In Troubled Times

Political and health epidemics
Are the topic of the news
It seems each day they intensify
Authorities all have different views

Normal carefree days are gone
There's tension and unrest
Solutions, often are hard to find
It's difficult to know what is best

Actually, troubles are not new
The Bible records, in the book of Job
Verse fourteen; one and two - -
Only a few days, is mankind's abode

Jesus was aware of worldly troubles
He often used them to exemplify
Parables He gave to multitudes
That His message would be glorified

Psalm twenty-three; verse four,
Gives credence to the fact
That in the midst of trouble
God's grace can have impact

There is light at the end of the tunnel
There is peace at journeys end
The One that hangs the stars at night
Will be closer than your dearest friend

So let us stay focused on His promise
In the midst of dismay and gloom
At the end of the trail, there is victory
Remember, - - He arose from the tomb
