Hide and Seek




Hide and Seek        by Clara Mitchell 3/22/2024



I must put away childish things.

God is right.


There are exceptions.

Our inner child at times makes an appearance.


Depending on our stage in life,

It opens the stage for an unexpected scene.


A scene where the actor changes the script.

This type of behavior is not well received by directors.


God often plays hide and seek when He tests us.

We seek Him early,

We seek to find Him--

Usually hidden in a new revelation.


It is both playful and mysterious.

The seeking is hard work.

The hiding places of God

Are sometimes a mystery to find.

I know I am hidden in Christ.


God seeks after me.

He calls me to follow Him.

He knows my whereabouts

Even in the night seasons.


I cannot avoid His searchlight.

He shines the light on me.

I cannot escape His commands.

He knows all my hiding places.


I hide in modern day caves.

I surrender to His arrest.

God is looking for me.

The great Shepherd is seeking me.

He finds me far from the fold of sheep.


I wander like the song lyrics tell.

I am found by His love.

In life stages

Our hiding places change.

No matter where we hide,

God knows where to find us.



It may not seem fair

when it is our turn to find God.

He shows up in obscure places.

Seeking God leads us into

The unfamiliar for many days,

Months and even years.


Finally, when we find Him.

We rejoice that the search is done.

Now it is my turn to hide.

God gives me time to refresh.

I rest.

But it is not long before He

Calls me to come find Him.


Another session with God

Seeking to find Him and open

Up the scriptures.

The silence is broken

God pours out His spirit

Revelation is my reward.

God reveals more of His divine deity.


Now I go back to my desk

And lay my head down and count to 20.

God removes His presence

But leads me on into my next steps.


Hide and Seek goes on and on

No matter what age we are going through.

The learning curve is held by God.

The rewards await us in Heaven.

In Heaven we will have no need

For Hide and Seek.

  by Clara Mitchell   To be or not to be? Hamlet's question is still and remains very interesting. What if God had asked the same question at the start of creation? Instead of Light be, what if He had asked Light be or not to be? God was teaching us as our creator from the get go. Words can create what we cannot see. Words when spoken create an energy around us. The energy takes shape to form our world. Our faith in God's Word is activated as we decree it. Faith builds on scriptures and it is a substance. In today's language it is a controlled substance. Faith is in God's control and we wait for His Word to activate. God aligns us to His will for His glory. His plan is always higher than our own. Seeking God requires anyone one of us to believe. Without faith, we cannot please God. But with faith many rewards are given by God To those who diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

Winds of Change Continue

Winds of Change Continue         by Clara Mitchell 4/21/2024 Am I losing my touch? I mean, am I out of touch? My mood moves like a child's swing, What is pushing me to go higher? Is it God or is it me, Or is it both? My life is going in many new directions. It is because of the winds of change set over me. The winds will die down soon- As soon as the changes take hold of me. Until that time, I am looking down from a whirlwind. What changes will God arrange That cause such mighty winds to blow? Is there a way to know my next? I am held in suspense by a spiritual whirlwind. The Holy Spirit calls me to deeper faith. I am no longer looking down from this whirlwind. When I grow in faith, I cannot remain the same. Over time, other winds of change Will remove more doubt and unbelief. Faith lifts me higher. Now I can move mountains. The Holy Spirit is my guide into all truth. (John 16:13) He sends the winds of change at the right time.

Content Creators and More

  Content Creators The writers and poets, Creators of content and more, Face every morning as if A new idea will appear out of nowhere. Wishful thinking my friend. Ideas are content makers. My content calendar is spotty. I have a morning routine. After my routine, I am fast at work creating A new poem for my calendar. The creation process is in stages An inkwell hides from the pen. The writer or poet mistakes the spotty calendars as empty days. What often appears blank or invisible Is necessary to complete the thought process. The ideas all come together. Each idea embeds like a player Inside my mind until all the ideas orchestrate a symphony of sounds. The sounds of each creation Plays out until the time Comes for more calendar content. My calendar is like a talent scout. Needs summon talent. Who needs my talent? What ideas and inkwells are still hiding? The writers are content creators. I see my poetic pen move by God's Spirit.
