Blessed in an Unexpected Way
There has never been a trial, a heartbreak, or disappointment
where I wasn’t blessed in an unexpected way;
Where the God of all glory didn’t show me His greatness
and His peace at the end of the day.
When I was shaking in my shoes, at the onset of news
the Holy Spirit gave a blessing to that place;
Reassuring me God knew it all before me
and He would carry me on by His grace.
There has never been a problem that baffled my mind
where God didn’t use it to show me His power.
For He brought me to my knees, then granted me wisdom
that I needed to get through the hour.
There has never been a crisis that landed in my life
where God’s sovereignty didn’t speak to my soul.
Though the crisis may have threatened to tear me into pieces
God’s comfort would come make me whole.
There has never been a pain that has entered my life
where God didn’t teach me to rest in His care.
For God taught me “the miraculous” isn’t always instant healing
but it’s trusting by faith that He’s there.
I’ve learned not to see just the suffering or the trial
in the cup God has apportioned to me.
For God is still God…and He is certain to bless me
in ways that I can’t even see.
