Obedience to God's Will Archives - Page 5 of 7 - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Overcoming Temptation

And so, love not the world
Nor selfishness, greed
Seek God’s glory alone
Let His Spirit, always lead.

If you are willing, obedient
The good you shall eat
But if you refuse and rebel
…. be devoured, by defeat.

Our motives so matter
To take, or to give
Self-serving, or God’s glory
For what do we live?

Thro’ His Spirit, God gives
In His people, are sown
Differing talents and gifts
That His glory, be known.

Yes, pray for God’s people
To share Christ with others
Their children and friends
For wisdom, undercover.

Jesus taught us to love
Not just neighbors, but foes
Yes, to love our enemies
If even cursing…bless those.

For to live, or to die
In Christ, always gain
No matter the price
No matter the pain.

So, restoring relationships
In place of cancellation
No longer angry, resentful
God’s loving, transformation.

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

Have you learnt to release
Every burden you bear
Let go of each weight
And sin, to God’s care.
