My Knight and I

Humbled yet content, my Knight and I... though never assumed with boundaries
Can God be limited?...  He, who owns the cattle on a thousand hills.

Should we be afflicted...  my Knight and I, whatever the plight? 
knowing well our steps are ordered by the ’Kings of Kings’

Oft’ times the trial becomes weary... 
memory echoes...  “Rejoice, rejoice my beloved”, 
reminding us... ‘as we abound and are pleased, 
when we are abased, contentment must also be’

My Knight and I... ascertained as the ‘Apostle Paul’... 
in whatever direction our path may lead... 
adjustments made... we are content.

Invaluable lesson bestowed upon My Knight and I....
When the hard times come for others, 
We have learned how to direct prayers effectively...
  
Not always that ‘abundance will flow’... but that ‘Joy will come with gratification’ 
during ‘this fiery trial’
