TEMPTATIONS AND TRIALS
(James)
Temptations and
trials may plague you,
But consider it a
pleasure.
Perseverance will
result;
It will lead to
strength without measure.
Perseverance must
finish its work,
To be mature
and complete,
So you are not lacking anything,
Sometimes that is quite a feat.
Pray to God for wisdom,
When you are feeling dumb.
If you will study your Bible;
No doubt He will give you some.
But when you ask, you
must believe,
Without a shadow of a
doubt.
Or you will be like a
wave on the sea,
Blown and tossed
about.
The doubting man
gets nothing;
In all he does, he’s
unstable.
The man is
double-minded,
He treats God like
He’s not able.
But the man who
perseveres under trial,
Because he has stood
the test,
Will receive the
crown of life.
That reward should be
his quest.
Be strong when trials
come.
They change, but they
don’t subside.
Temptation and
troubles are here to stay;
Just hang on for the
ride.
