What I am is Plain to God


What I am is plain to God (2 Cor 5:11b NIV)

I can only trust my Lord for today.

For tomorrow is not yet promised,
And, yesterday, is a memory, but past.

Today, I sense an emptiness, an unkowing, an uncertainty.

Oh may I not be pulled about by doubt and fear,
I must stand my ground,
Trust my God,
I know He's near.

Flee emptiness - for greater is He who is in me than he that is in the world,
Be gone unknowingness - for though I make my plans, God directs my steps.
Crawl away uncertainty - for He who began a good work in me will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.

Depending on His strength, peace, and wisdom coming down from above,
I'm told to be "therefore wise as a serpent, and harmless as a dove." (Matthew 10:16).

This shall I be by His power and grace.
Searching my heart to surrender all...

...that brings Him disgrace.

For what I am is plain to God.
Though I groan with a longing to be clothed with my heavenly dwelling,
I know while here, I have His Spirit as a heavenly deposit.
May I live by faith and not by sight...

...for what I am is plain to God.
