Contentment is in Christ Jesus Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Escape Temptations

For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.

But in place of God’s lordship
Satan swiftly deceived
Appealed to their senses
Denied truths, God revealed.

Stay far from temptations
Not seeking our pleasure
Instead, cleaving closer
To Christ, our true treasure.

“You will show me, the path of life
In Your presence, fullness of joy
Weeping, may endure for a night
But in the morning, comes joy.”

The soldiers were gambling
For Jesus’ garments to win
Concerned with the outer
So blind to their sin.

So younger or older
Both need to repent
Whether passion or pride
Instead, live as Father meant.

Do you drink from the fount
That never runs dry
Living waters that flow
And forever, satisfy?

We must seek God, alone
In the quietness, and pray
Ask God, to guide us
To draw near, every day.

Know our days upon earth
Our stewardship of time
All our talents and treasures
Belong to the Divine.

Are we pouting, or praising
Is our attitude, right?
Are we thankless or thankful
When we’re out of sight?
