Water and the Word: Roundabout
Exodus 13:18 So God led the people by the roundabout way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea.
Ever feel like your life is filled
with wilderness roundabouts;
like you keep circling ‘round,
repetitiously revisiting
barren places and circumstances?
Ask yourself what,
aside from self,
are the common denominators.
My roundabouts are filled
with water stories:
absence, abundance,
contamination, purification;
and with saints:
people whose hearts and actions
keep circling back to life.
Despite the feel of wilderness,
providence regularly shows up
to point out the next step.
Thanks be to God!
