Moses was looking after the flock of Jethro.
He led his flock to the far side of the wilderness.
Well , like him there are many times we feel low.
We are abandoned , found , question our fitness.

During the long night I tried in my soul to look further.
Did I really believe in God , why was I feeling low.
Then quite simply I said the Our Father.
It was a shaft of light, I felt such great joy.

You can muse all you like, down layer by layer.
Pursue every unanswerable question in sight.
But the answer comes in the answer to prayer.
It comes with joy like a dawning light.

I went back to sleep.
Contentment deep.

…….

The wilderness flock

with Moses looking for it

Are we just like him

See Exodus 3, 1-6, 9-12
