Bound to Christ not emotions Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Knowing or Obeying?

More than knowing, is our growing,
Not understanding, but undertaking,
More than defining, are we applying?
Not just saying, do keep obeying.

Now godliness with contentment,
Is surely, great gain,
God shall supply, all your need ,
By Christ Jesus, we obtain.

Yes by faith, not pew spectators,
But by faith, become His laborer,
Not wrapped up, in our own lives,
But by faith, obey the Savior.

Am not conformed, to this world,
But transformed, my mind renewing,
May prove, what’s good, acceptable,
The perfect will of God, keep choosing.

While Jesus said, “I am the way,
The truth, and the life,
No one comes to the Father,
Except through Me”….alone suffice.

And so instead, of our resentment,
Ignore offenses, forgive their views,
Be not bound, by negativity,
Instead in love, share His Good News.

Again, recall our God provides.
An escape, when we are tempted.
He will rescue, as we obey.
For in Christ, we are protected.

Keep being filled, by God’s Spirit,
Walk by faith, ‘self’ daily dying,
Be not rebellious, nor self-serving,
Seek to obey, God’s Word applying.

Lord, teach us to number;
Our days, that we apply;
Our hearts unto wisdom;
Lest wasted, dissatisfied.

Yes daily build, believing God;
Knowing He, burns up all dross;
Do walk by faith, always trusting;
Obeying Jesus, all else is loss.
