Philippians 4:19
God Shall Supply

They need comfort – assurance that God is doing what is best
God gave the life at the beginning – maybe this is a test
Of faith, preparing them for coming times ahead
That they can face the unknown without fear or dread
But in quiet confidence and a spirit of rest that is real
They can go through experiences knowing a loving God can wound or heal
Physically and spiritually that we might better be prepared
For the ministry He gave us and all that must be shared.

We know the seed planted gets its life from God alone
And because of a new life, new expectations will come
I must also remember what God gives, He can take away
And in doing so I learn the need for grace every day
How would I know of His full supply for my grief
If it wasn’t that He allows great loss, be it ever so brief
The benefit that comes may be for others through me
That they in their confusion the value of faith will see.

God has supplied temporal needs when we were at a loss
Through His grace He supplied redemption at highest cost
He has felt pain and suffering greater than we can imagine
So that He could identify with the grief of His suffering brethren
He knows what is needed and just how, when and where
To come alongside us that our burdens He will bear
It is hard to let go and let God take full control
But when one does that, they will find rest unto their soul.

There are times when private tears come down like falling rain
And God calls us to pass through private grief and pain
But He has His reasons and calls me to draw nigh
And I will find then solace, in His bountiful supply
I may spend time wondering what might or might not have been
But it is better to look ahead in faith, trusting only Him
Who supplies every need I have on earth and in heaven
And gives the grace needed now, and will explain the reasons then.
