ARROGANCE TO ACCEPTANCE

Arrogance died as Joseph applied
The mercies of God to sins of his brothers;
Is freedom denied where memory has died
To pain we have suffered through deeds of others?

Joseph now ruled where he had been schooled
To trust in God though he was in prison;
Is faith not so tooled that man is not fooled
By hardship in life as faith has arisen?

Be still in your heart and look for that part
That God has in mind for days in your life.
For faith’s great art is to know from the start
That there is great profit in all of our strife.

Be still and know that God loves us so
That He can make pain into unending pleasure;
His Spirit will show where we are to go
To inherit with joy the greatest of treasure.

We have a treasure beyond any measure
When we truly trust in God and man;
We cannot measure our heavenly treasure,
But God and man certainly can.
