( I write this borne out of some recent, not too pleasant experiences, which I face and seek to overcome.)

When the devious and ungodly
Are those that are in control,
Don't look for things to be equitable
Or refreshing to the soul.

It seems that the ungodly gravitate
To gaining positions of power,
Causing many to suffer at their hand
And under their senseless scour.

Don't look to others for the Fairness
To which they are not disposed,
But seek fairness in your own dealings
By which their works will be exposed.

You don't have to fight your own battles
If you're truly on the Lord's side,
The ungodly may make their advances
But will go down in defeat, by and by.

Thus God grant me Patience to Conquer
To rise above the meanness of men,
Believing that You have "all power"
And that You'll bring all evil to an end!


 "GOD GIVES- but man must open his hand." (German Proverb)

David; I can relate to your pain and disappointment, as you know. You are in a good frame of mind about this mess. The Lord will fight the battles, just as you encouraged me when I needed that encouragement, so I will pray that you will be victorious in this situation, with Jesus as your Victor!  Love, Ellie< !signature-->

David, I can only pray that when I'm in such a situation (as I seem to be often), I will remember this beautiful poem.  So many truths..... Bonnie

David, Bless you Brother. What comes to mind here,When the Lord is for us, who can stand against us. Just keep the faith, as always, not knowing what trials we conquer today, the victories are on the horizon.Blessing, marcy

David,
I think we can all relate to this poem at some time. Praise God we have the Lord on our side at these times. He knows and sees all that is done, especially to his faithful. "Lo Iam with you always, even to the ends of the earth" Take care!!
