“Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” (James 1:2-3)
Reckon, consider, count! It is so, therefore, calculate assuming it is so. It will cause a conversion in your heart through testing and an endurance in your walk before God.
When the unexpected jolts your day Every interaction your nerves fray Responsibility overwhelms Look up and prayWhen fears of failure on you descend Every impulse is yourself defend Anxiety all thoughts penetrate On God depend
When short cuts and schemes call out and say Everyone does it come on and play Temptation so relentlessly flirts Christ is the way
When hard to hear for accusers’ din Every skeptic’s word makes your head spin Satan with ferocity attacks The Lord will win
When joy breaks out in conflict and mess Every problem brings peace nonetheless Difficulty turns to means of good Jesus did bless
Great message and rhyme. The following lines say it all: Look up and pray, on God depend. Christ is the way, the Lord will win! And, Jesus did bless! Yes!
Blessings, brother!
Yes, and we most realize that through the difficulty.
In times like these-“look up and pray”. So right on. Thanks
Most certainly, JD
