His Earthen Vessels
We’re challenged, on every side
Not crushed, tho’ hard-pressed
But thro’ Jesus, not despairing
Our Great Potter, knows best.
Escape Temptations
For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.
Deception-Seduction
But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.
Forbidden Fruit
Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.
A Tale of Two Brothers
So younger or older
Both need to repent
Whether passion or pride
Instead, live as Father meant.
Rebelling or Reaping?
So, we likewise must repent
Of rebelling, and sleeping
We should rather, seek God
Not self-serving, but reaping.
Seek Life
As a soul, with a body
Ignore not your spirit
Jesus offers new life
Will you ask Him, come fill it?
O Come, Holy Spirit
Control and compel me
Conform me to Christ
Consume all the dross
His blood has sufficed.
Feel Desperate?
Feel desperate within
Transform me, O Lord
Am needing great change
May grace be outpoured.
Earthen Vessels
So dear saint, do not focus
On outer flaws, your external
Know God searches hearts
‘Tis our soul, that’s eternal.
