These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Direction

When the way is unsure,
and the leadership's naught,
'tis our best to endure
in the things truly taught.

When the days are the tasks
of the days gone before,
when the things I've been asked
make me do or ignore,

I must honor, obey
the One, Who is Lord
in the things, that I say,
and I read from his Word.

When my hopes are on hold
on the frozen day's path,
I must do as I'm told
'til more freedom can laugh.

One must wait for the Hand,
that guides the True Way.
And to follow his Plan
is the surest of days.

It won't always be dark
when The Lord makes His Move.
But for now, we must park
lest his Justice reprove.

Hope is found in The One,
Who made Heaven and Earth.
Rest your heart in the Son,
Who makes sons by rebirth.
