FAITH IS…..​​​​​​​​​​
BY: Penny Mazelle Stirtmire Webster

​

A massive farce of questions                         What happened out of nowhere
Exploding in my mind,                                     Is God’s Amazing Love;
Challenging my faith in God,                           His faithfulness, a promise kept,
His rendering of time.                                      Has settled like a dove.

​

Why is this all happening?                              Teaching by example
What do these things mean?                          The patience found in Faith;
How will I get past it all?                                  To know and trust that God is there,
Is there an in-between?                                   His presence never late.

​

From storm to storm, life reals and rocks,      Now Faith is to touch what you believe
A weighted anchor chained,                            Although it can’t be seen;
Holds me inside this wretchedness,               To trust in God’s deliverance
Called life, that’s filled with pain.                     Because He said, believe.

​

To say I trust implies that I                                Faith is, to trust God’s hand to hold
Am sure and will depend                                 The weighted steps of life.
On one my natural eyes, to date,                     Faith is, believing all is well
Have never ever seen.                                      Within sights dimming light.

​

Then one day from no-where                           Faith is, to know without a doubt
I stop and realize                                              That what God says prevails.
The peacefulness of God’s sweet grace          Faith is, to trust God’s Holy Word
Engulfing what belies.                                      For God’s word never fails.
