I have walked the way of Abraham;
not knowing where the end.
But to test my trust He pointed me;
to the mountain He did send.
Will He say ‘Enough!’ – ‘the test complete’,
when my willingness He does see?
When I saddle up and begin to move,
will He then say ‘enough’ to me?
Will I travel on till the end’s in sight;
will He then say ‘far enough’?
Will He let me climb just so far,
but not past very rough?
“Before too late, I will provide”,
but yet I see no ram.
I’ve reached the top, the fire is hot;
are we to be the lamb?
“You’ve hoped in vain” the voices say;
‘my God will not come through.
I’ll never hear Him say ‘enough’;
I’m here to pay my due’.
My mind is set to bind us all;
for years we’ll have to pay.
I’d hoped to hear Him say ‘Enough!’
somewhere along the way.
My trust required to bitter end;
the end my trust will meet.
My trust remains, it’s still in tack;
this now my test complete.
He watches close so not to miss,
He knows His timing’s near;
as promised from the very start,
at last . . . ‘Enough’ I hear.
This describes our walks with Him so perfectly, for everyone who goes through hard circumstances, wondering “when.” When I ask if its enough yet, He always tells me to keep trying, just keep going. I remind myself of a kid on a long trip, asking “Are we there yet?” a zillion times. ha!
God bless you and yours Mike, as you share what He gives you to keep trusting with everyone else, so we can too.
