Remaining faithful to God Archives - Page 2 of 4

Adversity

His purpose is cleansing
Like gold refined pure
That our lives, should reflect
His glory, yet more.

So our suffering and pain
Become stepping stones
Believe God has His purpose
To draw nearer, to His own.

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.

In Jesus’ suffering, God’s path
To bless fallen man
In His cross, our daily dying
God has shown us, His plan.

‘In Me, you have peace’
Spoke Jesus, God’s Son
‘In the world, tribulation
Be courageous… I’ve overcome’.

When confronted by suffering
With reasons unclear
Will we choose to grow better
Or grow bitter, with fears.

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?
