Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding...

In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Prov 3:5-6 NIV)

Lord, I thought I was walking a straight path, but then I realised it was just the path of least resistance. Help me to walk on your path.

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (Ps 119:105 NIV)

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. (Lam 3:22 NIV)

Protestant theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer was one of the few to resist the racist actions of the Nazi regime. He was arrested in 1943.

He wrote in the Gestapo cellars in Berlin, that, a few weeks before being executed, his final poem quoted here:

This poem is widely known in the Christian world because of its having been adapted into a hymn...

It was translated into a variety of languages. It included in church hymnals throughout the world.

Written “in the more severe surroundings of the Gestapo prison, where he was subjected to intense interrogation”

Here Bonhoeffer expressed his trust in the sovereign God who gives strength and endurance and hope in a dark world.

There were “powers for good” that surrounded Bonhoeffer “even during the dire days of imprisonment”

The poem and biographical comments are from bonhoefferblog.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/mor…
