Walking
With God
by
Barbara Philbrook
Enoch was
such a friend he walked with thee,
and was translated so that death he'd never see.
Abraham
and you shared such aura,
that you stopped for discussion before destroying
Sodom and Gomorrah.
So
confident was his belief that you would provide,
he was willing to sacrifice his son though he was torn
apart inside.
Jacob
wrestled with an angel all through the night,
so great was his need to be anointed anew in your sight.
Mary was
unwed and told she would bear a child,
she obediently said "according to thy word" in
a voice meek and mild.
Joseph
sold as a slave became second in command,
by interpreting dreams as God had planned.
David as a
child was chosen to be king,
and he slew the Giant with a stone and a sling.
Moses
parted the red sea and brought forth water from a stone,
yet never stepped foot in the land He was shown.
Jephthah
made a vow if only he could defeat the enemy,
and his child had to be sacrificed, as hers was the first
face he did see.
Walking
with God is an awesome experience for one and all,
Lord may I promptly do thy will when on me you call.
