We pray these words encourage you
in your walk to press into the Kingdom.
The
Camel
(Jesus said): It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. Mark 10:25.
When camels ask, "what must we do
if for true life we strive?"
they find a gate they must pass through:
the gate to kingdom-life.
A camel at the kingdom-gate
will see an open door,
and hear a voice, "don't hesitate:
come in. I went before".
"Proud camel, with your humps so tall,
your head is held too high;
for you the doorway is too small-
small as a needle's eye."
Sad camel, head now drooping low,
still on this side must stay;
try as he may, it is "no go":
his humps get in the way.
"Say camel, tell me if you would
what in your humps you hide;
is it too valuable, too good
to leave it on this side?"
"Ah camel, did you say, "my wealth,
my brain, my mind, my wit,
my talents, training and my wealth,
all that I have, each bit?"
"But camel, have you not been told
that not a single thing,
that nothing that your humps may hold
can please the kingdom's King?"
Poor camel, humpless now and weak,
the King drags through the eye.
He says, "those who my Kingdom seek
must lose themselves and die"
Meek camel on the other side
waits for the King's decree;
he humbly lets the King decide
what now his task must be.
"Yes, camel, gifts you had before
the King might cleanse and trim,
and then on loan to you restore,
to use them just for Him."
New camel, in true kingdom-style,
now strives to seek God's praise;
he runs the race, and mile by mile
he thanks God for His grace.
"So: camels at the kingdom gate -
the door is open, true;
the voice yet says, "don't hesitate",
but humps will not get through." by Johannes DeViet
We would love to hear from you and what the Lord is speaking to you for the body in this last hour of time. May the Lord keep you in the palm of His hands.
