A GIDEON MOMENT
Perhaps she meant what she said,
And was Holy Spirit led…
“You’re the strongest I’ve known”,
Not a feature I’d own
But rather, not let it go to my head.
–
Church was a time for crying,
The man whose self was dying…
Couldn’t sing very long,
Tremor in his song
And the Spirit new hope was supplying!
–
I had been to my bottom and back,
Or at least was on the right track…
Dependent on God
Is hardly odd,
When He’s the only one with the knack.
–
Perhaps God was saying through her,
Pronouncing a new “Ben Hur”…
Gideon hid
When an Angel bid*
Him, as a mighty warrior!
–
Surely I needed exhorting,
For my strength was feeble and halting…
I came there to see
What the Lord would do with me,
I needed encouragement salting.
–
It was reaffirmed that hour
That although I’m different I flower…
By far the best
At the Lord’s behest
Being part of our church–in Godly power!
