His ways are Perfect

-Psalm 18: 30-32-

We live in the shadowlands,
Making up reason or rhyme;
Though aloof to the truth
Most the time.

Pressure and pain
Always have an explanation.
Life and Love
Always need validation.

Stressed and depressed
From no control or understanding.
We play amateur providence,
Waiting for Gods blessings.

We serve a God
Who's ways are not our own;
In fact, they are perfect
And to this we still moan.

He is a good God,
Faithful to the end.
How can it be
all we ask is not had then.

His ways are still perfect,
His plans still sure.
He knows our needs
And what we need to endure.

Joseph was falsely accused
Spending 13 years in prison.
Ruth was gleaning for her food
After losing her husband.

Innocent, faithful,
But their lives appeared lost;
Until Joseph was esteemed,
And Ruth redeemed into the lineage of Christ.

His ways are perfect!
Even when we can't understand.
Our life is to Love,
And trust the One with the master plan.

When unsure of the future
Weak, tired, out of control;
Its Gods Love that holds us
And makes all things whole.
