A new year offers an opportunity to refocus; look up to stay up!

Monday’s Message

To look down or up is a choice. Abigail’s poem is a perfect reminder of this. As we enter another year, by the grace of our Creator, may we keep our focus heavenward. Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail and Trench Classes United.
 
The first Monday of a new year
Do you hear it coming?
Do you feel it near?
The sky is rumbling
Yet the clouds disappear
So we can look in awe
In wonder
In reverence & fear
At the sight of our Lord
Our Most Holy
As mighty as a lion
As nimble as a deer
And where were we when the calling was so clear?
Over here
Not there
Worried in a world built around walls of fear
And when the flames finally appear
We point fingers
And we blame
When we should have been seeking
Calling His name
and where were we?
Seeking out fame
Trying to make a way
Of success
Nonetheless
Squandered at the attempt
Of trying to be the best
When for so long it has been so clear
How can we not see through the curtain so sheer?
Full of power and might
A magnificent sight
Drawing us near
Simply to be still
Simply to be here
The world can wait another day
We will all too soon will meet our fate
But for now come sit
And drink it all in
So rare is a moment as precious as this
​
“And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom
For such a time as this?” – Esther 4:14b
