Is your faith found resting while in the testing?

Monday Message
Most of us, if not all of us, have had seasons where life just felt like it was happening too hard with too many unknowns. What if we were to look at these seasons as refining and purifying? Would we gain a different perspective, perhaps one on the wings of an eagle? Or do we slither on the ground like a scary critter? Without sorrow, how would we know joy? Without sickness and suffering, how would we appreciate health?
 
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice & Trench Classes United.
 
The eagle
and the snake
 
The give
and the take
 
Holding together my bones
The sinews of my flesh
Leaving me in unrest
This feeling of emptiness
 
and I beg
Lord, fill this void
Let my purpose be employed
 
I have nothing to show
Nothing to give
 
Can there be joy in sorrow
Some strength I may borrow
 
Or must I be weak
Mild and meek
To overcome this mind disease
 
A slow burn
The furnace turned all the way up
Until I can no longer take it
I can no longer run
 
The heat is rising
It’s all too much
 
Yet, I stand firm
Because my soul still yearns
To know what is on the other side
Of this slow, steady burn
 
So like a snake I’ll slither low
Crawling on my belly
Until He tells me to go
 
To rise up
and take flight
 
Soaring on the wings of eagles
By all His power
By all His might
 
I must have faith now
That all will be alright
 
If I can just make it
Through one more
Long, lonesome night
 
“But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” - Isaiah 40:31
