Below is something I wrote awhile ago, but it still holds meaning to me today. I wrote it at a time that I was questioning God - I didn’t know why He was allowing certain things to happen. He reminded me that instead of focusing on what I don’t understand, I need to focus on what I know to be true. So, I opened up my Bible and these verses resonated with me - Isaiah 41:10, Isaiah 43:2, Isaiah 46:4, Isaiah 49:16, Isaiah 55:9, Psalm 33:4, Psalm 46:1, John 1:5, and Romans 8:28. They inspired the following words…. Another day goes by And I’m left wondering why Things are happening the way that they are Sometimes life can be so hard Brokenness surrounds me And I’m finding it hard to believe That you can bring good out of this How can it be But this I know - you’re always faithful And this I know - your word is true And this I know - you’re always loving This I know - you’re my refuge We all have our scars Some can be seen from afar Some are hidden from view But healing can come through you You’ve engraved me on the palm of your hands On your promises I will stand Your ways are higher than mine Through the darkness your light will shine You will carry me, when I can’t see You will rescue me, when the water is deep You will sustain me, when I feel weak This I know - you’re always faithful And this I know - your word is true And this I know - you’re always loving This I know - you’re my refuge And I will trust in you
