Saying or Obeying?

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

Are we pouting, or praising
Is our attitude, right?
Are we thankless or thankful
When we’re out of sight?

Man is driven by sin
So focused, enticed
Instead, see God’s perspective
Stay centered, on Christ.

Then, instead of the darkness
We rather, shine bright
In place of the evil
Share His truth and light.

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.

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

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

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

Know hurts to our heart
Must be forgiven
Our pain, and revenge
We’re in our own ‘prison’.
