Insecurities

Do keep calling, and abiding
Wholly trust Him, our Head
Handing Him, all our fears
Walk by faith, instead.

Our Personal Baggage

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

Shame-Blame Cycle

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

Shame, Disclaim, Blame

When failing, we do wrong
Try to bury, in shame
Then, blame on another
While lies excuses, we proclaim.

Israel and her Foes

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.

“Be strong and of good courage”

And Modern Israel again
Of these words, must take heed
Yet likewise, on our journey
We too also, have need.

His Earthen Vessels

We’re challenged, on every side
Not crushed, tho’ hard-pressed
But thro’ Jesus, not despairing
Our Great Potter, knows best.

Be Faithful, Endure

So, be of good cheer
For Jesus has overcome
The world, the flesh and the devil
Know in Him, we have won.

Blind Spots

Denying, defending
Denouncing as true
Each weakness and failure
God points out to you?

Temptations

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