When trials come no longer fear
For in the pain our God draws near
To fire a faith worth more than gold
And there His faithfulness is told
And there His faithfulness is told
Within the night I know Your peace
The breath of God brings strength to me
And new each morning mercy flows
As treasures of the darkness grow
As treasures of the darkness grow
I turn to Wisdom not my own
For every battle You have known
My confidence will rest in You
Your love endures Your ways are good
Your love endures Your ways are good
When I am weary with the cost
I see the triumph of the cross
So in it's shadow I shall run
Till You complete the work begun
Till You complete the work begun
One day all things will be made new
I'll see the hope You called me to
And in your kingdom paved with gold
I'll praise your faithfulness of old
I'll praise your faithfulness of old
That first line of the 3rd verse resonates. When I am weary with the cost. Have you ever been weary with the cost of following Christ? When the pain and burdens seem too heavy to bear? When all is dark and you are clinging-clinging, but not seeing?
Run in the shadow of the cross. Remember the depths of Christ's crucifixion. Remember the triumph. He has conquered sin, death, and hell. And remember, we are only in the middle of our story. God has promised to complete the work He has begun. He will be faithful.
Be encouraged today, friends! His love endures, His ways ARE good!
