:1 NIV

Reading your poem I am reminded of another verse from the book of psalms--- "Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. · He makes me to lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside the still waters." · I love that quote and I recite it many times a day. Beautiful poem dear Stephan.

Hi Stephan, The scriptures you choose work so well with the poems you write. Reading your well-written verse caused me to think of Ps 37. Thanks for being a beacon of light in our poetry community. Have a good weekend my friend-Alexis

Hi Stephan, I appreciate you saying that. The Psalms that I was thinking of was PS 27: 1-6 ( I was off by 10) PS 37 is good too.

Protection from the beast For it's left chasing it's tail in circles…We pray to keep him from preying on us. God bless!

Will always be a pebble in the shoe to try to make one lose focus of the path : )

All glory to God, amen, it's after the ones to expose, keep Christ out in front to give Him all the glory, myself would be chewed up : )
