There Are Days When
There are days* when… I need God’s favor so badly
Due to frustrations attacking tremendously.
I thank Him for His sure presence marvelously
Engulfing me with His constant love supremely!
There are days when…I lose my joy of salvation
Caused by selfishness, disobedience, deception.
Then I recall Christ’s great work for my redemption
Cheering me up toward peace-filled jubilation!
There are days when…I struggle with discontentment
And I crave for God’s wondrous replenishment.
He then supplies me spiritual empowerment
With His instruction that cures my envy’s ailment!
There are days when…I desire for God’s revival
Being discouraged at my earthly survival.
He comforts me, granting His divine approval
With His might to prepare me for Christ’s arrival!
There are days when…I must stay long in God’s calmness
As a weary servant in His kingdom’s business.
I praise Him for His offered fellowship’s closeness
With His grace for my faithfulness thru His kindness!
*Psalm 90:12 So teach us (LORD) to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
