Poetry
Nothing Delights My Soul More
Lord –
Nothing delights my soul more
than the stabilizing experience of trusting You!
Amid the constant background noise of the world,
nothing gives me more pleasure
than the quiet hush of Your voice
rushing like a gentle breeze to flood my heart
with The Promise:
Be Still.
I am with you.
In the middle of the frantic,
hectic pace of the world
that seems to run faster and faster
with each moment of each day,
nothing thrills me more
than the fragile touch of Your Spirit
stepping like a silent fog
into the soul of me,
filling me with the Assurance:
Be anxious about nothing.
I am The Way.
There are so many Goliath situations
struggling to find their way into my life, Lord.
Giant situations that would cause
the waters of worry, doubt, and fear
to rise up within me.
Giant situations that would intimidate me,
depleting my energy and draining my faith.
It is in the midst of such situations, Lord,
that I find
the refreshing experience
of trusting You. . .
of allowing You to strip me of everything but faith. . .
of conceding to put the situations into Your Hands
that You may conquer the ugly giants in my life
and win the victory for me.
It is in trusting You
that I am stabilized and made steady. . .
that my faith is given seed for growth. . .
that the Joy-Fruits of my faith are given birth.
Thank You, Lord,
for the stabilizing experience of trusting You
that so thrills and delights my soul!

Being in the midst of fighting my own giant right now, this poem is a balm for my weary heart and soul! It's beautiful and full of the reasons why we should trust the Lord-no matter what giant we are facing. Beautifully written and so very encouraging.
Ahhhhhh. REading this left me feeling refreshed and renewed. Your pen is overflowing with ink from the Holy Spirit. Thank you.
