Triumph over Trouble

Read:  Psalm 70 / Proverbs 25 / Ezra 4 / 1 Peter 4

Psalm 70:3,4 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha...  Let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
Proverbs 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Ezra 4:4 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building.
1 Peter 4:4,7,12 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer... They think it strange that ye run not with them... Beloved, think it not strange.

Our triumph over trouble now
Is found in future days explored,
For every knee to Christ shall bow
And every tongue shall call Him Lord. 

The prophecy to build the wall
And temple in those troubling days
Foresaw when Christ, as Lord of all,
At last shall reign with endless praise.
