Jacob's Ladder

How great is your hunger for God?
How desperate are you for His staff and His rod?
Are you desperate to know his plan for your life?
Are you sick of your scheming, your fear and your strife?
Is your soul disturbed right down to the core?
Are you hungry to feel his embrace once more?
Is life a daily spiritual war?
And your spiritual sickness hard to ignore?
Is your head resting on a pillow of stone?
Are you weeping, rejected, outcast and alone?
Have you been cast out into a foreign land?
And despite what you pray you can’t see His hand?
Have you tried to manipulate life to your gain?
Are you stuck no matter how hard you strain?
Have your relationships crushed every hope and dream?
Are you cast as the victim of your own foolish scheme?
Are you famished to find some life giving bread
To breathe life into things that are presently dead?
Perhaps you are right where God needs you to be.
Desperation is the ladder to eternity.
