À propos de cet audio
Scripture:
Moses and Aaron and his sons were to camp to the east of the tabernacle, toward the sunrise, in front of the tent of meeting. They were responsible for the care of the sanctuary on behalf of the Israelites. – Numbers 3:38
Poem:
Struggling to fall asleep,
I wrestle with tomorrow.
How will the people respond?
Will everyone cooperate?
Bone-weary from the enormous task
That will greet me in the morning,
I must surrender
To the need for rest.
The rays of the morning
Slip under the flaps of the tent
To touch my eyelids
And welcome me to the new day.
The gentle sway of the curtain
Brings in dew-kissed morning air,
But my mind already wrestles
With the burden I must carry.
My muscles protest
As I rise to respond.
I step through the opening
Into the divine greeting
Of the Creator’s goodness.
I stand in awe of it all–
As our God feeds us
With his faithfulness.
My feet feel the earth
As my face soaks in
The gift of sunlight.
The pressure of
Today’s responsibility
Sets up camp against me
Announcing its threat to my peace.
My God is with me.
I will breathe the next breath.
I will take one step forward.
~ Esther Huhn, Today’s Responsibility
