Be patient waiting on God Archives - Page 4 of 15

Closed Doors

When a door slams shut
There is rarely a ‘why’
God suddenly closes
‘Oft a puzzling surprise.

Do you yearn to draw nearer
So filled, by God’s Spirit?
Take this vessel, so faulty
Come restore LORD, and fill it.

And so, no matter our lot
Walk by faith, and not sight
Cling to God’s Word, His grace
Midst our darkness, His light.

So, in place of self-searching
And following our feelings
Rather obey the LORD
Be wise, wait upon His leading.

Know God’s love, joy and peace
Are not fruits of circumstances
But fruits of His Spirit
Keep abiding, we’re His branches.

“Now the just shall live by faith
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
So, seek much faith, do not lack.

And yet our hope is not in weapons
The arm of flesh, will fail
Pray Israel trust in the LORD
Know her Messiah, wholly prevail.

Why do You stand
Afar off, O LORD?
Why do You hide
Amidst troubles, outpoured?

Since am weakened, in my body
And so no longer, can do all
But can rest in my weakness
Upon His strength, I daily call.

Yet, our God uses foes
In revealing His plan
That Israel, be saved
Despite the evil of man.
