Word

Hebrews 1:3 — The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.

With white-knuckled grip

I cling

to Your word.

With tears pouring down my face

I recount

Your promises.

It is only

what comes from Your mouth

that sustains me -

Your Spirit

the breath in my lungs,

Your Scripture

what upholds my bones.

You are

a stable foundation

when all else crumbles,

an impenetrable fortress

when all else fades away.

Without You

I would cease to live -

with You

even in turmoil

I am complete.

Amen.
