Perfect Pause

 Yahweh is perfect in all He is and does

Why we can trust Him for all we are and do

Our lives re-arranging, our God is not changing 

He’s composing our minds to renew

When the stroke struck in early ‘19

My life firmly fixed in fast forward 

All at once I’m told, your life’s now on hold 

You now need less stress and way more Word!

Adapting to down time has been harder than hoped 

At times I’ve struggled with meaning 

There’ve been days my life verse felt more like a curse 

Perfect Peace means way more I’m now gleaning 

As usual with God, His timing is perfect 

I needed the downtime to heal 

His timing not mine, on hold is divine

When He pushes play, it’s for real 

What I couldn’t see, still can’t if I’m honest 

His vision is so far above 

He puts us in places, holds us there on our faces 

He fashions full lives out of Love

As a maker He stands unique 

He doesn’t need raw materials, He makes ‘em

We don’t understand, but can’t question His hand

He created the kiln where He bakes ‘em!

I’m so glad He won’t  change amidst all this disquiet 

I’m thankful He speaks day by day

Sustained for a cause, living through perfect pause 

The finger of God pushes play.

Isaiah 26:3

You will keep in perfect peace

those whose minds are steadfast,

because they trust in you.

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
