Overcoming Adversity
Have you learnt to give thanks
Though adversities grow
Can you trust, the Lord God
When no answers show?
Not Knowing Why
We may face many storms
Struggling and battling
So tempted to question
Lord, why is this happening?
Lessons from Job
Will we worship God
No matter the cost
Always honor the LORD
Whatever the loss?
Lay All on the Altar
Offer all, at His altar
Our bodies, He purchased
As living sacrifices, holy
Well pleasing… our service.
It Sometimes Gets Harder!
For the less we can do
The more we must trust
See more of God’s power
Unto Him, all entrust.
God’s Waiting Room
So, let us learn from waiting
God’s timing is right
Ever trust God, persevere
And ask Him for light.
God Tries Us
For our faith, pleases God
As we trust Him and wait
Without grumbling, complaining
But giving thanks, for our fate.
Fearing God for Gain?
So, Satan asked God
“Does Job fear You, for nothing
Is His worship sincere
Or does he want something?”
Facing Temptation
The world, thro’ its culture
The flesh, and our feelings
The devil’s deceptions
Temptations, so appealing.
Facing Hardships
He uses all, for our good
Perfecting within
As He purges the dross
All that selfishness, sin.
