Could a Climber Scale a Mountain? Could a climber scale a mountain, or a runner start a race, without faith that they could seize the day, and then see their goal embraced? That's how dreams can move a boulder, with one pebble at a time, and the smallest mustard seed we plant soon will grow too tall to climb. Moses led a fickle people, Noah built a ship, inland! and they had no more to lead them on than a word of God's command. There will always be the skeptics who will say it can't be done, but unless we put our doubts aside, can a better world be won? Are we fools to walk this journey, or unwise to back a cause? If we fail, then let us start again and we'll rectify our flaws. Let our love outweigh our anger, let our hope outlast our fear, and let faithful witness light our way and protect us from despair. When our strength or knowledge fails us, then our faith will see us through, for our trust rests in a loving God who is generous and true. Let the grace God offers move us to bring peace to troubled hearts, and to build tomorrow as we share all the gifts that God imparts. Text: © Allan Baer, 2011 290 Indian Rd.
