THE WAY TRUTH & LIFE

~ Trials Into Triumphs ~

by Colan L. Hiatt

 

A Often in this turbulent world

Harsh trials seem to dominate

Instead of love and compassion

There is often bitterness and hate

 

Disappointments bring us to our knees

When we try to do that which is right

Then we cry out to God, - - "Why"

Have I failed to walk in the light ?

 

But when we consider experiences

Of great Bible characters of yesteryear

It was when they were faced with trials

That God delivered them from their fear

 

Consider Abraham and his son

Consider Jonah's plight at sea

Consider Daniel in the lions den

Consider that Paul in jail, was set free

Triumph, usually is the product

Of adverse and unwelcome trials

​

That God "uses", painful circumstances

To buoy us "through", treacherous miles

So, - may He help us, to not grow weary

When these conditions come our way

Trials can be turned into triumphs

Victory awaits, - at end of day!
