Dismayed by the demand

Ever dismayed by the demand?
Narrow door.
Only one way to
 the Father.
Denying self, 
taking up the cross daily.
So much surrender
entering
the Kingdom of God.

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]

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.
