Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.

I love this poem and it reminds me of this wise saying..
ReplyDeleteHaving the answers is not essential to living.
What is essential is the sense of God's presence
during dark seasons of questioning.
When you persevere through a trial, God gives you a special measure of insight.
Ahh, having the questions is always better than having the answers.
