Trials

By Anita Mondragon:
 
Years ago, I attended a church where my friends and I created a devotional book.  Here is one of the poems written in that book. I share it with you now, because of the troubled times we have been living in at present.  Take it to heart…God never goes back on His promises!
 
The LORD will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me.  -Psalm 138:8
 
 
TRIALS
 
These trials and troubles,
Don’t take them to heart;
For God has ordained you
And set you apart.
 
His purpose for you
Is more than you know…
His mercy and goodness
On YOU He’ll bestow!
 
Just rest in His arms
‘Till these trials are through…
He’ll show you His mercy
And what He can do!
 
He’s the calm in the storm.
He’s the Spotless Lamb.
He’s all that you need!
He’s the great I Am.
 
He’s the gust in the wind.
He’s the wind in the sail.
He will give you His peace…
And His peace NEVER fails!
 
He hasn’t forgotten,
Because His Word is true;
And He WILL fulfill
ALL He’s promised to you!
