Why Does God Allow? Psalm 10

Why do You stand
Afar off, O LORD?
Why do You hide
Amidst troubles, outpoured?

‘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.

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

We may face many storms
Struggling and battling
So tempted to question
Lord, why is this happening?

As we worship our King
No distractions, nor despair
No trials, nor temptations
All perfect splendor, forever there.

Have you learnt to give thanks
Though adversities grow
Can you trust in the Lord
When no answers show?

For He knows your way
And when He has tested
You shall come forth as gold
In Him ….you’re so blessed.

And so count it all joy
Tho’ He prunes, ’tis worthwhile
Bear more fruit, of God’s Spirit
Do give thanks, for each trial.

Not to wallow in self
But instead, be God’s letter
A testimony of grace
Grow not bitter, but better.
