This I Know...

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
