We Have Peace

We focus where we need to be, not on present trouble, but Eternity,
Trouble like waves, disturbs calm, but, we’re in His awesome palm,
Through the troubling times ahead, we won’t fill with fear and dread,
When we focus on Truths we know, as this life’s trials come and go.

We can’t fall out of God’s Hand, no matter what comes on the land,
In His Hand we’re safe and sound, even though trials mount around,
The waves of trials may not cease, but in the Lord we get our peace,
Guided safely through all harms, protected by His Everlasting Arms.

We come to God loaded with care, when troubles in life seem unfair,
And when we come to Him for rest, He does for our life what is best.
Only in Jesus Christ, our Lord, can Believers here, rest fully assured,
When trials in this life do come, no matter why or where they’re from.

Our future is not upon this earth, but, one from God of special worth,
A future not built on political might, but, one which is Eternally bright,
An Eternal Kingdom sure to come, installed and ruled by God’s Son,
That shall surpass all that we see, extending over all through Eternity.

This is the reason we have peace, when dark times on earth increase,
The Hope in Christ calms our fears, as worldly trials around us nears.
I have but one question for you, no matter what you’re going through,
Do you have peace in God’s Son, and will you reign in His Kingdom?

(Copyright ©10/2008 Bob Gotti)

He's coming very soon, the signs are very clear,
And when that trumpet sounds, we’ll be otta here!
Waiting in Him with Great Expectation,  Bob Gott

Dear Bob.

Your poetry is so well composed it makes me
envious.

Life's rough spots and mountains are reduced when we keep our eyes on following Christ to our Father in heaven.  You've made it so clear in your poem.  Peter walked on water toward Christ until he considered the threat of the churning waves.  Then he sunk.  As Jesus saved him, He said Peter was a man of little faith.  It's our faith in Him that keeps us going and accoomplishing.

God bless,
Rae
