Quiet Before The Storm

Just as the quiet before the storm, life can take on a similar form,

In time of quietness and peace, a storm of life can be unleashed;

An interruption within one’s life, bringing also, unwelcomed strife,

Even though a trial may be brief, it can bring much pain and grief.



We hear thunder from afar, with lighting bright, as an evening star,

Striking to all, not just a spark, an immense bolt piercing the dark;

We may see a sign in our home, of a trial, which we may bemoan,

Sure enough, in a time ahead, are problems, anyone would dread.



A storm cannot be hindered by, anything below the darkened sky,

The wrath of a storm will be poured, just as ordered, by The Lord;

Even so, trials to all will come, regardless of where they are from,

Allowed into the believer’s life, by the providence of Jesus Christ.



Just as the storm rolls away, and then the darkness turns to gray,

And soon the sun is again in sight, as all that gray turns into light;

We too, can see light at the end, of our dark trial, my dear friend,

As that dark trial is lifted from us, when in Christ, we put our trust.



Trials like storms will affect all, some will be big, others are small,

But all are sent by God’s design, to mold us in this temporal time,

Fitting us for the Lord’s Kingdom, when trials will no longer come,

Time far beyond the Crystal Sea, with God in a storm free eternity.
