Fly Baby, Fly!
Psalm 91:4
He said, ‘If now I have found favour in your sight, O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.’
John 8:31-32
Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, ‘If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.’
Words of Grace For Today
Finding favour in God’s sight, and continuing in Jesus’ word; there is nothing better in life, for though we are a stiff necked people, God has pardoned our sins, and given us the promise that we are God’s children, inheritors of all that God has to give.
While the world goes nuts with fake news, deception, and gaslighting of whoever can be had, Jesus gives us the truth and makes us free, free from the all our sins, and free from the losses from others’ sins, and most of all free from all the sheer craziness of life formed from lies, from the foundation on up to the latest addition of the day.
For that we can rest at night and dream of things unreal at night, because during the day all is tied clearly to reality.
So we ask:
Can
A
Canoe
Sit in the dark
And stand against the wind
Alone?
Or does it need company,
Security cameras,
Or chains
To hold it down.
‘Fly baby fly’
Might not
Be the mantra?
Rather the words
that give one heart
are ‘Come, let us see the loons,’
by which we mean the birds on the lake
not the two legged nutters
that waste life from sunrise to sunset.
‘Rest, baby rest,’
in Jesus’ hands
all is well, all is well, all manner of things are well.
