Joy amidst Trials

Do count it all joy
When trials fall your way
For the testing of faith
Builds patience, each day.

Yes, His righteousness revealed
From faith to faith
As Habakkuk wrote
“The just shall live by faith”.

And while God offers good
Temptation brings evil
Understanding our choice
Be His righteous people.

Therefore, welcome your trials
Your waiting, and suffering
Since God is perfecting
Become His fragrant offering.

So, our God allows trials
That our faith be tenacious
Great faith, be made complete
To be perfected, need patience.

Satan came before God
In heaven to accuse
Not to worship, nor praise
But Job, to misuse.

Does God have a purpose
In suffering and pain
Sorrow and sickness
Can He turn to gain?

As His sacrifice, living
Must be holy, and pure
For we dare not present
If defiled, and impure.

We pray, a great harvest
Throughout Libya, it’s people
Muslims embracing Christ
Turned from darkness and evil.

Make streams in the desert
Turn the hearts of these people
To seek for you LORD
Turn to Jesus, from evil.
