Bulls and bears may break your peace
The Prince of peace keeps you in one piece
A mighty star, you may fall in foreclosure
Jehovah Jirah will fill your chest of treasure
Though you play the game, let not your heart be there
These uncertainties may be real but are indeed temporary
Never in your heart entertain the thought of despair
Even if market indices are ‘rolling and coasting’
Diverse experts may be at their wit’s end
Yet the Omniscient God is your surest bet
So do not worry about anything
But endeavor to pray concerning everything
Now Gladness seems far, your peace of mind stall’
Though he really winks and seeks your attention
Joy beckons while Happiness and Laughter call
Yet your heart is heavy and far from praise
Brighten your countenance and lighten your heart
Gladness and joy will soften your mien
Face the challenge and future with courage and verve
Coming your way are God’s favor and that of men
Gaze into the horizon and see the rainbow
Opening for you is heaven’s window
Survey the clouds and see the silver lining
Bestowed on you are comfort and super blessing
Focus on Jesus, reject Satan and know who is Boss
You cannot lose as much treasure as patient Job
Just like him God will restore more than your loss
Only hold on to the treasures of heaven.
(Matt. 6; 19-21; Jer. 33: 10-11; Job 42:10; Psm.126: 1; Joel 2: 25-26)
