Follow faith not feelings Archives - Page 5 of 6

Hardness of Heart

May our wants and our will
Be in line, with the Lord
Lest our hearts become hard
And resentments, are stored.

But sadly, so often
We too, failed to obey
For instead of us fishing
We’re distracted, and stray.

As Daniel, and friends
Faced a fierce, fiery furnace
Said “Our God, can deliver
And if not, we still serve Him”.

The world, thro’ its culture
The flesh, and our feelings
The devil’s deceptions
Temptations, so appealing.

Yet despite persecution
Face hardship and suffering
May Jesus, be exalted
Be His sacrifice , a holy offering.

Yes, be an encourager
With a Barnabus heart
All are called to encourage
Not criticize, tear apart.

Are you caught up with ‘life’
Desires of the flesh
Deceived by the devil
Let this world enmesh?

Do learn to forgive
So you can forsake
Lest you carry hurts
Resentments, heartache.

In exchange for your sin
He will give you, His Spirit
Be discontented, no longer
Yield your life, He will fill it.

Feeling your failing
Seems God, is not answering
Frustrated by failure
Confusion and cancelling.
