I wander this journey sometimes yearning for a companion. Desires of having a conversation without judgement, guilt, lies, and fear. It's like standing on a sail-less ship, void of souls on an endless sea. Just standing there naked; yet blanket in my wanting.
Silly I know. Especially in a world full of people. Each taking their journey at different strides.
We seem to pass each other, stagnant to each others being. It is at these times I clearly hear 'Silas, what do you see?' As I look the voice says to me 'What is it that you perceive?'
It is then that a vail is lifted from my eyes . An invisible covering cloaks me into another sensation. I silently stand and observe what is happening around me with an unbelievable clarity. I not only understand the events, but I feel the emotional ties; those spoken and those hidden from view.
As quickly as I formulate a response the same voice reminds me"Be still and know...' I ponder the experience, knowing at some point in my future I will need this concealed jewel. Life has proven to me that these occurrences mark certain benchmarks in my journey or guide me in critical alternatives on this road I am traveling.
When I analyze my direction and re-examine my concealed experience, my path becomes clear. But, then there are those times when I, Silas, get in my own way.
When an obstacle is placed before me, and everything within me , along with this silent voice, tells me to go left; I choose right. Yet I with my self blindness would stumble miserably. I stumble to the point of stagnation and self-doubt. I do not cry or speak out, for this thinly vailed frame would shatter into mountains of confusion and pain.
It is with this I rest in the assurance of forgiveness and being placed back on my feet. I am humbled by the experience, and knowledge is gained. My soul is washed by the cleansing tears rushing down my face, as I am enriched.
The comfort of knowing the voice that loves me, the hand that guides me, is the very hand that not only created me, but has and will redeem me. So I reach with hope on that voided, sail-less ship. Strong faith emerges within me.Now I understand the love of Yahweh and continually yearn. Not only do I need to hear his voice, but to be in the presence of his glory, and move others towards his righteousness.
With sixty one years on this journey, I look not back at the trail of lost opportunities, but forward to what Yahweh has in store for me. I will build on this faith and proven truths Yahweh has placed in my life.
O come and taste and see, for our Lord is GOOD. This is the message of proven truths I carry on the rest of this journey. My testimony of Yahweh's Greatness and the Redemption granted to us with Grace, through our Lord Yahshua our Elohim.
Should you find yourself standing in a voided place, with endless obstacles; look up and listen closely; for your help is near. Your help comes from our El Elyon.
Hallelujah to The Most High Yahweh and to Yahshua our mighty King, through which comes our Redemption.
Sophocles
