Sometimes when things don’t go our way
It’s not that God is being mean,
It’s perhaps because there’s something better
That we simply cannot see.
When things don’t go our way
There’s a hidden blessing in disguise,
That could have probably intervened
And possibly saved our lives.
When things don’t go our way
There’s a lesson we need to learn,
Because the best things come to those who wait
When it simply is our turn.
When things don’t go our way
And there’s a perceived stumbling block,
The correct timing and the blessings
Have not simply been unlocked.
Because when the flood of blessings
Will be poured from above,
It’s when our fruit of hope and patience
And our joy is filled with love.
It may appear much too late
To start new endeavours in our lives,
But when wisdom combines with knowledge
True discernment will arrive.
God’s blessings are never early
And they’re simply not too late,
And the finest ones will be distributed
To the faithful ones who wait.
When Jesus was crucified,
It appeared things didn’t go His way,
But the most significant event it did occur
When for our souls the price He paid.
So next time we are despondent
Or wonder why it takes so long,
Let’s remember the greatest gift is our salvation
When to God the Father we belong.
“But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:3-4
“Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;” Romans 12:12
