Ah, it’s a weekend again. What bliss… Weekends are like gold to me, now that school has started back up. 😀 (Except when I don’t finish all my work and then have to work on weekends. But I’m working on that. :D) What have you all been up to this week? My week has been chock full of school work (no surprise, that. :P) and not much else. Such is the life of a high school junior…
Today’s writing piece is another poem that I wrote just the other day. I’ve been reading through the Old Testament recently and really loving it! After reading Amos, I was struck with inspiration and this poem was born. The Old Testament really is filled with such beautiful and poetic writing, it’s not hard to be inspired! I’d really recommend going and reading some of it, if you haven’t recently. Yes, it’s a bit dense in parts, but oh the promises that God makes to his people are so wonderfully encouraging! I love it… So without further ado, onto the poem!
Behold!
He who treads
on the heights of the earth,
also walked among man
through the depths of the valleys.
He who stretches out the heavens
like a garment,
also stretched out his arms
on a cross.
He who touches the earth
melting it,
also touches my heart
turning it into flesh.
He who turns deep darkness
Into morning,
also turns deep mourning
Into joy.
He who causes nations
to rise and fall according to his plan,
also causes me to rise
and soar on eagles’ wings.
He who breathed
the earth into existence,
also breathes life
Into my weary soul.
Who is he?
Behold,
the LORD God Almighty
is his name.
Hannah, this was beautifully woven. What a majestic picture of our God.
I’m also reading the Old Testament-isn’t it amazing that such a God would choose to work through flawed humans like us?

Oh, Hannah, this was such a beautiful poem. I’ve been reading in the Old Testament as well, and am blown away by how much I’m learning about God and His goodness-especially towards His (often obstinate) children. 🙂 God is good!
