the waiting game

I wait on God, for he is who’s in charge,

the lord, the boss, the mentor and the coach,

but more than that, he is our ground ‘at large’

of being, and becoming, not reproach!

For he’s who now each day renews my strength,

so I can soar with wings like eagles do,

and run and not grow weary, and at length

when walking, to not stumble, but renew!

Contentment with our lot, is greatest gain,

if we have first of all - true godliness;

for even if it means to go through pain,

it knows that life that's permanent can bless.

For when we came into this world at first,

all that was in our hands is what we’ll take

away with us when we are fit to burst

into the next, where we'll land wide awake!

Who lives in this world, is no longer me!

Though it is true I journey through this place,

the one who only knows what one can see

is narrowly confined within their space.

As foetus in the womb is meant for birth,

the Christ-life that is growing now in me,

will not be so confined to this old earth,

and is my destined new identity!

I am convinced that details of my life
are worked & fashioned by God's weaving hands

to bring a basket of good (out of strife),

a future hope that’s following his plans!
