Mediation 26-03</p><p style="text-align: left;"><Walking the Dawn Road></p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">I walk the road at dawn.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Riding the red horse of 2026,</p><p style="text-align: left;">unable to sleep,</p><p style="text-align: left;">tossing and turning,</p><p style="text-align: left;">in the chill of early morning</p><p style="text-align: left;">I step out of the house.</p><p style="text-align: left;">With no clear goal,</p><p style="text-align: left;">no fixed destination,</p><p style="text-align: left;">I lift my eyes to the sky</p><p style="text-align: left;">and walk the road.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">I check the signposts,</p><p style="text-align: left;">scan front and back, left and right.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Paths to run, to turn, to climb, to cross.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Tasks to till, to sow, to reap.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Braving snowstorms, downpours, and gales,</p><p style="text-align: left;">a missionary train</p><p style="text-align: left;">entering the upper atmosphere.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Is the engine sound?</p><p style="text-align: left;">Is the fuel full?</p><p style="text-align: left;">Are there obstacles ahead?</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">Do not stop.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Do not turn back.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Like a roly-poly toy, like a missile—forward.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Though the river be deep,</p><p style="text-align: left;">though the sea be wide,</p><p style="text-align: left;">with the Lord beside us</p><p style="text-align: left;">tsunamis shrink to ripples in a teacup,</p><p style="text-align: left;">hurricanes fade into gentle breezes.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Eighty years—only a running start.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I have seen all kinds of days;</p><p style="text-align: left;">now let us soar like eagles—</p><p style="text-align: left;">the call of mission, the path of martyrdom.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">The Red Sea parted,</p><p style="text-align: left;">the bitter waters of Marah made sweet,</p><p style="text-align: left;">water flowing from the rock,</p><p style="text-align: left;">manna and quail from heaven,</p><p style="text-align: left;">fire by night, cloud by day,</p><p style="text-align: left;">clothes and sandals that did not wear out,</p><p style="text-align: left;">the Jordan crossed,</p><p style="text-align: left;">the walls of Jericho fallen—</p><p style="text-align: left;">all engraved upon the signposts.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">Weary and burdened,</p><p style="text-align: left;">let us mount wheels of gentleness,</p><p style="text-align: left;">wings of humility,</p><p style="text-align: left;">an engine powered by the cross.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Let us place the steering wheel</p><p style="text-align: left;">into the Lord’s hands.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">The anointing given to Cyrus</p><p style="text-align: left;">continues even today.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Restore the temple of the heart.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Recover worship in spirit and in truth.</p><p style="text-align: left;">We shall behold</p><p style="text-align: left;">the mercy of the Lord.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">Alone, even a small stream terrifies us;</p><p style="text-align: left;">but carrying the Ark of the Covenant,</p><p style="text-align: left;">once we step forward,</p><p style="text-align: left;">the Pacific and the Atlantic alike</p><p style="text-align: left;">will part like the Jordan,</p><p style="text-align: left;">leading us to a land</p><p style="text-align: left;">flowing with milk and honey—</p><p style="text-align: left;">with the Lord.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">Turning wilderness into granaries,</p><p style="text-align: left;">deserts into villages,</p><p style="text-align: left;">raising leaders,</p><p style="text-align: left;">training servants of the Lord,</p><p style="text-align: left;">sending workers and the called</p><p style="text-align: left;">to the ends of the earth.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p style="text-align: left;">Drawing the blueprint of a million-city vision,</p><p style="text-align: left;">driving the stakes, stretching the lines, paving roads,</p><p style="text-align: left;">building sanctuaries, creating places of rest,</p><p style="text-align: left;">reclaiming fields,</p><p style="text-align: left;">sowing seed, gathering harvest—</p><p style="text-align: left;">unable to sleep,</p><p style="text-align: left;">I walk the road at dawn.</p><p> </p>
