God Knows ...

No matter who or where we areno matter what the circumstance, and why,God knows... Isa.26:3You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You. What lies ahead we cannot seeBetween vistas of retrospectAnd the unknown, by faith go weEnough to know God will direct... The recompense of joy, still veiledWhere mercy overflowsThe grace that love has never failedFor humankind, God knows The care that kindles earnest prayerThe Want desire foregoesLest in its gain, it sets a snareFor fellowman, God knows The darling of Thought’s hopes and dreamsThe hunger of the soulThe example Ideal esteemsThe motive and the goal The altar and the sacrificeThe Voice/voice that choice obeysThe reasoning behind the priceLove, or lack thereof pays The things we can and cannot changeThat bear blessing or curseThe secrets that we rearrangeFor better or for worse The battle cries that faith enduresIdols, faith overthrowsThe pardon salvation securesThrough Christ alone, God knows The needs only He satisfiesTo comfort creature woesAnd carry us toward faith's PrizeAfter faith's fight, God knows Enough, enough, the soul-dier criesAnd turns to face faith's foesEnough to know that God suppliesEnough to know, God knows © Janet Martin 2 Tim.1:12For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. 2 Tim.2:19Nevertheless, God’s firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”
