Pressing

Every now and then we all need some pressing
some stressing
some pain a little rain
a little trouble to remind us it is only by His might and name
that we even remain
and I would be ashamed to say my life never has it's peaks and valleys
that I never questioned if God ever really had me
everybody needs some balance and some times you need to lose your balance
so you can realize you don't draw breath on your own supply
sickness comes and goes those we love dearly die
and we clearly are distressed as to why why me and why now
we ask all the questions we can we even wish to know how
how will deliverance come we seek an answer but God seemingly provides none
in the toughest times of your test God removes the hand that once blessed
just
to see if you would seek His heart when you can't see his hands
just to remind you that life is not always about you and your demands
God has a master plan
and sometimes He has to scratch your grandiose plans
because honestly sometimes they are just in His way and not His will
yet and still
you are pressed pushed primed and made able to take the twists and turns of life
stronger with every tear you cry
stronger with every prayer prayed no longer are you in haste but now you are willing to wait
because you know God can and will make His way
in His own eternal time not your own human estimations
trials come to grow your patience thru tribulation
so do not despair when God chooses to begin pressing
He's just trying to extract what makes you precious (tm)
