Next Steps

See I have broken through.

See I have broken through.

Look and see I have already broken through.

Up close it looks broken.

Up close it feels like you are through.

In the place of brokenness it feels broken.

Looking up from the pit, all you can see are the peaks of brokenness, the heights of brokenness, the edge of that which was broken.

It feels like the pit, it looks like the depths of darkness, yet from my perspective it is the place of breakthrough!

Did I not say “for I have already broken through!”?

Who would have thought that here you would find yourself?

Yet this was my plan all along!

For you think you have found yourself in the broken place, in the place where everything is broken.

But you have found yourself in the place of breakthrough!

“This is my breakthrough, I am going to breakthrough”

For you know, now you know what is going to happen next.

Prostrate on the staircase, collapsed on stair, for you have had enough, you have gone as far as you can go.

Behold…

Yes BEHOLD!

What is it you see?

The whole step broken, all the steps above this level broken!

Yes that is it. All the steps above broken!!!!

You know the question you want to ask me?

Now how am I supposed to reach the top?

That’s it, I can see the smile form upon your lips!

For you know what I want to say about this..

Do you need a hand? Do you need a lift? Can I help you up?

Yes can I help you up?

Yes Lord can you help me up?

For you know the next step.

From the broken place to the elevated place.

From the broken place to the elevated place.

From the place of confinement to the place of freedom.

From the lowly place, to the elevated place.

From the broken place to the place of wholeness.

For I will restore the years the locust has eaten.

New for old replacement.

Better than before.

Greater than before.

More prosperous than before.

Stronger than before.

More powerful than before.

The mighty one, the chosen one, the strong one, the champion.

The royal one, the appointed one, the anointed one, the elevated one.

Psalms 40:1-5 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up out of a horrible pit a pit of tumult and of destruction, out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord. Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who makes the Lord his refuge and trust, and turns not to the proud or to followers of false gods. Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with You! If I should declare and speak of them, they are too many to be numbered.
