Trials and Tribulations of Life

The beautiful blessings that fill this life,
That disguises as tribulations and strife;
Knowing that trouble is not always bad luck,
That even causes for us to loose a buck;
Often it is God's wisdom way to shield,
From a bigger hazard that's not revealed;
He shelters me from sin unknown to me,
Lurk furtively waiting with a false decree;
That would really mislead me to go astray,
Detour me from my path and forget to pray;
Troubles help me clean the cluttered mind,
That will cause us to go spiritually blind;
It's just God's way to help remind us,
In order to discard such a mess;
So there is room for God in your thinking,
Once again that your mind can be linking;
God needs to hear from you every day,
And why He wants you to take time to pray;
Troubles are merely blessings in disguise,
Ensure that He keeps you faithful and wise.
