Nine months ago, we met Caleb.
Today he took his first step.
Five weeks and more he’s pulled up
To stand, pushed a chair as a walker,
Shown desire, strength, balance.
But when all visible support vanished,
He sank down. Never fell. Just gave up.
He lacked belief.
Today, after ten seconds of free-standing,
He stepped out with his left foot, then
Sank down again, slowly.
I wonder: I am in Christ, his Spirit in me.
I can walk in holiness.
But do I? Or do I look at my flesh,
My feelings, and sink down, slowly,
Lacking belief?
