Faith in God, not the Flesh
And learn daily to forgive
Reflecting God’s love
For His goodness and kindness
Daily depend, from above.
Not Carnality but Christ
Recognizing, we’re daily drawn
To sinful, fleeting pleasures
Instead of seeking our God
His holy Presence, our treasure.
Escape Temptations
For when tempted, God provides
A way out, an escape
That we’re able, to endure
So let us learn, avoid mistakes.
Temptations
Once we’re strong in the Lord
And the power of His might
In the armor of God
Each temptation takes flight.
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.
God Promises Us Victory
Overwhelmed, on our own
We feel helpless, and lost
So set our mind, believe God’s Word
There is victory, through the cross.
Resist, When Tempted
Keep God’s Word, in our heart
Cry out to God, and resist
Resolve, I will obey
The Holy Spirit, will assist.
Temptation
And while God offers good
Temptation brings evil
Understanding our choice
Be His righteous people.
Take Your Eyes Off the Problem!
For the God who solved sin
Thro’ sending His Son
Can certainly solve
His children’s problems.
