God Can't Be Contained By Statistics
There are times when life catches us by surprise
by a situation unexpected and new;
Perhaps a painful diagnosis of health problems to face
or a crisis we now must walk through.
While it's easy to read up on any topic around
to see "predictions" of how things might be.
Our best research is never statistical reports
but it's prayer time spent down on our knees.
No statistic could measure the peace or the pleasure
of God's promises He holds for His own.
For it's faith through the hard times that adds up to equal
the finest wisdom that our hearts have known.
While reports may graph out what happened to others
we know our God isn't bound by the past.
He can still move uniquely in our situations
because He's timeless and always will last.
He is worthy of trust no matter the trial
for in darkness He's the clear, perfect light.
And in hard times we know Him as the Blesser who gives us
a new measure of spiritual sight.
No statistic will tell you all the answers to prayer
God will give you in the time that it took.
For God can't be contained by percentages of the past
or statistics you find in a book.
