The promise and the present

Hi, I hope this encourages you and brings you to a place of faith and confidence  in the goodness of God.

Have you often stood,
Looking at life but not pleasantly
Looking ahead
But seeing so little in hope??

Is this it seemingly the one question on your heart?
Are you still holding on
Or long gone is any trace of hope
Does the promise still bring a smile to your face?
Or is the bitterness of the present too bitter a pill for you to swallow?

Look up my friend
And to the throne of God set your gaze
He cannot fail nor will He
Neither does the scale of your problem impress Him
He is infinite wisdom and capability
And there is nothing He cannot do.

In the cross of Christ;
He has given you assurance that He loves you
For His very best He did not withhold,
But for your sake He gave him up
Not to a pleasant earthly life
But to the most cruel of deaths:
Hanging naked on a tree
All just for you and me
How much more shall He not make good on His word?
You are his delight-and in your prosperity he takes delight?

What more could the present be
Than a temporary disagreement
With a truth eternal
Which if believed, will never let down??
