No Secret Destination

Monday’s Devotion

No Secret Destination

Today’s devotion is a poem based on Job 30:23—“For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.”

Along this road that walks into a million different ways;
A hundred thousand moments pass, in every single day.
But there’s no way of postponing, the appointment has been made.
There’s no secret destination, as we end the masquerade.

Far past midnight in the darkness, glowing moonbeams point the way;
Through the never ending shadows, which be turned into the day.
While the mantle clock is pounding, in a voice as if to say,
There’s no secret destination, waiting not too far away.

On the faces in the cities, fear is written very plain;
People running from each other, to their privacy of pain.
And though everyone is shouting, still their meaning is not clear
While no secret destination, is forever drawing near.

With this same thought always waiting, somewhere underneath our smile
We continue through the hours, ever constantly on trial.
And for everybody knowing, that the verdict is their own.
There’s no secret destination, we must each face all alone.

We all have a destination and it is no secret what it is: “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” —Hebrews 9:27
