To my RA's and SRC


A whisper comes out of the breeze
Deity camouflaged in air

“Mighty Warrior”

The coward turns, “Who said that?”

Who said that?

Someone whispered in your ear last spring
But knowing God is sovereign
There was more than one voice
“Will you lead the students next year?”

Who said that?

There are others who are more qualified.
Others who are smarter, more committed
and better suited.
But they are not here.

Moses my servant is dead – now, cross this river and take the land.
The other RA has graduated – now, take us where we have never been.

You are the one sovereignty picked to lead this year. You have a commission from God.
You may be scared, you may be unsure. But, hear the words to the coward in the wine press.

“Be strong and courageous.”
