All My Trials

 

Have you ever had a piece of fruit that looked so good to eat, and when you bit into it, it was indeed so juicy and succulent that the juice ran down your chin as you grinned and savored the taste? Well, that is what happened to me as I walked through my Bible this Sunday morning in Proverbs, chapter 26, because I came upon a verse that bounced around and resonated within my soul. That verse, just like the above-mentioned piece of fruit, did not disappoint because the chin of my soul, dripping with the remembered fruit of rescue, sang with recalled joy as I thought about all of the times that GOD had come to my aid and brought me through.

When I read the verse cited below, a song that I had heard a couple of days ago rang through my heart, and I listened to that song as I wrote my blog this morning. The song is "All My Trials" by Rhynette Chatman that you can find on YouTube. It will bless your soul this morning because it will remind you to "Look to the hills from whence cometh your help." (Psalm 121:1, KJV)

Proverbs 29:6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

⁶ By transgression an evil man is ensnared,
But the righteous sings and rejoices.

Have you ever been so down

Until you heard the words of some song

That led you to GOD's throne

And the melody of the songs made

Old trouble leave you alone?

Have you ever felt like skipping after a prayer

Because you got up just knowing that

HEAVEN was listening while you knelt there?

And have you ever been able to take that song

And sail through your week in spite of

Stepping over, and dodging the envy-ladened wrongs

Hurled from folks whose only source of joy

Seemed to be the inflicting of pain ad misery

On you as they stood back and watched for, with glee,

Any sign that their vicious barbs and deeds

Struck you in your heart and knocked you to your knees?

Oh, but what they didn't realize was that they

Had driven you back to your POWER SOURCE

WHO is GOD in Heaven, an unbeatable FORCE!

And that you got up armed with prayerful assurance

As you continued on your way while displaying

Renewed joyful endurance

All because of the way GOD had built your frame

To get renewed joy and hope when you

Sang praises and called upon HIS name!©

I hope that this blog blessed you this morning and that you remember to give GOD praise and pray as you continue to work for HIM. Give HIM all of your trials; HE likes that. Sing HIS songs. Be safe, Y'all
