Stumbling Blocks or Stepping Stones
Does God ever use black angels
To carry out His plan
Does He reverse old Satan’s tactic
To change the lives of men.
I think He takes the happenings
Of life—amid our moans
And makes to us each thing we meet
Stumbling blocks or stepping stones.
I think He takes each pathway blockage
To test our mettle: be it foul or fair
And urges us to fight a good fight
And not as one who beat the air.
So if something happens to deter us
Let’s not fall down and groan
Let’s say - Lord with your help I will go on
And make of this—a stepping stone.
