Tools In The Master's Hands



Tool's In The Master's Hands

By George Thurlow


But for just a moment
Be affliction light,
With Grace that's all sufficient
As balm for our plight.

Stepping stones to blessing
Veiled by darkest night...
The eternal weight of Glory
Exceeding earthly height.

Troubles and tribulations,
Just tools in the Master’s hands,
Transforming the temporal
To His eternal plan.

They are but light afflictions
Not worthy to compare,
To the Glory that will be revealed
When we get over there.


2 Corinthians 4:17-18
17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Romans 8:18
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us
