A New Day is Dawning

For those of us that have had this kind of a week:

And our Bibles look like this from wear and tear:

Take heart because the dawn of a new day is coming

sooner than we think:

Pressed out of measure and pressed to all length:

Pressed so intensely it seems, beyond strength;

Pressed in the body and pressed in the soul,

Pressed into knowing no helper but God:

Pressed into loving the staff and the rod.

Pressed into living a life in the Lord,

Pressed into loving a Christ-life outpoured.
