Drawing nearer to God Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Wait upon The Lord

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

Since we were purchased, by His blood
The price, now fully paid
Sealed and stamped for eternity
We’re counted righteous, be not afraid.

And learn daily to forgive
Reflecting God’s love
For His goodness and kindness
Daily depend, from above.

For parents aren’t perfect
They come with their baggage
May kids grow, self-examine
To avoid long-term damage.

But, if we’ve a low esteem
Always carrying, chronic shame
Subconsciously, ever struggling
Feeling guilt, so casting blame.

Be not discouraged, nor despair
As He prepares you, in Christ
Working all things for good
By grace in Him, fully sufficed.

Don’t harden your heart
Staying stubborn, defiant
With grievances, grudges
Hard-headed, self-reliant.

Know God’s Word, teaches both
God’s sovereignty, His will
But also, our heart’s free choice
To stay hardened, or Spirit filled.

Rest in Him, and wait patiently
Fret not o’er those who prosper
Those working wicked ways
Whose works are improper.

Once we’re strong in the Lord
And the power of His might
In the armor of God
Each temptation takes flight.
