The See Saw

                                                                                     The See Saw

The see-saw took me up and down

One moment flung recklessly into the air,

The next seated securely on the ground.

Up and down,

Down and up

Fear

Focused only on "What if?" or "Just in case!"

Faith

Fastened faintly on the Father's Face

Up and down,

Down and up

"A double minded man is unstable in all his ways."

My mind a tortured teeter totter

Sometimes it worries--sometimes it prays

Up and down

Down and up

Fear

Seeks prey with this notorious premise:

"Yea, hath God said?"

Faith

Sounds praise with this glorious promise:

"The LORD is my helper!"

Up and down

Down and up

Choose faith! Then choose it again and again!

Fight fear--Speak God's Truth to the doubt within

Faith finds Christ's Cross a rewarding start

A Friend holding our hand and healing our heart

Rooted in the Sure Foundation of His Presence

Resting in the Safe Embrace of Love's Perfections

No longer

Up and down

Down and up

Feet stand on the Solid Rock

"The Lord is my helper, I will not fear…"
