{":To Act In Ways:"}

OUR IMPATIENCE TO

HAVE GOD MOVE NOW,

TO ACT IN WAYS THAT

MAKE SENSE TO US,

WILL DRIVE US

TO TAKE CONTROL OF OUR LIVES.

GOD IS MOVING IN WAYS

THAT WE CAN NOT

SEE OR UNDERSTAND.

THIS MEANS

WE ARE LEFT

WITH THE QUESTION,

"DO I TRUST HIM?"

WE CAN CHOOSE TO

BOW THE KNEE NOW

AND ASK HIM

TO FORGIVE US

FOR TRYING TO SQUEEZE

THE ANSWERWE WANT OUT OF HEAVEN,

OR WE WILL BOW

THE KNEE LATER IN REMORSE

AT OUR FOOLISHNESS

IN THINKING THAT WE KNEW

BETTER THAN GOD.

WE ARE ALL THIRSTY

IN DIFFERENT WAYS,

DEEP DOWN IN OUR SOULS.

IT IS A THIRST

AS ANCIENT AS THE HILLS.

BUT IT IS A THIRST

THAT CAN BE SATISFIED ONLY

IN CHRIST.
