MEET LIFE'S TRIALS
WITH SMILES
by HELEN STEINER RICE
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN LIFE OVERWHELMS US
AND OUR TRIALS SEEM TOO MANY TO BEAR,
IT IS THEN WE SHOULD STOP TO REMEMBER
GOD IS STANDING BY READY TO SHARE
THE CERTAIN HOURS THAT CONFRONT US
AND FILL US WITH FEAR AND DESPAIR
FOR GOD IN HIS GOODNESS HAS PROMISED
THAT THE CROSS HE GIVES US TO WEAR
WILL NEVER EXCEED OUR ENDURANCE
OR BE MORE THAN OUR STRENGTH CAN BEAR...
AND SECURE IN THAT BLESSED ASSURANCE
WE CAN SMILE AS WE FACE TOMORROW
FOR GOD HOLDS THE KEY TO THE FUTURE
AND NO SORROW OR CARE NEED WE BORROW!
ALL GOES WELL FOR THE PERSON WHO IS
GENEROUS AND LENDS WILLINGLY.
HE EARNS AN HONEST LIVING.
PSALM 112:5
GOD'S WORD
TRUST IN THE LORD, AND DO GOOD;
SO YOU WILL LIVE IN THE LAND,
AND ENJOY SECURITY.
PSALM 37:3
NRSV
YOU DESERVE HONESTY FROM THE HEART;
YES, UTTER SINCERITY AND TRUTHFULNESS,
OH, GIVE ME THIS WISDOM.
PSALM 51:6
TLB
MY HOPE IS IN YOU,
SO MAY GOODNESS AND
HONESTY GUARD ME.
PSALM 25:21
NCV
LOOK AT AT THOSE WHO ARE HONEST AND GOOD,
FOR A WONDERFUL FUTURE LIES BEFORE THOSE
WHO LOVE PEACE.
PSALM 37:37
NLT
