Victorious Suffering
Set our mind, on things above
Tho’ still suffering, not healed
Be not focused, on our feelings
Walk by faith, in our ordeal.
Chronic Suffering and Pain
So, while we may not be healed
Nor from suffering, delivered
But instead of dejection
We can rejoice, not be embittered.
What Bugs You?
Yes, those bugs and frustrations
God allows, each our way
Are to get our attention
Cause us turn, and obey.
Ever, Give Thanks
We’re made to give thanks
Praise God’s Holy Name
Yes, whatever our lot
Be grateful, all the same.
Lessons from Iran
With a focus on obeying
God’s truths, they go share
More multiplying disciples
Prayerfully go, everywhere.
Joy amidst Trials
Do count it all joy
When trials fall your way
For the testing of faith
Builds patience, each day.
A Key to Suffering
For our focus is body
But God speaks to the soul
Our faith, His redemption
These make a man whole.
Trials- a Blessing or Curse?
For our Father, the vine-dresser
Is pruning, discarding
As branches, of His vine
For more fruit…keep abiding.
Tools God Uses
And so, despite facing testing
Know ‘tis but for a while
In the end, greater glory
So greet with joy, every trial.
God’s School of Suffering
His grace, always sufficient
His power, perfected in weakness
By faith, we’re made strong
In Christ Jesus, completeness.
