Between us

There is a line in the sand beyond which I proceed no further.

Where grace meets dismissal,

I hide from the line of the stick I carry.

I see borderland but not the one of my making.

I cry out for mercy for the line I now see

between us.

Borderland

“He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.” Job 26:10

The middle space of war narrows to a hairline fracture as kingdoms prepare for war.  The borderland kingdom of God is here. We camp on the edge of war, and in borderland discernment speaks.

Glory readies to shatter earth’s glass ceiling, slicing the veiled invisible. Holy smoke trickles up through the cracked glass beckoning thy kingdom down. Bleeding hands stretch up through the cracks in want of the shield and the white stones of peace.

The dim glass clouds the seer as he struggles to discern what his heart sees. Invisible leaks light to visible as the convergence of kingdoms bleed out the line that marks borderland.

In communion of shields we ready for war and with faith cupped hands we release the white pebbles of peace at borderland.

“He grants peace to your borders and satisfies you with the finest of wheat.” Psalm 47:14

Borderland – land located on or near a frontier or boundary, an indeterminate region
Kingdom Borderland – the spiritual frontier located between the visible and the invisible

The Song of Deborah

When leaders lead in Israel,
When the people willingly offer themselves,
Bless the Lord!
deborah
Hear O kings. Give ear, O princes.
I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
For 1 Chronicles 12:32 says,
“And of the sons of Issachar, were men who had understanding of the times.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah”
