Patience – Lee A Buckingham – March 26th, 2010
Waiting here, grumbling, not so patiently
wondering when an end will come to this plot of circumstance.
I breath, and sigh, to think there be
in this a willful act of providence.
I'm good inside, though wrongs I've done
still certainly no exile is warranted.
I'm dark inside, though sweet songs I've sung
I suppose, for such as I, these things are fated.
Worse yet I think that random chance is preying here upon me.
No reason into, and no purpose out, of this woeful valley of misery.
But yet, I believe, somewhat more than less,
that my Maker has, His will applied
and not left me here, myself to best
the trials, and these longings to abide.
Lord, I try to wait on You, and bide my heart
I know that by grace alone I live,
but still more grace, might You impart?
My greed and need ask relief, from You, to give.
But in Truth, being patient with You, Lord, comes more naturally
if I but remember just how patient You've always been with me.

You rejoice with unspeakable and glorious joy, because you are recieving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your soul. you rejoice in this, though now for a short time you have had to endure various trials, so that your faith -more valuable than gold, though refined by fire- may result in glory, honour, and praise at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
ReplyDelete...Therefore, get your mind ready for action, being self-disciplined, and set your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
I love you brother, and my prayers are with you and your family,
