As a child of the King,

you will sometimes

face trials far bigger

than you think you can bear.

At times, they may shock you
when you don’t see them coming,

or you think life is simply not fair.

But there is no situation,

circumstance, or crisis that wasn’t

 first seen by God on His throne.
For it was sifted through His

hands previewed by His eyes before

the details on earth could be known.

God allows the situations that come
into our lives but holds back what
He knows we can’t take.
We are left with a problem…
but we’re never left alone through
any battle or decision we make.

While it’s true at the onset, we
may not feel equipped for the
difficult, new chapter at hand.
If we reach in faith for the Father…
He’ll equip us daily for all the things
that we don’t understand.

And we have to realize
and truly believe
that the crisis was never
meant to destroy.
but rather, God allows it, to
deepen our dependence and show us
truths that will then bring us joy.

The same hands that sift out,
to allow what we’re facing
will give courage and strength to go on.
For God will bless us daily with
His sovereignty and grace, and in Him
we’re victorious and strong.
