From Whispers of God Facebook Post Today:
"Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow." (James 4:14)
When news comes unexpectedly
A dream long-planned, dissolved
Sadness' spiny fingers close
Around my heart--tears fall
Emotions rising over
Faith trying to make its stand
Questions scream--whys demand
"Where was heaven's hand?"
I speak the words I know are true
"God is good, He's in control"
But as they escape my lips
Loss still tears across my soul
I cry out, "Father! Why?
How could You hurt me so?
Do You not understand
How deeply this pain goes?"
But before His answer whispers
Calvary's cross comes into mind
And suddenly I realize
My cries have been unkind
For that one act of love was proof
Of my value in God's eyes
His "nos" are still His words of love
Meant to make me wise
Let me not give myself to things
Count them for me to use
But lay all things at Jesus' feet
Keep or cast away--You choose
Let me champion Your Sovereignty
Each time there comes a test
Then I will know I'm resting in
Whatever You've decided best
