Resilience

Resilience is the strength to endure, 

To persevere when life's storms obscure, 

And in the Bible, we find the cure, 

The hope and faith that makes us sure.

 

Moses, with his people, faced the sea, 

With Pharaoh's army fast in pursuit, 

But through God's power, they were set free, 

And safely passed to the other side of dispute.

 

Job, who lost all his wealth and kin, 

Still praised God, and did not give in, 

For he knew that his Redeemer lived, 

And in His love, he could still thrive.

 

David, a man after God's own heart, 

Faced many battles, both fierce and smart, 

But he trusted in the Lord's might, 

And overcame his enemies with light.

 

Paul, who suffered for the gospel's sake, 

Was beaten, jailed, and left to quake, 

But he rejoiced in his affliction, 

Knowing that it served a higher mission.

 

Resilience is not just about being tough, 

It's about faith, hope, and love that's enough, 

To trust in God, who's faithful and true, 

And to cling to His promises anew.

 

For He's the rock that we can lean on, 

The strength that helps us to carry on, 

And with Him, we can face any trial, 

With resilience that never goes viral.
