Gaining from our struggles,
with God beside us;
dwelling within us still,
when we turn to Him
In the fire of problems,
in the day to day trials;
we refined in the fire
to be His hands and feet
Burning away the dross,
that which is not needed;
this makes us more holy,
as we go forth in His
service

In the fire of problems – v2

In the fire of problems
passage of scripture, Romans 5:3-4 (Common English Bible)
posted to Ruth’s office door
(and not like Martin Luther’s 95 Theses
nailed to the Wittenburg church door- smile)
“But not only
that! We even take pride in our problems,
because we know that trouble produces endurance,
endurance produces character, and character produces
hope.”

earlier poem today:
---------------------
Sensing Your Presence
Liberated, at peace
even in the storms
gathering myself up
to cleave to you oh Lord
Sensing your presence
with me, affirming my words
grounding me in the love of
God
as I go about my day
Right beside me Lord
you are so good to me
reminding me of your loving
grace
bringing me close to thee
