Father Knows Best

I wrote the following poem about six or seven years ago. When the testing and trials season comes, I just have to remember that:

Father Knows Best

Father knows best,
This is just a test.
I will take a stand,
Against the enemy's hand.
For now I am in my Father's arms,
Where the enemy can do no harm.
Now I can rest,
'Cause Father knows best.
Oh Lord-You have protected me,
And provided my every need.
Oh No! How can this be?
The enemy is after my seed!
I must have gone astray,
Oh Lord, show me the way.
This is just a test,
Father knows best.
Oh how my faith has endured,
And my salvation is secured.
Now I have passed this test,
Father knows best!

Wow Shonda! Thanks for sharing that. God does know best in ALL situations. We just need to rest in His care. I'm speaking to myself as well here! When you get a chance, read Proverbs 2:1-11. It speaks some powerful and encouraging words!!!
