SHADOW OF LACK

Some days the events of my day contradicts your word,

And i begin to consent to the down-flow,

Then your word in me finds an outlet 

First in trickles,

Then like an untamed tide

You deliver reminders of who you are

And what you have accomplished for me

Sometimes it's just a word

Other times a phrase

Or a scripture

Pointing me to the Word that supersedes 

Every let down

Every lack

Every weakness

Every false start

Every contradiction

Then I profusely thank You

For leading me besides still waters

For feeding me through a raven at the brook

For letting me share bread and fish with 4999

For challenging everyone who wanted to stone me for adultery

For braving the cross

Your Word requires no validation

Even though our experiences are proofs

You are a stand-alone

All encompassing

Author and perfecter

And the in-between

So when i speak Your word

I am reminded

I am energized 

I am updated

I am 

As He is.
