So Near…So Far (The Inner…or Outer)

The soldiers were gambling
For Jesus’ garments to win
Concerned with the outer
So blind to their sin.
Boldness and Courage

Recall, God has commanded
We be strong, of good courage
Are not afraid, nor dismayed
Nor are we discouraged.
All, are Born Disabled

Our bodies aren’t perfect
Nor is our soul
For sin has disabled
No one is born whole.
Your Inner Thirst

Do you drink from the fount
That never runs dry
Living waters that flow
And forever, satisfy?
Your Soil

So, examine your soil
Give your heart, wholly to Him
Ask God, to point out
What may hinder within.
Saying or Obeying?

And here, Jesus reminds
It’s not what we say
Our words can be empty
It is whether, we obey.
Our Rebellion- God’s Warning

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

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

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

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