Continued from 2026-04-21 Fly The Flag YAM: (Safety 6/?)
I am… falling facedown.
The earth beneath my feet
That I thought solid bedrock
Collapses
Beneath the weight
Of pursuing holiness
At the cost of relationship
Underneath
We find an ocean of grace
I look for Jesus.
He is walking on the water
He reaches down
To pull up
My teenage grandfather
And me
We cling to him.
And each other
Not our judgement
Not our righteousness
Not our roles
Our only identity
The sheer desperate gratitude
Of those who have been saved
From a fate worse than death
Jesus looks to us.
He says:
“In the kingdom of God
There are no fathers and mothers
No clean and unclean
There are only those…”
“Who know they need Me!”
To be continued
Reflection
I feel…
- Saved
- Connected
- Belonging
- Held
Scripture
“Listen to me, all you rebel kings and all you upstart judges of the earth. Learn your lesson while there’s still time.
Psalms 2:10-12 TPT
Serve and worship the awe-inspiring God. Recognize his greatness and bow before him, trembling with reverence in his presence.
Fall facedown before him and kiss the Son before his anger is roused against you. Remember that his wrath can be quickly kindled! But many blessings are waiting for all who turn aside to hide themselves in him!”
Inspired by Prayers on Fire for Men
