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

Our Feelings or God’s Favor?

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

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

Yes daily die, to fleshly self;
Start constant living, in Christ;
Be no longer, self-centered;
Now in Christ, wholly sufficed.

Be not ashamed, of the Gospel;
‘Tis the power of God;
To salvation for everyone;
Who believes, responds.

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

Not a self-serving ministry
But sinners saved, when speaking
Not into personal prosperity
But lost souls, we’re seeking.

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.”
