Susan Lafferty“Everything you have commanded us we will do, and everywhere you send us we will go” (Joshua 1:16).
No half-hearted maybes. Balking at the unknowns. Questions about personal safety.
No calculating anticipated losses.
Everything and everywhere.
No turning back.
The cross.
Reserved for the god-forsaken.
Destination of lawless ones. Convicted of stirring up insurrection. And strategizing destruction.
Those rehearsing murder or thievery as a way of life deserve this end.
So they say.
Deathly pale in light of the vision. No strength.
Alone and overwhelmed to the point of exhaustion, Daniel drops. Face to the ground.
Powerless. Speechless. Unable to breathe.
And the Lord responds to His servant. With tenderness and strength.
