A slave of righteousness or unrighteousness Archives - Page 2 of 7

We’re Still in the Desert!

For by faith, they could enter;
Doubting, denying kept them out;
For faith is pleasing to God;
What is your life, all about?

Yes God restores, if we’re repentant;
Start confessing, and conforming;
Start obeying, wholly yielding;
By His Spirit, filling, transforming.

For “righteousness, exalts a nation;
But sin is a reproach, to any people”;
So may we guard, protect the Truth;
Keep God’s Word, spurning evil.

Are using Scripture, not as a mirror;
But as a weapon, to beat others;
And so, break God’s commands;
For they fail, to love another.

You find a deep need;
To have your own way;
So, the plans of all others;
Must follow your say.

With no beauty in us
But the fruit that we bear
Keep abiding and growing
That God’s glory we share.

So listen not, to your feelings;
No dark thoughts, in your mind;
Set your heart, and call on Jesus;
Claim His Word, in prayer remind.

With our freedoms and rights;
We so soon, are self-serving;
Then in place of surrender;
We’re caught up, with our yearnings.

Be daily dying, to myself
Putting on the LORD Jesus
To walk by faith, being faithful
Knowing You, are ever with us.

Are we carnal and fleshly
Walk by faith, or by sight?
By our lusts, sensual desires
Live by instincts, appetites?
