Seeing the Great Divine

Earnest prayer is uttered. The answer always comes,

Oft’ times before we realize - before our asking’s done.

But we do not see it as we echo our appeal,

Asking for the very thing that God has now made real.

The answer looms before us, but we bid it “go”,

Thinking it a figment, thinking God is slow. (Acts 12:5-16)

Or, hurried prayer is uttered; the answer God would send,

If we lingered earnestly – our busyness suspend.

But we are impatient and wait not on the Lord;

Just a moment longer there His grace would be outpoured.

So we often forfeit God, His answers we ignore.

Or we do not truly ask His mercy to implore.

And so we go about our days, and God remains unseen.

Enduring mediocre lives when God could intervene.

The saddest thing about it all – we say that God is real,

But He is hidden from our view, His glory is concealed.

O, that I would truly come, my heart to Thee incline,

And see the answer You reveal – O, see You, Great Divine!

Jesus Christ has been my Savior since 1975. Robert, the wonderful man that God provided to love me has been my husband for 48 of those years. We have five grown children, with children of their own. Of course, that means that we have grandchildren - ten to be exact, and nine great-grandchildren with another one on the way. I have been a stay-at-home mom, sometimes helping to supplement the income from within the home. Now I am a stay-at-home grandmother. Jesus Christ has been my guide and keeper and I have found, in all the trials, heartbreaks and good times that He just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter as the years roll by. My future is secure and I look forward to eternity in the presence of my Creator, Redeemer and King.
