Follow faith not feelings Archives - Page 5 of 7

Learning to Wrestle

And who doesn’t strive
To achieve in our flesh
Instead, learn to wrestle
With God, till we’re blessed.

Yes, keep waiting on God
The LORD only, our choice
Persevere and be faithful
‘Til we hear His voice.

God is pleased by our faith
As we trust, and obey
So, fear not, stay faithful
Follow His will and way.

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?
