The Lord is Here!

The Lord is Here
Exodus 33:14


We make ourselves anxious of what the future will soon be.
We think not upon the truth but that which we cannot see.
Our minds are distracted and entangled in misery
Because we focus not on the promises of Scripture but fear only possibilities.

Trusting this world to lend a helping hand has always led us to despair
With confidence blinding the eyes of discernment showing only thin air.
Tears of distress flow down a solemn face presenting a spirit of little care
Trying to find a ray of hope, all too often forgetting the Lord is here.

Struggles persist as we hunt for an answer to satisfy our selfish desires,
One that will bring a spark to the eyes, put a smile on the face and show the blue skies.
Lo, comfort remains all but within reach as into the abyss we peer,
Seeing only the storms that continue in life and everyday forgetting the Lord is here.

Could it be in spite of the trials we face our God would have a plan?
Whether our trouble is for a time or designed to dwell with us till the day we die
Much will never be answered nor amended because of what we hold so dear.
We must endure our errors as we keep forgetting our faithful Lord is here.

May we recognize during times of tribulation as the impossible seems to overwhelm us
The hardships we encounter and the trials we face exist to show God’s power.
As a power far greater than our own it is stronger than all of our fears.
That everlasting power is greatly neglected as we take for granted our awesome Lord is here.

My friend, may we persevere by the Spirit within as trials are bestowed upon us.
Don’t walk out on Him Who came to live within but yield, claiming victory through Christ.
So, let us forget not while facing trials God’s grace will always provide.
Never failing but guiding step by step He’ll remain forever by our side.

Serving always the King of kings,
Marcus Twisdale
