Praxis - Tim Knipp (Acts. 1:1-11)

My life is the evidence of the love of God.. for the world.

Praxis: the process by which an idea
is enacted, embodied, or realized.

The sequel continues.
Though the Hero has gone,
He is not finished -
the best is yet to come.

The evidence is in,
with proofs and
firsthand testimonies
of resurrected life.

Yet still we quibble,
question, and 
want it done according
to our will.

We do it still.

While we seek comfort,
He sends danger, adventure,
and challenge.
While we stand gaping,
eyes skyward,
He sends angels
to spur us into action.

Praxis.

What will we do?
Glancing backward, 
will we remember
with gratitude the 
work He's done?
Then forgetting what is past,
will we press on?

Teach me to see
obstacles as opportunity,
disappointments as
daring me to hope on,
and change me
to be Your champion,
caring for Your causes
and moving 
to Your motioning hand.
