ADD TO MY FAVORITES
To believe without the sight to see whatever lies ahead
To have a conversation though there are no spoken words
When nods from God are recognized--doubts dissolve, we’re reassured
I once felt a special peace that soothed my weary soul
It came while surrendering, granting God all control
Another time in anger, as my faith was wearing thin
Confused, betrayed, on my knees--I begged for answers yet again
When circumstances linger, the kind we humans hate
Sickness, loss and failures may cause us to debate
Where’s the God who says he’s taking care of me
Is life just a roll of dice that determines destiny
We don’t often understand the wounds that make us bleed
It’s faith that gives hope and offers strength needed to proceed
We mustn’t let the devil ever get the upper hand
Who gambles tirelessly that souls won’t heed Love’s commands
Should you ever question why this world is such a mess
It started in a garden with the tempter’s evilness
Thus sin is our inheritance, but don’t forget our prize
If we but keep our faith in God, each promise we’ll realize
Hebrews 12:15 (NLT) …Watch out that no bitter root of unbelief rises up among you, for whenever it springs up, many are corrupted by its poison.
Author’s note: Hebrews, chapter eleven, is filled with many good examples of faith.
