From Proverbs 11:8:  “The righteous are delivered from trouble, and the wicked get into it instead.”

Life encountering trouble

Feeling faith shriveling up

Surrounded, total darkness

God calling, drink from My cup

Life’s trials testing our faith

Walking path filled with hardship

Shadowed by prowling darkness

God calling, He rights our ship

Life challenges fragile faith

Hungering for something more

Shrouded by empty darkness

God calling, enter My door

Life summons Abraham’s faith

Overcoming our miscues

Illuminated in light

God calling, walk in Christ’s shoes

From Isaiah 33:2:  “O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for you.  Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.”
