Joy despite difficulties Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

What Bugs You?

Yes, those bugs and frustrations
God allows, each our way
Are to get our attention
Cause us turn, and obey.

We’re made to give thanks
Praise God’s Holy Name
Yes, whatever our lot
Be grateful, all the same.

With a focus on obeying
God’s truths, they go share
More multiplying disciples
Prayerfully go, everywhere.

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

For our focus is body
But God speaks to the soul
Our faith, His redemption
These make a man whole.

For our Father, the vine-dresser
Is pruning, discarding
As branches, of His vine
For more fruit…keep abiding.

And so, despite facing testing
Know ‘tis but for a while
In the end, greater glory
So greet with joy, every trial.

His grace, always sufficient
His power, perfected in weakness
By faith, we’re made strong
In Christ Jesus, completeness.

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

Amidst seasons of peace
Or fierce persecution
Will God be your joy
Only hope, and solution?
