Dance in Your Trials--By Charlene McCutcheon--United States

Dance in Your Trials

Gently they fall, like dew from the heavens,
Words of great comfort to my weary soul.
Thine adversity shall be but a small moment.
Endure it well and by angels it shall be told.

Fear not, if raging storms around you gather.
Black clouds; destruction seems to threaten.
Take courage child, the Lord is ever with you,
Ordering all things for your good from heav'n.

Rejoice in 'angels' that are always beckoning;
Good thoughts are sent from heaven above,
To strengthen, guide you back home to Him,
Just focus on 'angels'. Obey His offered love.

Pray, thanking Him even in all your adversity.
Dance in trials; He uses them for His purpose.
Yes! Glory in tribulation. It works patience;
Patience, experience and more hope in Jesus.

  3. Thank you, Christine Tate, for the following comment--

    Wonderful wisdom in your poem, and I love the title. I've learned to dance in adversity, enduring by His grace, and in God's timing He turns things around working them out for our good. The Lord has taught me to leap over obstacles & hurdles instead of tripping over them. Thanks for a great, well written piece!
