I searched and searched in strenuous thoughts of what I hoped was God’s will
From the little words of my lips
To the lofty works of my hands
To the many thoughts of my mind
To the recondite decisions of my heart
What was God’s will my soul desperately yearned?
But in the life of his words did I find my oasis .
I found God’s will
In my sincere rejoinder to the little voice that always asked
“What will Jesus do?”
I found God’s will
In the freshly baked bricks
The building stones in my rock bottom;
My rebuilding site after so much brokenness.
I found God’s will
In the askew pieces of my life
Mended and threaded
To a perfect piece;
A stunning reflection of a god.
I found God’s will
In lines that fell in pleasant places on my path;
His will lay in the beautiful pastures He brought me into
While I laid in plain fields.
I found God’s will in the still small voice that led the way;
In times of decision,
In times of confusion
Even in still moments.
I found God’s will in that strength:
Embracing me in times unbearable
My sustenance in phases of weariness.
I found God’s will in that door that stands shut;
Firmly shut
Defying all odds of my efforts
Because there is a better plan.
I found God’s will in that wind of peace
That has led me to still waters,
That has kept my soul and stilled my fears;
Constantly restoring my being.
I found God’s will everywhere;
Everywhere you always thought He would be
Everywhere you wanted to deny He would be
His will was perfect; very perfect
It was the right dose for the- past, present and future.
I found God’s will because I had found God
He abides in all places, even in the hollow parts of my heart
Sometimes speaking,
Sometimes listening,
Sometimes working,
But at all times, always there.
