Your ultra-concise, deeply spiritual acrostic poem conveys a wonderful and moving message of faith in the Lord to guide the believer on the right path, for He does know the future.

Thank you for those truly, truly inspiring words. You've explored every corner of my poem in one beautiful sentence. God bless.
Comment from Tom Horonzy
Nice arrangement. Now clarify who is doing the plotting. Might have been difficult with a short acrostic poem. I believe the plotting needs to be done by us for he gave us agency to make up our own minds, no?

A very astute observation. You're right--we plot, God plans. He gives us the freedom of choice. Hopefully, our choices fit within His plan for us. What I'm asking in this poem is for God's Holy Spirit to guide me in plotting my future. I'm facing a life-changing decision, and I need His guidance. To quote my favorite devotional, Streams in the Desert, "We will be in a place where we do not know what is happening, where God is cutting the cloth of our lives by a new pattern, and thus He causes us to look to Him." In my poem, I'm looking to Him. Thank you for a most thought-provoking review. John

An added treat, as Acrostics need not rhyme! Yet you've delivered in abab, and built your poem on faith! We cannot stumble if we do not stray... Best of luck in the contest!

' The Path ', is an extremely well-written and spiritually-uplifting piece. He will certainly never break His promise. To me this is a six. Good luck with the contest. My fingers are crossed for you.

This is a very nicely done acrostic. Short and to the point, it leaves no question as to how you feel about the Lord. He will direct us and hopefully we'll follow his lead. Thank you for sharing. :)

Nice acrostic here, John. I think the brevity of the work really works for it. You have a matter-of-fact approach that speaks to the strength of your conviction. I think the paired image, too, is striking, and really helps to illustrate the work. Thank you for sharing.

Oh yes indeed John, the road ahead is like something that vanishes in the curve of the visible and the invisible, but trust sees clearly that it doesn't matter if there's someone trustworthy to guide one's feet, beautifully written good acrostic, my friend, blessings Roy
