By Starlight or Sunlight God's Grace Appears

Grace: Moment by Moment-weekly column

God's Lamp Post of Light
As moonlight dances on the dark water
I seek the lamp post of my Heavenly Father.
Night shadows the path I take
His is the only source of light to make
the path ahead seem clearer.
Calmness fills my very being as dawn edges nearer.
I hear music of a different kind
its the first ethereal notes no one on Earth can find,
of an angel choir singing heavenly hymns
in praise to the great I AM.
I look and see
no one notices but me.
Am I the only one they are singing to?
What is it God wants me to do?
As the path winds through the dark,
Caverns of my heart
open wide,
flooding with the blaze of the Jesus' Son Shine.
Even the recesses are swept clean
with no cobwebs of old guilt left within.
Hope and Mercy break down the only protection I've ever known;
the walls surounding my soul's home.
Peace supplants fear, rooting out the weeds of discontent
so that in this place, only good things can vent.
No matter how faith appears on the outside, looking in
one can only see Christ again.
As the last light post fades to black
I know at last God's Grace is back.
Thank you Father God, for this prayer.
May I always know You are here,
close beside me all the way.
May I be a light for You until Resurrection Day!
