New
So many fear the consequence of doing something new
They tend to have no confidence in what they're asked to do
And choosing not to trust in God to help them in the Way
They fail to gain the blessing He has promised for that day
And sometimes more than just a day they miss their whole life long
The fulness of the journey for the fear they might go wrong
And not just they but others whom they might have chance to meet
Are lost in their complacency that leads to their defeat
But some perceive the challenge of some new thing they might do
An invitation they might treasure cherished by the few
And grasping life with gusto they proceed to stifle fear
And set off with a heart of faith full knowing God is near
And sure to be their Portion in each challenge that they face
Their Guide and faithful Comforter adorning them with grace
That guides them in the passages they meet along the way
Though sometimes dark with mystery always to light of day
Where even more than once before their confidence is strong
And knowing by experience their journey won't be long
As in His Word He's promised us we'll never have to face
Temptation or its challenges that have the strength of grace
For grace has not an equal when we put it to the test
And becomes even stronger when it's charged with Sabbath rest
As we absorb God's Spirit for the challenges ahead
And trust He'll never fail us in the path where we are led
And more than fear excitement takes the charge in how we feel
Excitement for the future when at last we have God's seal
Placed on us by His Spirit through the workings of the Son
Who is our Intercessor as They work to make us one
One with Them in the journey that we're promised has no end
That once was walked before us by our most endearing Friend
Who promised us His Spirit Who has never let us down
Imparting us His power that we find on holy ground
Each morning noon and evening in His Word with Him in prayer
Assured by our experience He'll always meet us there
To mold us for the future and the new things we will do
Awaiting us in heaven where He's soon to be bring us to
Psalm 16:1-11
