The Lord's Teaching Bread -Isaiah 30: 20

In our times of real adversity
when our life's are so afflicted
the Lord is speaking to teach
so to His word we'd be addicted

We need to see through God's eyes
for He's in our life's in it all
God afflicts us for a purpose
so to fulfil His will and call

God assures us of being taught
making sure our teacher we would hear
pointing us in the correct way
having God's presence especially near

Our eyes will see our teacher
this instructer will not be hid
we have God's assurance of this
so we can be sure this is no kid

Trust fully upon your God
no matter our affliction
He will keep us true
through to receiving complete salvation

'And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction,
 yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes 
shall see thy teachers'.  Isaiah 30:20 (KJV)
