Defeat could not hold them down,
Countless failings could not keep
them from hanging on,
Hope swept through their souls each
day
Faith kept them plodding away,
“Wasteful cause, as your labor has
so far been in vain.” people often taunted them.
“If the vision is His, the
timing is His too, we need to just hold on and wait,” they would explain.
Life‘s troubles and pains kept
them constantly on their toes,
They had no other choice but to
cling to Adonai for all their woes,
Adonis answered them as he promised,
For Adonis says, “I will
spread shalom (Isaiah
66:12) CJB
Over her like a
river,
And the wealth of
nations
Like a flooding
stream;
You will nurse and
be carried in her arm
And cuddled in her
lap.
Like someone comforted by his mother,
I will comfort you;
Sure enough, His abundance poured
down on them.
Flooding their hearts with untold
joy and thanksgiving.
They brought out their drums and
tambourines,
And danced and danced and sang praises to His name!!
