Passion for God & His will Archives - Page 3 of 5

A Tale of Two Brothers

So younger or older
Both need to repent
Whether passion or pride
Instead, live as Father meant.

For our child learns to walk
In our footsteps each day
Let us follow the Master
Lest they learn other ways.

Let God’s Word, be your food
Like Jeremiah, of old
Bringing joy, and rejoicing
As your heart, overflows.

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

Too often, each day
It’s all about me
My feelings and thoughts
Too self-centered, I see.

So, surrender my rights
This day is not mine
Knowing all is from God
Not my will, but Thine.

We must seek God, alone
In the quietness, and pray
Ask God, to guide us
To draw near, every day.

So, we likewise must repent
Of rebelling, and sleeping
We should rather, seek God
Not self-serving, but reaping.

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?
