Pharaoh

Hard-hearted Pharaoh. 

Plague after plague,

he refuses the request

or goes back on his word.

Then.

Misery yields his

sudden

confession of sin. [Exodus 10:16-17]

The cross

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.

Wholly His

He’s looking for devoted followers. Wholehearted. Wholly His.

Abiding day by day in the Vine.

To fight the good fight. And finish the race.

I watch this in brothers and sisters on the other side of the world. Their nation invaded. Future uncertain.

Yet they remain. Steadfast. Singing songs of faith.
